I guess that song is okay-ish, kind of. But why are they still together and recording? The debut was terrible and this is sadly just a project that needed to vanish quietly. That said, no ill feelings towards the guys and good luck to them. I hope this album is a lot better than the debut, though I'm not sure I'll listen to find out. This song does sound better than anything I recall off the debut, though.

What Geoffrey said. Quit this, and put your focus back into Extreme. Dammit.

[Mullethead]

I didn't mind the first one and sounded a lot like newer Extreme. But of course, I'd take Extreme over them any day.

[KarpetRydOFunk]

To be honest, I didn't even listen to it. Most people trashed it so bad, I didn't bother.

If you liked Extreme's last album (I loved it) then you won't mind it at all.

Really? Then I should give it a try.

I say Extreme's last is much better than Hurtsmile

It is better for sure, but they don't sound that much different. I wish Extreme would quit fucking around and put out a new cd. Not to mention all their demo's from before they got signed are out there. I'd love to have a mastered version of those.

And how are we playing this? Are we acknowledging that Extreme's last album was the equivalent of dying via method of crushed testicles, or are we pretending it was okay? Because for me, it was terrible beyond horrors, and yes, Hurtsmile was even worse. Very ugly situation all round.

Their last studio album ranks in the top 2 or 3 for me. I actually only disliked maybe one track.

haha that's too much bro, well for me that album stood around 68-70% and not really that terrible but Hurtsmile yeah probably way below 50%

[Geoff]

Yeah, don't mind me too much. I like Extreme's first two albums, though neither of them reside in my collection as I sold both of them. So even in their prime they didn't really do that much for me. Everything since, though, has been a f*cking nightmare for me. To suggest that 'III' might be the best post 'Porno' disc they ever recorded... wow.I just hope they don't use that as a compliment.

[Wardy]

Divided opinions. Personally thought both the debut Hurtsmile and last Extreme were pretty equal, so would look forward to either releasing new material in this case Hurtsmile wins. Kinda recognize the aquired taste clause but gets my vote.

 

Can't wait!

Of fuck, that is dreadful. I think I will, without hesitation, take Russ' word on this one and not even think about giving it ear time. Seriously, that is soooooo bad.
