Extreme

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."

Extreme II: Pornograffitti

Just Lay Back

Extreme樂隊應該算是80年代末期所湧現的一大批重金屬樂隊中最出色的一支了。其實，他們的風格不應僅僅被侷限於重金屬，Rap, Folk, Jazz, Blues等都有涉獵，他們的每張專輯都是高水準之作，特別是樂隊吉他手 Nuno Bettencourt 出色的表現，他是樂隊的核心人物，樂隊的專輯絕大多數都是他獨立製作完成的。他的演奏繼承了 Eddie Van Halen 華麗、多變的風格。Nuno Bettencout和他帶領的 Extreme樂隊，的確是重金屬中的“紳士”，乾淨和跳躍，是 Nuno Bettencout 的最大特點和優點。就音樂來説，Extreme 是乾乾淨淨，心平氣和的，以吉他為主，通過旋律和技巧來表現，已經脱離了單純的憤怒宣泄。在重金屬音樂極為不景氣的1995年，Extreme 仍然我行我素，在 1995 年推出了一張更為自我的專輯《Waiting for the Punchline》，一反前幾張專輯的雄心勃勃與精製，新專輯是本着反樸歸真的精神完成的，甚至製作時也未作任何 EQ 和 Reverb 混音處理，此時樂隊的鼓手已換為 Mike Mangini。
