Guitarist Nuno Bettencourt and singer Gary Cherone built it around three sections, titled Yours, Mine and The Truth, moving from hard-hitting rock through more personal material to an orchestral finale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe opening section comes out swinging. \"Rest in Peace\" is muscular, funk-flecked hard rock, Bettencourt's riffs as nimble and showy as ever, and the band sounds hungry to prove there was far more to them than a campfire singalong. Later, \"Tragic Comic\" brings a light, whimsical acoustic charm that recalls their best-known hit without copying it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe final section, a suite called Everything Under the Sun, is where the ambition really shows. \"Rise n' Shine\" and \"Am I Ever Gonna Change\" stretch out with sweeping strings and dramatic dynamics, closer to Queen-sized theater than Boston bar rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's an album that rewards patient listening, and it has grown in stature with every passing year. On heavy vinyl, its shifts from crunch to grandeur land with real weight.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57439072682289,"sku":"8719262031241","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Extreme-III_Sides_To_Every_Story_2LP_Holland_Import.jpg?v=1794152084","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/extreme-iii-sides-to-every-story-2lp-holland-import","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
