The record takes off with a philosophic song Star warning us that one should not always be glad when the dreams come true, whereas composition Comfortably Dumb, classic rock in its best variant, pleases with the resemblance with Led Zeppelin both in the respect of vocals and the instruments sounding.
Vocal harmonies and splendid guitar solos on Saudades De RockĮxtreme has been always famous for its vocal harmonies, splendid guitar solos and a drummer's expressive work, and all that is present in excess on Saudades De Rock. To the fans' indescribable excitement this summer, 13 years after the release of the last work a new album Saudades De Rock (approximately translated from Portuguese as Nostalgia for Rock) sees the light of the day and takes us back to those times when Extreme's most successful album Pornograffitti was released. At the beginning of the new millennium they would gather together several times to perform with short tours and finally last year the front men Gary Cherone and Nuno Bettencourt announced that Extreme was working on a new material.
The fourth album, 1995's Waiting for the Punchline, did not justify the hopes the guys had had about it and the collective broke up soon although the members retained friendly relations. Yet the band’s destiny turned out to be not that cloudless as one could guess in its best years. Its music included the most varied styles from penetrating glam rock to a soft acoustic, and its most well-known hit was ballad More Than Words, performed with an accompaniment of solely two acoustic guitars. Extreme was one of the most eccentric, popular and successful rock bands at the end of the 80's – beginning of the 90's.
