By the time we were reaching the new millenium, Def Leppard had scrubbed itself clean of any lingering stains of metal, and what was left was what could barely be called hard rock. Closer to the point, they had become almost a pop band. Somewhere out there, no doubt they still have a following, but I can only guess how many of their fans from the 1980's are still enjoying what they are producing.
Here on Euphoria, it begins reasonably well with "Demolition Man" and even "Promises". From this point on, all it has is sugar coated sugar treacle ballads, that just make you want to either put your fist through the speakers, or vomit all over the furniture.
Yep. This is a desperately disappointing release. The band must like what they are writing, and there must be fans out there who like it. I wish I'd waited until this had been released for $1 before I bought it. Another thirty bucks I can never recoup.
Rating: Are they even trying anymore? Or are we going to get another decade of this? 1/5.
