Music reviews of Extreme II: Pornograffitti
Music Review: Amazing guitar and harmonies, but....
Rating: 4 Stars
I played the heck of this album when it originally came out. Nuno Bentencourt is truly one of the most amazing musicians to ever pick up an instrument. I loved that that these guys were able to create their songs with amazing guitar parts and really lush harmonies. Every song on this album is musically great. You get a mix of everything from Chillipepper'esque rap/rock (decadent dance), to country rock (hole hearted), and ballads like More than Words, which was a double edged sword for the band.
The one thing that drives me nuts about Extreme has ALWAYS been their lyrics. Some of them were great. Take the 'III Sides album'. Great stuff there, lots of good social commentary. But on 'Pornograffitti', there was all this stupid nursery rhyme, mother goose imagery that made me cringe when it first came out and still does. Unfortunately, those lyrics kind of cheapened this album to me and make it hard to play the album in front of any thinking person.
I still give it high marks and I still get enjoyment out of it, but the lyrics.... oy!
Description of Extreme II: Pornograffitti
Limited edition Japanese pressing of the of the 1990 album. Extreme came into its own on the concept album Pornograffitti, with the band's strongest set of songs and an intellectual theme revolving around the struggle for genuine love and romance in a sleazy, decadent society full of greed and corruption. The band shows a strong desire to experiment and push the boundaries of the pop-metal format, adding a funky horn section on 'Get the Funk Out' and displaying progressive compositional leanings throughout, and virtuoso Nuno Bettencourt puts down his guitar for the enjoyable pseudo-lounge piano ballad of 'When I First Kissed You'. But of course, the album is best known for its two acoustic-guitar-only hits, the number one ballad 'More Than Words' and the equally fine full-band rocker 'Hole Hearted'. Other highlights include 'Decadence Dance' and 'Song for Love'. A&M. 2005.Extreme's best recording displays this band's considerable talents to their best advantage, particularly those of guitarist Nuno Bettencourt and vocalist Gary Cherone (as of this writing, sounding a lot like Sammy Hagar as the current singer for Van Halen). The album's success has mainly been due to the soft-spoken hits "More Than Words" and "Hole Hearted," but there's plenty to like on this album, which explores the very general theme of love in a cynical world. Extreme had a lot on their minds when they recorded Pornograffitti, as evidenced by the songs "Decadence Dance," "When I'm President," and "Money (In God We Trust)." Aside from the aforementioned ballads and the loungey "When I First Kissed You," this album rocks out, examining serious themes with considerable humor, which prevents Extreme from ever sounding preachy or condescending. --Genevieve Williams
