"Paradox" is the eleventh studio album by the Canadian-American rock band Steppenwolf, released in 1984. The album saw the band experimenting with a more contemporary sound, incorporating elements of synth-pop and new wave alongside their trademark hard rock style.
While "Paradox" received mixed reviews from critics upon its release, it did achieve some commercial success, particularly with the single "Rock 'n Roll Rebels," which became a minor hit. The album also includes tracks like "Hold On (Never Give Up, Never Give In)" and "Man on a Mission," which showcase the band's energetic performances and anthemic choruses.
Despite its departure from their classic sound, "Paradox" still retains the rebellious spirit and gritty energy that Steppenwolf is known for, making it an intriguing addition to their discography for fans and newcomers alike.
