Extreme - "The Mask" (Official Video)

[@cryptkicker71]

"I'll take the blame for all my sins, but I won't take the hate for what you imagine"...This song is incredible! (so is the entire album). Tried to get Nuno to play it at soundcheck. The rhythm is tight, the richness of Nuno's voice. Gary is off the charts. This has to be the Album of the Year. There literally are no bad songs. Hope they consider doing another tour of the US ASAP!🖤

"I'll take the blame for all my sins but won't take the hate for what you imagine" is one of the best lyrics I've heard in a long time. This is one of my favorites off the new album but it's a hard choice as all the songs are great.

The IRONY.

[@minmogrovingstrongandhealthy]

Can be contradicting easily. It's like that same so called sin can be a delusion and projection so as someone elses doing and not directly yours. For example I been fined and taxed for a property that I don't own, fined for "sins" that are not my own doing nor have any relation to me, I simply inherited it with other words forced upon me without my knowledge or any consent. All this costs time and money so as physical and psychical pain and torture that I will never be compensated for matter of fact even if I win, I still lose. Again time and money. For example even tho you win a court case you still have to pay for the court processing so as the lawyer's time etc. Then on top of that what I wrote above. This "law" legal extortion, projections and false problems was brought upon us by the western parasites and I am far beyond fed up with it all. Criminals roam freely while people like me who never committed a single crime in my life can easily be inprisoned or become homeless with a single slip up. I am sick and tired of bad and stupid people calling themselves victims while the innocent ones get the blame and being punished. It's 2023 and you would think we are far gone by this nazi regime but nope, war never ended, ever.

The people for whom this song is intended, will never hear it, unless their mother, walks down to the basement and forces them to listen to it. Or unless the government makes them listen to it as a condition for student loan forgiveness.

[@JDUBB2399]

Vocals are surprisingly good honestly.

[@rockerlee]

Nuno doesn’t get enough credit as a vocalist. He’s so versatile that his harmonies with Gary are always perfection, but he can do this cool “channeling Johnny Cash” sort of style like in the verses of this song. Is there anything musically he can’t do???

It took way too long for this album to be released. In an era that a lot of music is just repeating what others already have done, Extreme again delivers an album with just about only great songs which sounds only like Extreme. This is another great example. And a great video clip. A band of great musicians, matching each other at least musically. Great musicians. PLEASE don't wait another 15 years to release the next album.

@@och70 I bought it the day it came out. I was so disappointed that I sold it at a garage sales a few years later.

It now resides among 1200 others in a basement cabinet. Never to see the light of day again. I am a huge VH fan, but I do prefer the Hagar years, as I am a Sammy fan going back to Montrose ‘73.
