How goes the Extreme remakeover?

A couple of years back, we hid our face from the news that Extreme were getting back together.

We've heard very little since, but apparently they're still huffing about, with a new record being lined up. Apparently it's going to be different, says Nuno Bettencourt:

Even though we wanted to do something for years, we had to have something new to offer," he told BostonHerald.com. "In the last six months we started writing some great songs. If they weren't, we wouldn't be doing this."

Well, great songs would mark a major departure from the ones they wrote during their first wind.
