There is no doubt that this album, being the band's 2nd studio release, is a modern day classic in rock/metal. The band's debut album was largely unknown, at least in the Uk, and it was this second far superior record which brought the band well-deserved fame and fortune.
From a guitarist's perspective, I have to say this is one of my all-time favourite albums. Nuno provides us all with a humbling demonstration of fast, intricate and incredibly inventive playing. His tone, helped by the crystal clear production, is also superb.
This is, however, an album not just about great guitar riffs. The band demonstrate the rock songwriting art with great aplomb. There are so many infectious tunes on this and each member of the band contributes to the overall effect, particularly Gary Cherone who gives his best vocal performance for Extreme.
This is without question one of the great rock/metal records of the 90s and any self-respecting music fan should own a copy.

I love this CD. It is a rock album, but with influences from fnk to jazz to blues to soul........ what a band.
Nuno is a world class guitarist, and plays some scary stuff - he does a lot of tapping, but in an original way.
The songs are all good, and don't forget, More Than Words topped the charts the world over. But songs like Get The Funk Out, Decadence Dance, Suzi Wants.... and the title track are the reason so many people love the record, and it should be part of every happy home.

I first heard extreme off a crackly casette from my guitar tutor next door. I came away with that cassette and he hasn't had it back since! More than words, though some will be annoyed at me mentioning it over the rest of the album, is the one that stands out to you on hearing it first of all, and is beautiful. Nuno Bettencourt ..... he either inspires you to continue with guitar or makes you feel it's all futile! he's unbelievable. Maybe not because he tries out new stuff ALL THE TIME, but just because he has a differnet dynamic, a different passion to his playing. He definately catches your ear!!
And, Gary Cherone explores a completely different sound in his voice, an instrument in its own right, throughout this album. More than Words is also a notable song on this point - beautiful.

Extreme's definitive & best recording.
Like many rock albums its break through success was based on a ballad. In this case "More Than Words", but theres way more to it than that. Read more

Amazing modern classic of fast heavy rock!
This is just such a classic of rock standards. Just alone for the genius guitar work of their legend guitarist Nuno Bettencourt, who exploded his own well known jaw-dropping guitar... Read more

Bit dated
I loved this album when it first came out so I bought it recently. Some good songs but a bit dated now unfortunately.

Absolutely THE most addictive album I have ever listened to.
After I first heard it I played it almost constantly in the car for about 4-5 months and in the end had to throw away the tape to get the music out of my head for a while. Read more
