<description>Extreme - III Sides To Every Story

Didn't care for it at all, either on release or at numerous tries through the years.
Listened again and it clicked, in a big way. Love it.</description><link>http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,922178,922178#msg-922178</link><lastBuildDate>Thu, 23 May 2013 11:37:26 +1000</lastBuildDate>

Something about the tunes never quite ckicked for me,either. Tried getting into the 'great' Strength a couple times--left me cold.

Aside from crap production on numerous discs, there isn't a single CD of theirs I don't love. Alright, I don't love Animals With Human Intelligence. As you said, Rocknut, there's a very dark side to Donnie Vie's lyrics. Most of Tweaked is VERY dark. &quot;Mr. JOnes&quot;, anyone?]]></description>

Always intended to revisit that one so certainly will be ears wide open ;) Strength however has had a lasting effect, many of the lyrics still impact (The World Is A Gutter) and bravo to them for what is one of the finest MR with splashes of AOR and Glam that ever was! Seriously still rate that record a 9 minimum and what makes it more-so is the fact I could not fathom them back when introduced. Honestly hated that Mother's video and the fact I didn't like the lipstick era makes the fact I fell so in love with the record that much more amazing LOL]]></description>

Sure, it's a little lightweight [due to the crappy production], but if you scratch that surface then you're into another world entirely.<br /><br />That's what I adore about those first 3 Enuff.. albums. If you're not prepared to invest the time and thought needed then they are lightweight and throwaway. But the band had/have this steely dark side that is always there, if you care to look hard enough. There's so much going on beneath the lip gloss and big hair. Lyrically they are supercharged.<br /><br />Plus - even after al these years, New Thing still gives me shivers. Amazing band.]]></description>

Sure not the Queen-like brilliance off III nor the fun that was Porno, but for a dark brooding stab at the 'scene' that was at the time look no further. Many of its lyrics reach right down very revealing. Not instant and never rocking often enough, and taking nothing away from the brilliance that came before, but some great tunes tucked away on that one including my personal fave; CYNICAL, a badass Extreme tune if there ever was one ;)<br /><br />OT; It took me years to move past the horrid MothersEyes but finally EnuffZNuff's Strength revealed its greatness to me and was a fan ever since. Even dug MothersEyes eventually (still not fond of the debut mind, too sugary still but Strength and everything after, count me in ;)]]></description>

Despite the voiceover, the backing music is sublime. It's an odd album for sure and the kind of album the the term &quot;grower&quot; was designed for.<br /><br />So many good tracks that aren't your typical single worthy effort. Peacemaker Die, Colour me Blind, Politicalamity, and as mentioned, the third side, The Truth 3 tracks (everything under the sun)...utterly stunning both musically, lyrically &amp; huge in their ambition.]]></description>

I absolutely LOVE this album. I remember buying it on release day and I thought Nuno's playing isn't as good as it was on Porno. But man, the songs are incredible. I still get chills listening to the interlude of 'Peacemaker Die' with the MLK voice over. And 'Don't Leave Me Alone', only available on the cassette version, is just immense.<br /><br />It really all came together for the band on this one.]]></description>

There's no accounting for taste:)<br /><br />Also, I've seen people here say the only good song on Slang is the title track - which I think is abysmal.<br /><br />The whole sound of Slang (the album) is excellent.
