If Extreme is �More Than Words� to you, you might want to decamp this book. On their first album in 13 years, the reunited locals continue their Sisyphean job of disowning the bequest of their cheesy, mega make-out hit with some tough sway. There�s the heavy �Comfortably Dumb� (more Red Hot Chili Peppers then Warrant, the tune shows the band�s finally getting at ease doing funky stuff), the high-harmony driven, Queen-ish �Star,� and one breakneck, chicken pickin�, metallic hoedown, �Take Us Alive.� The ballads remain, most notably the Coldplay-like �Ghost,� but none are as polarizing, corny or catchy as �More Than Words.� Download: �Take Us Alive.�
