Def Leppard released "Euphoria" 1999

Def Leppard released their seventh studio album Euphoria June 8, 1999.  Three years after Slang, it was a breath of fresh air.  It reached #11 on Billboards 200 and went gold in the U.S., Canada and Japan.

My favorite track is Paper Sun, which was written about the car bombing in Omagh, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland.

Def Leppard released their seventh studio album, "Euphoria", June 8, 1999.   

In June 2009, The Record Review noted that "the band has yet to match it with any release since (despite the stiff competition of 2002's X) and it still stands between leaders "Hysteria" and "Pyromania" as the band's best album." I tend to think its third behind the other two.  My favorite is the haunting but beautiful "Paper Sun".
