Album Description: Extreme is a US Rock band that achieved popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Some of Extreme's influences, Queen and Van Halen (the latter of which Gary Cherone would eventually join and later leave), are readily apparent from their music's multi-part vocal harmonies and electric guitar tone and instrumental techniques. The band lends the listener a sound that blends the genre of glam metal with the shredding guitar work of thrash metal. Being asked about their style, Extreme categorized their music as 'Funky Metal'. Extreme has released four studio albums, two EPs (in Japan) and two compilations since its formation. The band was one of the most successful of those from the early 1990s, selling over 10 million albums worldwide. Extreme rose to fame with its 1990 release Pornograffitti, which peaked at #10 on the Billboard 200.

When i first listened to it i said to myself let me give it two more times before i decide if i like it, well the album is a very strong album , but this was mt third time listning to it, but i recomend this album for people who like extreme , and for people who like powerful , yet very funk/groove orientated.

Rating: - This is Extreme for 2008
I got into Extreme in 2000 and therefore had the opportunity to experience their albums well after they disbanded. Not only that, in recent years, I've immersed myself in all of Nuno's solo bands. I was delighted when I found out that my favourite band was making a new album. I was surprised with how long, though, it took me to get into this album. Firstly, as a drummer, Paul Geary and Mike Mangini have been major influences. I happened to really like Kevin Figueiredo and enjoyed his work on the Dramagods album. He does a great job on this album but I would have really loved to have had a full Extreme ... Read More
