Artificial Paradise (The Guess Who album)

Artificial Paradise is the tenth studio album by the Canadian rock band The Guess Who.

This was the first album by the group to feature bassist Bill Wallace.

Musically, Artificial Paradise finds The Guess Who showcasing a variety of styles: rockers ("Orly", "All Hashed Out," "Rock and Roller Steam"), ballads ("Samantha's Living Room," "Lost and Found Town"), and even world music ("Hamba Gahle-Usalang Gahle").

The album is likely best remembered for its record jacket and inner sleeve, which is an extensive lampoon of direct mail advertising.

[2] AllMusic's Joe Viglione: "Artificial Paradise may be the most consistent album project by the post-Randy Bachman Guess Who, a solid offering of strong melodies, superb production, and focused artistic vision.
