Music reviews of Saudades de Rock
Music Review: This is Extreme for 2008
Rating: 5 Stars
I got into Extreme in 2000 and therefore had the opportunity to experience their albums well after they disbanded. Not only that, in recent years, I've immersed myself in all of Nuno's solo bands. I was delighted when I found out that my favourite band was making a new album. I was surprised with how long, though, it took me to get into this album. Firstly, as a drummer, Paul Geary and Mike Mangini have been major influences. I happened to really like Kevin Figueiredo and enjoyed his work on the Dramagods album. He does a great job on this album but I would have really loved to have had a full Extreme album with Mike Mangini (as opposed to 3 songs on Punchline).
Anyway, I would describe this album as combination of the straight-ahead rock attitude of the first album, some of the rawness of Waiting for the Punchline and the sensibilities of Nuno's solo material. As with any Extreme album, you'll find many different types of styles.
Star = Extreme's take on classic rock
Comfortably Dumb = This song could have been on Waiting for the Punhcline (that's a really good thing!)
Learn to Love = Incredibly funky beat/riff with a great, catchy chorus.
Take Us Alive = Fun little song
Run = Funky and one of my instant favourites
Last Hour = To be honest, this is probably my least favourite song despite some great vocals by Gary
Flower Man = Punkish type feel. I absolutely love Nuno and Pat's background vocals, especially in the last chorus.
King of the Ladies = Awesome song. I love the fact that Nuno sings lead.
Ghost = Amazing pop rock song. An Extreme classic.
Slide = One of Extreme's funkiest songs. Love it.
Interface = A great re-do on this Dramagods song. Took a while but I came to really like this version.
Sunrise = One of those songs that you don't "get" right away but I've come to like it.
Peace = Another Extreme classic. One of the songs that made me feel like this was a "real" Extreme album.
Description of Saudades de Rock
Extreme is a US Rock band that achieved popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Some of Extreme's influences, Queen and Van Halen (the latter of which Gary Cherone would eventually join and later leave), are readily apparent from their music's multi-part vocal harmonies and electric guitar tone and instrumental techniques. The band lends the listener a sound that blends the genre of glam metal with the shredding guitar work of thrash metal. Being asked about their style, Extreme categorized their music as 'Funky Metal'. Extreme has released four studio albums, two EPs (in Japan) and two compilations since its formation. The band was one of the most successful of those from the early 1990s, selling over 10 million albums worldwide. Extreme rose to fame with its 1990 release Pornograffitti, which peaked at #10 on the Billboard 200.Arena Rock CDs
