Hinder
Extreme Behaviour
(Universal)
Is it wrong to consult the back of a CD, see a picture of the band and still not know what kind of music you’re about to listen to? This is the case with Hinder and their debut Extreme Behaviour. From the scantily clad groupie on the cover, poring over photos of the band, to the Nickelback homage of the album itself and the generic band photo, it might scream “extreme” if you are 12 years old. (Maybe.) In the band’s biography, lead singer Austin Winkler cites Steven Tyler, Vince Neil and Josh Todd of Buckcherry as influences but succeeds in sounding more like Chad Kroeger than anybody. Hinder brings nothing new to the table. The biggest compliment we can offer is that this album is slightly more palatable than Jamie Foxx’s debut.

I’m extremely disappointed in this and the Jamie Foxx review! I don’t know how many times I read it, and just the lack of actual information, and true information you gave made me want to hit you over the head with a sledge hammer!This CD, trust me I’m no fan of, but it is NOT his debut album. It is his debut on this label, but not his debut. He previously released an album during his stint on his Sitcom “The Jamie Foxx Show” in 1995 call Peep This (see here on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_Foxx). Also there was a limited edition soundtrack from Ray which feature two CD’s, one of the original versions of the song, the second was Jamie Foxx performing them, with his own take.Second of all your grammar, plus through-out the publishing disgusts me! In two issues I’ve gone through three red markers…I love the publishing…but you all need to get your act in gear if you want readers to actually read the WHOLE publish and actually understand what your saying.
