Hinder - Extreme Behavior (20th Anniversary) [Blackberry] Vinyl Record

It's been 20 years since Hinder's major label debut Extreme Behavior was released, and we're still not sure the music industry has recovered.

Seldom have commercial and critical success been poles apart to this degree; this record went TRIPLE platinum and scored, what, four major hit singles (more if you count the international charts)?! Yet, critical scorn was unrelenting, one reviewer commenting Hinder "appeal not to fans of music, but fans of high fives."

Which is pretty funny... but this Oklahoma City band laughed all the way to the bank, as songs like "Get Stoned," "Lips of an Angel" (#3 on the Hot 100), "How Long," and "Better Than Me" were worldwide hits. Part of this was due to the undeniable charisma of lead vocalist Austin John Winkler; producer Brian Howes also deserves credit for co-writing the songs. But a big part of Hinder's allure (aside from the fetching cover photo taken straight from the cover of the book How to Tell a Naked Man What to Do: Sex Advice from a Woman Who Knows) was the band's devil-may-care attitude.

Fans of Jackass found their party-hearty soundtrack right here; Extreme Behavior is good, unclean fun. Remastered for it's first-ever vinyl reissue on it's 20th birthday by Mike Milchner from Sonic Vision.
