With Paradise Island, Lake gave listeners no real surprises. Indeed, their style of music could almost be looked on as a brand name. You pretty much knew from the get-go that any Lake album would be composed of well-written, arranged, and performed pop/rock pieces that showed slight (and sometimes not so slight) signs of progressive rock tendencies. The funny thing is, though, that the albums never really sound the same -- they only sound like Lake albums. It is a shame these discs are so hard to come by. They are worth the effort, though, especially if music by bands like Supertramp is your thing. ~ Gary Hill, All Music Guide.

Many thanks for this record! I was perusing your blog and it seemed worth checking out, and even though I've long left my penchant for prog-pop behind, I just couldn't stop playing it. Cheers!

Thanks BG!

Get the other Lake albums while you're here - They're just as good!

Glad you enjoyed it. I have a thing for prog-pop stuff too. Must be left over from my days listening to Supertramp!
