Extreme(ly) Disappointing.

This week I'm reviewing Extreme's "Beautiful Girls". I've always admired Extreme. They are supreme musicians and I count certain members of the band as friends, so it gives me no pleasure to say this; I do not like this. At all.

As the great American Comedy Central show Workaholics taught us, “only one fedora per crew.”

[@katskillz]

The song doesn't work. Two reasons I came up with: 1) No surprises in the songwriting. Every cliche is perfectly fit and predictable. It's like an algorithmic push for a Spotify list "Reggae Pop" 2) Mismatch in tone. When Gary sings in his upper register, the amount of breath and effort and vocal fry he uses completely destroys the vibe of the song. This is why they should leave it to Jack Johnson and his like, someone who can elevate the melodic line with a relaxing falsetto, or at least clean notes, to match the beach side vibe. Gary's scream-y voice is for hard rock or blues, but not this.

[@jotdewe]

[@krieng]

It's a sh**ty ballad comparing their previous ballads. Their new album "Six" is not that good, I don't like it except maybe "Banshee" which has a catchy riff. I liked their previous album "Saudades de Rock" which did not have as big hype as the new one but had better ballads such as "Ghost". They had so many great ballads "More than Words", "Song for Love", "Tragic Comic", "Unconditionally"... to name a few and comparing "Beautiful Girls" sounds like a cheesy joke to me.

[@dinadams]

[@absea7918]

Love your take on this. I hear a little Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da - especially in the bass line. Extreme has always had a wide range of songs - More Than Words as a prime example. As Nigel Tufnel wisely said.. "what's wrong with being Sexy?"

[@bigstew2000]

It's Extreme! They've ALWAYS done songs that were different (brilliantly, I might add). Defining them and judging them is silly. They're one of the few bands that love and play all kinds of music. Like it or not (I love it), Extreme is extreme. Not everyone gets it, and that's ok.

And outside of that album it definitely gets worse, and continues to get worse and worse over the years.

It's mostly a bland porridge song with crunchy nuggets of shit scattered through.

[@brianrossiter2547]

The album came out a year ago though?

[@ShawnOBrian]

This is one of those songs that many fans will hate but might actually have a chance of being popular. It's far from great, but it is fun. Extreme has always done varied musical styles. Some resonate, some don't. Hell, they even call out one of their previous divergences, "When I First Kissed You". And don't forget "Tragic Comic". They often have a song on their album that seems like them just having fun. I enjoy them. Not every song has to be heavy; not every song has to be a showcase of their talent. Their willingness to play a wide range of music is what keeps me coming back to them, much like it did for me with Queen as well.
