Description

Extreme’s best recording displays this band’s considerable talents to their best advantage, particularly those of guitarist Nuno Bettencourt and vocalist Gary Cherone. The album’s success has mainly been due to the soft-spoken hits More Than Words, which gave the band massive international radio play and it reached the coveted number 1 slot in the American single, and Hole Hearted, but there’s plenty to like on this album, which explores the very general theme of love in a cynical world. Extreme had a lot on their minds when they recorded Pornograffitti, as evidenced by the songs Decadence Dance, When I’m President and Money (In God We Trust). Aside from the aforementioned ballads and the loungey When I First Kissed You, this album rocks out, examining serious themes with considerable humor, which prevents Extreme from ever sounding preachy or condescending. Guest performances from Pat Travers and Dweezil Zappa), essentially a concept album sub- titled ‘A Funked Up Fairy Tale’
