And this is where we differ strongly on opinion. The polished production may be mostly constant in recent albums and it's hard to identify objectively but there is a clear fundamental style difference in later albums which first really stood out on 'Euphoria'. Maybe because Steve Clark was a Jimmy Page fan so was from a different mindset as the other guys, I don't know. But I've listened to them all and Euphoria definitely marks a Version 2 of the band...
