"Perplexed In The Extreme" is the third full-length release by Emerald Rain, including "You," "Open Up Your Eyes," and "Numb."Japanese version includes a bonus track.
The third (studio) offering from Emerald Rain, and the third winner. With a new drummer, veteran of Canadian hard rock scene Randy Cooke, the band moves forward on the path they have followed from the start.
The comparisons to Harem Scarem won't disappear with this album I'm afraid, but while the previous albums were compared to "Mood Swings", I'd say that a few of these songs (opener "You" for example) are closer to the latter HS albums, such as "Big Bang Theory". Other influences are audible as well - take the Dokken/Lynch Mob-like "Badlands" for instance.
Songwise, this album might not be as good as the previous effort "Age Of Innocence", but fear not, there are more than a few good songs here. My favourites are probably the most melodic ones, such as "Open Up Your Eyes", "You Do It To Yourself", "Just Like Anyone" and "Is This Love", all boasting bigger-than-life choruses. Sure, a few of the other tracks sound a bit boring next to the aforementioned melodic blasts, but all in all, I think this a solid effort. ~ Review by Kimmo Toivonen
