    While containing a pretty high variety in house music, this album is still quite boring. Album opens absolutely awful, with some very "catered to the width public" dance tracks, nothing that you haven't heard before. Album takes a shift after the absolute menacing track "Mafia". With "Frankenstein" and "Dont Go Mad" being decent tracks. "Paradise Again" feels a little roughly mixed, butWhile containing a pretty high variety in house music, this album is still quite boring.

With "Redlight" being one of the worst tracks I've heard in a while. I'm a big fan of The Police and "Roxanne". And hearing this sample butchered like this made me cringe. Some decent highs and awfully boring lows.… Expand

    repetitive as hell in most of its track, sometimes offereing some interesting beats, but it doesent work for most of the time, plus the lyrics are pretty superficial

    Maybe not that exactly album to start exploring SHM, but old school fans will be glad, I think.

    After 2 compilations release over 10 years ago this is what some Swedish House Mafia fans are looking for!
    It doesn’t relate so much with previous works as Swedish House Mafia but takes its risks to explore new sounds that resemble the prime days of Axwell, Sebastian and Steve.

    Clocking in at over an hour, there's enough here for all types of fans to enjoy and rejoice that the guys have returned.

    At its worst, Paradise Again is derivative and dated. Tracks play like pastiches. ... In its livelier moments, the album tries to revive sounds in new contexts. ... Most of the record is palatable but unremarkable – an algorithmic play for radio airtime.

    At best a fiery evocation of the electronic elements that team thrive on, ‘Paradise Again’ isn’t hell-on-Earth, but it doesn’t leave you enraptured.
