Extreme--Extreme (1989)

Fantastic debut album by Extreme.Extreme shows its first signs of true creativeness on this debut. It sounds like the perfect "child" of Van Halen but funkier without loosing their own sound. The new guitar "wizard" Nuno Bettencourt shows some incredible skills with some high-tech guitar riffs and solos!!!The whole result is a funk-hair metal disc with some strong songs with rolling beats and prepare us for the huge Pornograffitti album!A number of highlights, including the cutting riffs of "Mutha" and "Flesh N' Blood". Check out the slow but chunky groove to "Kid Ego" ,"Play With Me" closes things out in fast and fun fashion. A great debut album.8,5/10
TRACK LIST: Little Girls/Wind Me Up/Kid Ego/Watching, Waiting/Mutha (Don't Wanna Go To School Today)/Teacher's Pet/ Big Boys Don't Cry/Smoke Signals/Flesh N' Blood/Rock a Bye Bye/Play With Me
