15-20 years ago they were huge with of course their well-known
acoustic little number called “More than words”, which reached
the number 1 position almost everywhere. Now they are back
with a new CD and signed to FRONTIERS RECORDS. Musically the
Funkrock is still the same as back then, so for fans of EXTREME
this new reunion album will be a must, but for me personally
I was never a big fan of EXTREME. The band sounded like a
cross between VAN HALEN, MR. BIG, QUEEN and LIVING COLOUR.
Although each of all these bands have done something good
for the music industry, I was never that moved by the music
of these acts (with the exception of some songs), even though
someone like JEFF SCOTT SOTO (one of my fave artists!) will
probably kill me by now as he will say the opposite. Anyway,
the new album ‘Saudades de Rock’ of EXTREME is now out and
includes 14 tracks. It rocks and will be a must-have for fans
of mentioned bands, although like I said personally I would
not call this a classic, just a nice Rockalbum…
