Extreme - III Sides To Every Story

From start to finish, this is an undoubtedly ambitious concept album which, if not immediately successful, was for Extreme a career-defining piece of work. Split into three parts, the album explores and covers a lot of musical ground. The first part has the most in common with Extreme's earlier material (but is still very reliable given the band's hard-working musical ethic), the mid-section is experimental and proves Bettencourt is more than just a talented guitarist, and the last three songs verge on progressive rock territory. It's a big album to take in, and will require more than one listen to enhance the whole experience, but is certainly a rewarding listen by the end.

This album is their best work, very good and quite inspired and a competent performance.

Superb masterpiece

Probably their best album. True to their original style, but at the same time taking risks here and there, with a really interesting concept and some progressive rock moments. "Rest In Peace", "Cupid´s Dead", "Tragic Comic", "Stop The World" and "Color Me Blind" are my favourites, but the whole álbum is excellent.

It's been a while since i gave this a listen, I will try and find some time for it.
