Extreme Behavior [PA] by Hinder (CD, Sep-2005, Universal Distribution)

I didn't really most of the songs Hinder's "Extreme Behavior" CD the first couple of times I listened to it. Heck, I didn't even like the first single "Get Stoned" the first time heard it on the radio.

I have to admit, the main reason I bought this CD was for the cover picture and because I'm a huge fan of their song "Lips Of An Angel" (I still play it frequently). It was also at a good price (about $6.99) at Target when I bought in April or May of 2006.

One reason I initially didn't like the CD is because I thought the songs were too simple. I even thought the lyrics to "Get Stoned" (and "How Long") were stupid.

Anyway, at the beginning of the summer of 2006, I put this CD in my car, and while driving I found myself singing along with a lot of the songs on the CD.

Perhaps the songs on this CD were made simple for reason, so that it would be easier for fans to sing/hum along to, and I think that's how you end up enjoying this CD.

Here's the track listing for "Extreme Behavior" (10 tracks in all)

1. Get Stoned
2. How Long
3. By The Way
4. Nothin' Good About Goodbye
5. Bliss (I Don't Wanna Know)
6. Better Than Me
7. Room 21
8. Lips Of An Angel
9. Homecoming Queen
10. Shoulda

My favorite songs are "Lips Of An Angel" and "By The Way."

I also like "Bliss (I Don't Wanna Know)," "Get Stoned" (I like it now), "Better Than Me," "Nothin' Good About Goodbye," and "Homecoming Queen," even though they tried too hard to make it sound like a hit.

The rest of the songs ("How Long," "Room 21," and Shoulda") are not bad, but also nothing special, even though they released "How Long" as a single.

While I don't like all ten tracks on this CD, I'm giving it a perfect 5 based on the amount of times I played this CD (and it was a lot).



By the way, to that guy who was stopped next to me at the red light last summer and heard my horrible voice singing "Bliss (I Don't Wanna Know)", I apologize.

Check out "take it to the limit" hinders 2nd cd !

After hearing a couple of Hinder's songs on the radio, I purchased the CD here on Ebay. I was pleasantly surprised to several great songs on the CD, and this is definitely a must have rock CD. Hinder will continue to top the charts with great songs like these, and I definitely recommend this CD. The CD is parental advisory....

Enjoy this awesome CD, and I'll definitely look for a follow up !

While I wouldn`t go so far to say this CD is a classic, Extreme Behavior is a very good CD nonetheless.
I suppose the comparisons to Nickleback are fair in that they have the same "rock with an attitude" style, but I wouldn't go so far as to say they are a clone. Tracks that really stand out are 'Get Stoned', 'How Long', and 'Bliss'. 'Lips of an Angel' is also a really good for a ballad.
If you are looking for that deep inner meaning to life in a CD, good luck with that. You won't find it with Hinder. But if you are looking for a great rock CD that you can listen to while having a good time, buy this CD and you won't be disappointed.

First of the lead singer Austin winkler is hot.The best song on this cd is nothin good about goodbye.lips of an angel i just fell in love with that song.I listen to this cd at least twice a day.Yes they kind of sound like Nickelback,but to me little more rock.Hnder will be around for a while.
