Waiting For The Punchline

Waiting for the Punchline is the fourth album by American band Extreme, released in 1995. It is known by fans as a distinctively raw-sounding record with a significant influence from grunge, especially when compared to the big production of the two previous albums. Due to its lyrics focused heavily on social matters it is often cited as a concept album. It is also the only Extreme record to feature drummer Mike Mangini. It is also the band's last album before their eleven-year hiatus, which lasted from 1996 to 2007. After the album's tour, Extreme disbanded when Bettencourt informed the band that he was leaving to pursue a solo career. After the breakup, singer Gary Cherone joined Van Halen in 1996 as their new singer, but left three years later.
