 (10 Customer Reviews)
Extreme's self-titled 1989 debut made the Boston quartet quite a "buzz band" in the hard rock underground, but it wasn't until their sophomore release one year later, PORNOGRAFFITI, that the band scored their breakthrough hit. In the spring of '91, the lovely acoustic ballad "More than Words" was released as a single, and instantly became a smash hit (nearly a year after PORNOGRAFFITI was first released). And while they scored another hit with the similarly styled "Hole Hearted," Extreme's new pop fans must have been surprised when they heard the rest of the album, which was comprised mostly of hard rock/heavy metal tunes.
The album was also the band's first stab at writing a concept album--it dealt with the media's subtle yet constant use of sex in advertising and it's effect on the public. If you're in the mood for rock with a progressive edge and loaded with six-string wizardry (courtesy of Nuno Bettencourt), just check out "Decadence Dance," "When I'm President," "Get the Funk Out," It('s A Monster)," "He Man Woman Hater," and the title track.

what a guitar player
this album is full of great guitar. nuno is a great musician. his guitar solo in get the funk out sends chills up my spine. this is a perfect guitar solo, i am sure if you know your guitar and musicianship you will agree, if you don't go back to your room and just give up. this is the stuff us guitar people want to hear, better off just keep listening to your alvin and the chipmunks albums and grow up. this album is great from start to finish. all songs are good. hope you enjoyed my review. cya

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No great album
the songs "Get The Funk Out" and "More Than Words" are even worth the money you pay for the album!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No highly underrated band
Extreme was one of those bands who, for the most part, rocked and rocked well. Like some other groups (Mr. Big, Night Ranger), they had a huge smash hit ballad and that's the way most people thought of them. Pornograffitti is a pretty good cd filled with a mix of styles, mostly hard rock with lots of great vocals and a touch of funk. WHEN I FIRST KISSED YOU is a nice song but out of place (although it certainly demonstrates they were multi-faceted). I think their self-titled debut was just as good, if not better. Their best album, in my opinion, was "III SIDES TO EVERY STORY," (which, sadly, I don't even see as available on this site). If you get a chance to check it out, I highly recommend you do.

Dream Theater's web of metal and progressive elements comes roaring out of the speakers at full throttle like some manic coupling of Frank Zappa, Guns & Roses and Yes, a garish torrent of virtuoso chopsmanship, classical flourishes and good old fashioned nosebleed metal.
With his snaking, syncopated lines, complicated rhythmic variations and crunching tone, Dream Theater's John Petrucci is a guitar hero for the '90s, and string slingers who admire the likes of Alan Holdsworth and Steve Vai will find much to admire in his unhinged extended flights on "Voices" and "Erotomania." And singer James LaBrie possesses ...
