Hinder . It was released in 2005 to almost universally negative reviews, before going platinum in September 2006. All songs were co-written by Brian Howes. "Shoulda" was co-written withBrian Howes andSocial Code . The song "Running in the Rain" did not make the cut for the album but has been played at concerts on their North American tour. 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", byCandida Royalle , except, on the book, the model's lingerie is black. 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.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" and is currently being 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 2,640,579 copies in the US. [ [http://www.ukmix.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=46325 Billboard Top 200] ] .

It was regarded as one of the worst albums of 2005 by
Allmusic (1 and a half out of 5 stars). According toAllmusic , "Hinder is all about big rock, the kind of stuff that's happily ignorant of common courtesy or trying much of anything new musically." Also that, "Hinder are so egregiously dull they appeal not to fans of music, but fans of high fives." None of this bad press has stopped sales or the album's large popularity.Track listing
