Cupid's Dead Apr 09, 2008 Some of you really think you're music critics don't you? Long winded reviews trying to impress us with your "knowledge". Plain & simple...this is a great album. Anything Nuno is involved with is worth having. One of the truly great guitarists. Cupid's Dead is worth the cd but there are many other tasty & meaningful tunes here. Buy this and Pornograffiti.

Mediocre Feb 02, 2008 Ugh. This wasn't that good when I bought it (before the internet, I made many such mistakes), and age hasn't improved it a bit.

Another Great Extreme CD Dec 01, 2007 I am a REALLY big Extreme fan. This CD is just as good as the other too. But for some reason lots of people hated this CD. I don't know why. I heard that this CD was the most returned CD of all time!!! Thats crazy this Album is great. Songs like "Warheads" and Rest In Peace" are great. If you are an Extreme fan like me I wouldent pass this CD up.

Extremely Misjudged? Sep 11, 2007 Extreme might have dug a huge hole for themselves, as did some other hair bands (Queensryce also comes to mind) of the 80's and early 90's by writing cheesy pop metal tunes and love ballads that found themselves on every FM radios rotation during the time. Really known for Hole-Hearted and More then Words, Extreme proves with "Three Sides to Every Story" that they can actually play intelligent and some progressive rock tunes. After a questionable debut, and a very pop orientated "Extreme II",(which was good, but it was more just silly pop rock sort of like some Kiss) "Three Sides" moves away from the cheese and gets down to some more intelligent and progressive rock. Its a good thing to, since Nuno is a great guitar player and vastly under-rated, and I have always loved Gary's vocal. Even though Extreme would fade into the sunset after one last effort after this, for the price of under 50 cents, its a good pickup for rock fans, espically if you are a fan of Van Halen or you like more modern progessive rock such as Dream Theater.

An Extreme (-ly bad) version of a Beatles Broadway musical May 27, 2007 Let's face it; Extreme was really nothing more than a hair metal band; concerned more with appearance than with art. In fact, they were of the second generation of hair metal bands, which means they were really nothing more than an imitation of a hair metal band. I know, they had an amazing guitarist, but so did Dokken, White Lion, Ratt, and many others. Having a talented guitarist clearly would not exclude them from the characterization. Nuno, after all, had the prettiest hair of any of them.
Maybe I'm not giving Extreme enough credit. But I do give them credit for what they attempted to do with this album. It sounds like they were trying for a metal-sounding Beatles Broadway musical, which is quite an ambitious undertaking! Frankly, they weren't good enough to pull it off.
The album does have some redeeming qualities. The tone of the guitar is superb, Nuno's abilities definitely shine, and there are a few memorable songs, such as Am I Ever Gonna Change and Rest in Peace. Most of the other songs, however, are less memorable and really without much significance. The drummer plays fairly well, but the bassist is only average and can't really even be heard, and the vocals are terrible. I've never been impressed with the quality of Gary Cherone's voice and it's no more impressive here. Most of the lyrics are pretentious, intentionally abstract (as abstract as a hair metal band can be, I suppose), and ridiculous.
There are few bands that can pull off anything close to what the Beatles did. And, with or without having heard this album, it'd be hard to believe any proclamation that Extreme was a band who could.
