Product Description
From Amazon.com
Extreme's debut album is sometimes uneven but always fun. Van Halen influences are prominent, which is ironic given singer Gary Cherone's post-Extreme career. This album, like all of Extreme's work, is notable for Nuno Bettancourt's guitar playing, but the songs aren't bad either, mostly examining childhood from a playful but oddly mature perspective. "Kid Ego," their first single, is here, as well as "Mutha (Don't Want to Go to School Today)," "Little Girls," "Big Boys Don't Cry," and the rock-out finale "Play with Me." There are a few ballads as well: "Watching, Waiting" is particularly poignant and surprisingly spiritual in content. This album showed Extreme's considerable potential, which peaked with their second album, Pornograffitti. --Genevieve Williams
CD Description
When Extreme first burst on the scene in 1989, glam/pop metal was all the rage, and while the band was better musicallyequipped than many of the other bands of the day, Extreme tried to blend into the then-hip musical climate with their self-titled debut.
Besides trying to fit in visually (justtake a look at the album's cover), the quartet rely on Van Halen-esque party anthems to get their point across. The album did spawn a few songs that would find mild success on MTV's "Headbanger's Ball" program (the hard-edged pop rockers "Kid Ego" and "Mutha"), but Extreme would have to wait for their next release, 1990's PORNOGRAFFITI, to obtain their commercial breakthrough.
