Saudades de Rock

This album is absolutely incredible! Gary, Nuno, Patrick and KFigg have done a fantastic job on Extreme's comeback album! Gary is absolutely fantastic on his vocals, especially on "Learn to Love", "Last Hour", "Ghost" and "Interface." Nuno does a great job with "King of the Ladies"...all in all a great album...I definately recommend to everyone!!
I saw these guys in concert in August and all I have to say is that these guys are HOT (in EVERY aspect)!!!! Best concert I have been to EVER...and I have been to a lot!!
Definately FIVE STARS!!

The vocalist was already proven to be incapable from "waiting for~" album, not to mention Van Halen's destroyed album. This pop singer should stay where he belongs. He is just an insult to such a majestic guitar master as Nuno. For everything else 5 stars, with vocal -2 stars, since the more he tries to "sing", the more destroyed the "song" is.

great cd, but nothing will ever top lll sides ever!!!!!
pumped to hear them together....keep doin your thing guys....

After being out of the studio for nearly a decade, Extreme returns with a new album. The travelings of vocalist Gary Cherone and Guitarist Nuno Bettencourt have seen them embark on various solo projects, not to mention Cherones one album stint with Van Halen shortly after Extreme broke up around 1998.

The album I have is the European release, which has an extra track that features the song EXAMPLE on it, which was recorded in 1995. Fans of their old stuff will love hearing this track, as it definitely takes one back to the good old days. Regardless, for being away from a while, they still have it. The funk rock elements one may remember from there past are still relevant here, with strong songwriting and polished production. Saudades de Rock seems eclectic and versatile enough to show off bits and pieces that one may have liked from the previous four studio albums, making it a welcome come back. The semi-heavy, rollicking vibe of "Run" is great, and quasi ballads like the melodic piano tune "Peace" help mix up the track listing. Cherone's vocals are still signature, although a little more raspy than the old days.

Some songs don't grab me as much as others, but the album still has enough strength to classify as a good album by a great band that has waited far too long to get back together.

I was told to pick this one up, so i did. When i first listened to it i said to myself let me give it two more times before i decide if i like it, well the album is a very strong album , but this was mt third time listning to it, but i recomend this album for people who like extreme , and for people who like powerful , yet very funk/groove orientated.
