The songs you are about to listen to
are off our "This World" CD (self released on April Fools 2010). 90% of
which we recorded in a 9x6x13 garage, next to a waterheater and washer/dryer.
It was cramped, hot and sweaty, AND we loved every stinky minute of it!

In
my review of the band's earlier demo, I said: "A full-length CD from these guys would
be something to behold." Now, finally, "This World", the full-length
CD by Fools Paradise is here and I am pleased to
report that it is indeed something to behold.
"This World" starts out with a track (Why) that sounds a lot
like Uriah Heap. It's got that classic, vintage rock sound that you
used to hear on the radio all the time but can't find now no matter how hard you
try. Track 2 (Midnight Lover) sounds like vintage Deep Purple.
Do you see the theme here yet? This is an album for anybody who likes the classic
hard rock era, but "This World" still has enough of a freshedge --
with its high production values, quality songwriting, etc, -- that it sounds new and just
great.
Vocalist Nick Neilson still sounds a lot like Meat Loaf
at times, which of course, is a good thing;
Meat Loaf is one of the best vocalists in rock history. This is no more apparent
than on track 6 "World's Burning". The solos on the CD
are fiery and dynamic in the vein of Ted Nugent's style. And the
songs
are irresistible, hooking you from the beginning and getting those hooks in deeper with
each and every listen.
"This World" is one of my favorite albums of last year, and this
year, as well. It's fast, fun and a total blast
to listen to.

With the smooth sounds of classic rock paired with a slightly harder more metal-like edge,
Fools Paradise clearly has a little of something for everyone whether you’re into the
rock bands of yesteryear or heavy metal.
- Bad Jimi - This track has an interesting feel as it
provides an actual narrative, uniting it with sly and mischievous instrumentals.
- World’s Burning - This dramatic sounding song has a
particularly melancholy feel that amplifies the emotional feeling evoked by the track.
Complemented with haunting lyrics and well-timed harder edged guitar riffs, this song
truly makes you feel what the band wants you to feel as they are playing it.
- Diamond Halo - A particularly deceptive track, it sneakily
hides the fact that it is the most unique track on the whole album as there is an
excellent variation in pacing, volume, solos, and different melodies/riffs, a seemingly
chaotic mish-mash of ingredients that surprisingly create an utterly delectable final
result.
