Released in 1999 this was the bands seventh studio album and was produced by the band and Pete Woodruffe, the album marked the bands return to their signature sound and contains the hit Promises that was co-written by Mutt Lange.
Even though Slang successfully revitalized Def Leppard, it didn't become a huge hit, which was a disappointment, considering that the band adjusted their sound to fit the times. Taking that into account, Def Leppard set out to make a classic Def Leppard album with Slang's successor, Euphoria. And, surprisingly, that's exactly what they've delivered. From the outset, it's clear that Euphoria finds the band returning to the glam-inflected, unabashedly catchy, arena-ready pop-metal that made them stars -- and it's also clear that they're not concerned with having a hit, they just want to make a good record. For them, that means returning to the pop-metal formula that made Pyromania and Hysteria blockbusters, even if they must know that this signature sound no longer guarantees a hit at the close of the '90s. It is true that this approach means Euphoria sounds out of time in 1999, but it's a tight, attractive album with more than its share of big hooks, strong riffs, and memorable melodies. There are a couple of slow moments here and there, but no more than those on Hysteria, and the best songs (particularly the opening triptych of "Demoltion Man," "Promises," "Back in Your Face," plus the jangly Beatles-esque "21st Century Sha-La-La Girl") are worthy additions to an already strong catalog. But what's best about Euphoria is that it's utterly not self-conscious. Def Leppard feels free to try straight pop, appropriate Gary Glitter riffs, or play straight metal, without caring whether it's hip or commercial. That doesn't mean Euphoria is a classic, but it does mean that it's their most appealing effort in over a decade.

Joe Elliott - "Larger-than-life rock 'n' roll is our signature, and we're actually quite proud of it. If anything, our mistake was briefly venturing away from it."
Phil Collen - "The signal could not have been more clear. People have decided what they want from this band, and that's just fine with us. We enjoy making records like 'Euphoria."
Joe Elliott - "Look at the charts. People are getting bored to tears with alternative whining. They want big-time rock 'n' roll stars again. They want excitement."
