4 stars Longer or short compositions, it doesn't matter. The only weaker part of this album are fillers which serves as mood setters, so it's obvious that they won't be top notch killer epic tracks (they're not supposed to be), even title track, Paradox Hotel isn't as good as the rest. Duller, more as simple Rock. When I want this, I listen Rock, not TFK. Nevertheless, it's not complete disappointment, just unusual. Music here is consistent (unlike this review) and stable. It's sad that as of mid 2010, this is the last TFK release (I would invite more). Lyrics are quite good as well. Lovely (in moster size) piece is of course Monsters and Men, but that was expected.

4(+), there are some weaker songs, but they cannot bring the strong ones down for me. Don't be mad at Flower Kings, they're just trying to accompany their great pieces by other songs. Not so epic ones, but good nevertheless.
