This is an amazing CD. I'd never even heard of these guys before, and this CD was awesome!!

One of 2008's best. by Chris (Maine, USA) 5 Stars

Peter's musical genius never ceases to amaze, this album is brilliance. As a metal-head it's nice having some party music (a lot of this stuff is danceable). I love the lyrics to "Monkey Business" and "Feed Us". The first talks about all the crap going on in the business/ finance world while the second talks about people's obsession with the lives of "celebritards" and needing to know about every tawdry scandal. There are a couple tracks on the disc I don't listen too much, namely "No One Knows" and "Not Your Kind". Highlights: "Monkey Business", "Follow Me", "Feed Us", "Reach Out (And Regret)", "Here's the News"

Best of the best  by R. Neff (NJ, United States) 5 Stars

There is no way to describe the god-awful metal genius that is Peter Tagtgren. The newest album by Pain is another journey into the seemingly illimitable depths of this musician's hidden cavern of incendiary poems. Pain is Peter's musical exercise in autonomous control....writing, recording, mixing, performing and producing the whole thing from soup to nuts (guest appearances notwithstanding). Once again, the result in luminous. Undeniably heavy and slithering with electronica, the end result grinds you to dust with a less caustic blade than his other band Hypocrisy, but with no less potent a venom. Hard driving anger arrives (Monkey Business) and carries some beautifully crafted musicality in tow (Follow Me). Other passengers offer an even more impressive gift of destruction, forcing facial contortions and inflicting spinal compression on a biblical level (Generation X & Live Fast, Die Young). Intense in it's delivery, sardonic in it's messages...Cynic Paradise gives unto us another pure musical expression of apocalyptic vehemence.

Once again Pain delivers.... by David Falzano (Boston, MA USA) 4 Stars

If it's one thing that's lacking sometimes in the music industry it's consistency, but to fans of Pain that is not the case! Pain's all-too-catchy industrial, metallic sounds (& excellent production) come from the metal master Peter Tagtgren of Hypocrisy fame. (Hypocrisy is one of the best, if not the best in all extreme metal.) 'Cynic Paradise' is CD #6 for this band & it once again shows how this band just keeps proving to stay strong & perhaps keeps getting better as each album comes out. Personally I think 'Psalms of Extinction' (the previous release) is a little better than this one but still if you are a fan of this band you will not be disappointed! And for those of you new to industrial metal PLEASE give Pain a chance...the blast beats are just too killer to ignore!

Peter Tagtgren - musician, producer and creative brain behind Pain - is used to pushing boundaries.

He has been described by Alternative Press as "the Rick Rubin of Scandinavian metal." Pain is a solo-project in which T gtgren played every instrument, culminating in a sound that is...
