Quite simply, this album marks the return to form for the Stereo MC's, harking back to their best effort 'Connected'. 'Paradise' is an absolute MUST have for any Stereo MC fan!

If you have ever enjoyed anthing by the Stereo MC's then you will love this one. It's an interesting collection of new material presented in the classic Stereo MC's style. No low points on this disc. Take a chance on this and you won't be disappointed.

I can't believe it---the Stereo MC's released a new studio album in 2005 called "Paradise," and I didn't even know about the album until now! Well, the fact of the matter is that "Paradise" has not been released in the States, so there you go. But better late than never! The latest offering from Rob B & the gang, "Paradise" sees the group easing back on the beats & grooves a little bit, going for a cooler, smoother, laid-back kind of sound. Mind you, the Stereo MC's are no slouches when it comes to beats & grooves, and "Paradise" still has plenty of catchy stuff on it to spare, but it just isn't *as* slamming or as pumped-up as their stuff from the past. Nevertheless, "Paradise" is still high quality dance-pop/hip-hop as only the Stereo MC's can do it. Tracks like "Warhead," "Don't Know," "Float On," "Breathe Out," and the instrumental "Out Of Control" still get the head bobbin' and the fingers snappin'. Rob B's commanding voice still grabs your attention, and the album's production & sound is first-rate (the Stereo MC's are veteran studio wizards, after all!). I'm disappointed that "Paradise" did not get a Stateside release, and I wish I had bought (and reviewed) the album back in 2005. So listen up, Stereo MC's fans (especially if you live in North America): "Paradise" is worth every penny of the import price, so buy it! And thank you, Rob B & company, for making another great album.

An excited fan, I ordered this CD. Unfortuantley I never received it because the place I ordered from claimed a misprint on the price. So here I sit with out. Sadnes.
