Release

The first single (and the song that brought attention to the band) was "Get Stoned". The album also contains Hinder's breakthrough single, "Lips of an Angel" which soared to #1 on the pop charts in 2006. The album's third single was "How Long", which was played on rock stations throughout the US. "Better Than Me" is the fourth single on Extreme Behavior. As of July 11, 2007, the album has sold 2,789,275 copies in the US. Despite not being released as a single, the song "By the Way" also had received airplay from several radio stations. [1]

Cover

The cover art is nearly identical to the cover art of the book How to Tell a Naked Man What to Do: Sex Advice from a Woman Who Knows by Candida Royalle; the only difference is on the book, the model is wearing black lingerie. One of the cover pictures has been altered and the pictures in front of the model have been altered to include the members of Hinder. The alternative album cover has been used in conservative markets like the Philippines and the Middle East. The woman on the front of the original cover is not actress Katherine Heigl, despite common assertion. [2]

Critical reviews of the album were mixed to negative. Extreme Behavior was, according to AllMusic, one of the worst albums of 2005; it was rated two out of five stars. In its review of the album, reviewer Johnny Loftus said that "Hinder are so egregiously dull they appeal not to fans of music, but fans of high fives." [3]
