Nuno Rocks. Aug 30, 2008 If you liked Extreme, the artist that dominated that sound was Nuno Bettencourt. The songs on this album are less polished but for Nuno that can be a good thing. You get to hear it raw, and hearing is believing.
Get all the albums Oct 15, 2007 All of the songs on this are solid. If You like these songs I suggest You get all of his albums since the breakup of Extreme. I was bummed when Extreme broke up. But 11 years, 5 albums and 1 ep later, I can't get enough from Nuno. I don't think any album will ever be better then his work on 3 Sides To Every Story but I think his solo work is better quality than the other Extreme albums. He also does very well with vocals. The only problem You may have obtaining his past work is the ep Sessions From Room 4. As far as I know its out of print now and there didn't appear to be many available either. For me as a fan he has been very consistant in putting out new material within 2 years rather than the waiting many years like other bands. Its also no doubt to me that his work is above and beyond anyone in the late 90's/2000's. Very creative!
The thing about Nuno's work is it usually takes me a few listens to get used to the album but then after that I can't stop playing the album.
As for this greatest...Its a bit over priced but it does have solid songs. For me being a huge fan of him its just to difficult to put together a greatest, especially since there is more to come from this guy. He is far from finished.
My favorites from this album is Air That You Breath, Flow, and Swollen Princess. Again, the others are great as well.
Find this used to save a some dollars but either way its a solid purchase!!!

I don't think this is the Best of Nuno. Nov 07, 2006 Nuno is one of the world's finest guitarist and I love his style; however, I don't think this release exhibits much of his guitar flash that I find in his other work. In short, if you're looking for his shred work on guitar, this isn't his best. It may be considered his best in other ways, I suppose.
For those who don't now this genius Nov 06, 2006 Ok .. let me say first that everything the guy makes sounds perfect to me (except for some of the extreme albums). Nuno, Mourning Widows, Population 1, Dramagods ... time and again he succeeds in making fresh straight forward rock music .. beautiful melodies and ... man, can he play guitar. So .. this best of is a wonderful compilation of some of the pieces of art he created. Wanna hear it all? Buy the rest as well! I wonder when radiostations in Europe are going to realise that they are missing something big here !!!!! Oh yeah .., Nuno .. you forgot about my birthday but a new album for X-mas would surely make it up ;)

The best gift ever! Jul 16, 2006 My boyfriend is a huge Nuno fan and I was unable to find any Nuno in San Diego. I went on Amazon and not only found Nuno but also was able to find Dramagods, his new band, and they came all the way from Japan. I haven't givin the cd's to him yet because they are for his b-day in 2 weeks but I know these are going to be the best gifts ever!
Not finding what you're looking for??
Not to worry, you can also search Amazon from right here at The Savvant Store, and we'll still be paid a referral fee, and you know Amazon has everyhing!
