Title NoteFollowing two short-lived live reunions in 2004 and 2006, Extreme reconvened for real in 2007, which inevitably led to the release of SAUDADES DE ROCK. Core members Gary Cherone (vocals), Pat Badger (bass), and Nuno Bettencourt (guitar) are joined by former DramaGods/Satellite Party drummer Kevin Figueiredo (who built a grooving kinship with Nuno in both aforementioned bands). In many ways SAUDADES picks up right where 1995's WAITING FOR THE PUNCHLINE left off. Like the previous album, the new material boasts a raw, live-in-the-studio vibe. Fans familiar with Extreme's instrumental muscle and genre-jumping style can expect plenty of diversity here--from the requisite funk metal ("Run," "Comfortable Dumb") to countrified rock ("Take Us Alive") to more gentle, piano-driven ballads ("Ghost," "Peace").

Van Halen greatest hits extreme- extreme Extremes Latest Has Led Zeppelin Written All Over It!, August 14, 2008
By B.C.
First off I cant believe how good this cd is. What a breath of fresh air after
hearing all the mediocre music thats so over hyped. This is so Led Zeppelin its
uncanny. Nuno Bettencourts incredible guitar licks have that Jimmy Page spark.
And Gary Cherones vocals are at times very Robert Plant. This is their best cd
in eighteen years. Dont pass this one up.
Great Album, August 12, 2008
By Bob
This is a great album. It is the best album I have heard in years. As the
earlier comment said, it is too bad Extreme does not get the publicity they
deserve. The album is musically tight and very diverse. Every song is good. I
hope it gets some air play...
Finally something worth buying, August 12, 2008
By Don
I have not bought an album in several years that is as good as this. From start
to finish this album is brilliant. It is the best of both worlds from a band
that unfortunately does not get enough publicity. I would say it is a perfect
blend of classic hard grooving rock mixed with fantastic lyrics and feel. It is
just a perfect mix of great musicianship and raw edge. Nuno Bettencourt and Gary
Cherone have an ability to write some pretty awesome music. I wish it wouldnt
have taken 12 or so years to get them back together...
