Hangover Paradise - Lost In Reality (2025)

 

The third album from this band from The Netherlands.

The band was a sextet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

It is today ten years and eight days ago since I reviewed their 2013 debut album Mirrors in # 1 of this blog. My review of the 2017 follow up album Out Of Sight followed in February 2018 in # 2 of this blog

Neither of their first two albums impressed me. 

Hangover Paradise's music is neo-prog with some strong mainstream pop/rock and AOR influences. That has been their genre and style since their debut album and the band continues this style on their one hour new album.

Their weakest spot on their first two albums was their vocals. That has been fixed on their new album as the vocalist now sings within his limits and does not run out of abilities.

The sound is pretty fluffy and light.

The music is pretty good at times. This is their best album so far although it is not an impressive or a good album. Neo-prog fans should perhaps give this album a try.
