Best album (pt.2) - Extreme, III Sides To Every Story


After being labelled a "hard rock, metal, hair band" for songs like "Get The Funk Out" and "More Than Words", Extreme came up with their best album. This was definately a concept album.

The album is divided in three distinctive chapters properly named "Yours", "Mine" & "The Truth". extreme - iii sides to every story The first part focus on war issues, the second is more about day-to-day issues and problems (not always love related) and the final chapter is about life itself, our part in it and the existence of a superior entity named God by us.

Naturally, "Tragic Comic", "Our Father" and "Am I Ever Gonna Change" became instant favourites, soon followed by "Rest In Peace", "Stop The World" and "Cupid's Dead". And after that, glueing all the bits and pieces, I realized the whole album was already a favourite.

But more than being a favourite of mine, there is an immense amount of musical and lyrical quality in so many aspects. Adjectives are not the best tool for me to honour the album, so please hear it yourselves.

this portuguese fellow has a lot to do with the album's production

Nuno & Gary played the part once played by John & Paul... a unique combination of music and lyrics... am I repeating myself ?!

Go get the album.
Period.
