The Purpose Paradox is Dilemma's third studio album, and it's their most ambitious work yet. This album tells the story of Neon, a man navigating the complexities of life and searching for deeper meaning. Guided by a mysterious voice named Electra, Neon’s journey is one of resilience, hope, and self-discovery. Dilemma poured their hearts into crafting a sound that is both broader and more technical, promising an exhilarating listening experience.
The album boasts guest appearances by Derek Sherinian and Mark Lettieri, which adds a whole new dimension to the music. Their contributions help elevate the album's intricate compositions and dynamic soundscapes.
This deluxe edition includes a bonus disc with instrumental versions of all the tracks, providing a deeper appreciation of the album's intricate soundscapes!
