School Of Euphoria is the third studio album by Danish electronic rock band Spleen United, released on 30 January 2012 by Copenhagen Records. The album was developed over several years following Neanderthal (2008) and marked a decisive shift toward a more electronic and club-oriented sound, characterised by extensive use of synthesisers, programmed rhythms, and repetitive structures, including influences from acid house. Compared with the band's earlier work, School of Euphoria placed less emphasis on traditional rock instrumentation and song-based arrangements.
Upon release, School of Euphoria received generally positive reviews from Danish music critics, who praised its production and stylistic focus while offering more mixed responses to its pacing and emotional range. The album produced several singles, including "Days of Thunder", "Misery", and the title track "Euphoria", and was supported by a Danish tour in spring 2012. The release coincided with a period of heightened live activity for the band, including late-night festival performances and experimental concert formats.
In retrospect, School of Euphoria has been viewed as a defining release in Spleen United's catalogue, representing the culmination of the band's transition from alternative rock toward fully electronic expression.
