Well here we go, another Satch album but thankfully no singing! This album probably contains satch's best work to date, with 'surfing with the alien' following closely behind.
Joe starts this album off with a nice mellow and chillout song in FRIENDS (3.27) a very easy song to get you into the mood of the album. Joe delivers (yet again) a nice lead riff over a relaxing rhythm part. The solo Joe plays in this one is very bluesy and more melodic, rather than his usual super speedy solo's. Rating: 8/10
The Extremist (3.42) is the next track and the album title. Well what can you say? and absolutley amazing rhythm part played here with an astonishing lead played with the fantastic boogie groove and tone he always has. A very nice worked harmonica solo ties in with Joe's beautiful solo here, this track deserves the to be the title track. Rating: 10/10
War (5.46) is a wah infected anthem, it has a bit of a techno feel to it, and the leads are nicely orchestrated with that. There is a very nice use of chorus and doubling the guitar sound to create the illusion of more than 1 guitar. Satch loves his solo's and he goes off on a blistering one in this song, using his amazing legato technique and his trusty wah effectively. Rating: 10/10
Cryin' (5.42) is a slower song to cool down to after the blistering 'War'. It's a very emotional song as you can hear through Joe's guitar work. In this song you can really see how well Joe can show emotion through his guitar. Rating: 8/10
Rubina's Blue Sky Happiness (6.01) A nice country feel to this one, and a bit of a cheery song. Joe shows off another nice solo wich works well with the country style rhythm behind it. Rating: 7/10
Summer Song (4.52) Undoubedly the best song on this album, the whole funky feel is amazing and I guarantee you will love this song wether you are into Rock, Rap or Classical music! It's very easy to dance around to, with the solo giving it a rocky edge. This is one you'll want to show to your mates, because it really is a masterpiece. Rating: 10/10
Tears In The Rain (1.16) A nice acoustic ballad by Joe is nice to hear after his very technical guitar playing on the rest of the record. Rating: 8/10
Why (4.45) This one starts off a bit slowly with a nice rythym part, then in kicks another amazing lead from Satch! A really nice tune with you'll be repeating in your head for a while after, I can tell you! As you progress through the song theres a very short but amazing heavy lick Joe plays before the solo wich reminded me of Radiohead's 'Paranoid Android'. Rating: 9/10
Motocycle Driver (4.56) This is one of the heavier tunes on the album, a nice old school rock feel to it. It isnt as memorable as some of the other tracks, as Joe gets carried away with his solo's and it can be quite repetative, but still you should give it a good listen. Rating: 9/10
New Blues (6.55) As the name suggests this is one bluesy track! It's a nice traditionally slow blues to start with, then Joe's leads slowly build up to some amazing lead playing! The solo fits perfect with the track, as Joe delivers once again. This is an amazing finish to an amazing album. Rating: 9/10
