"The Best Of Extreme: An Accidental Collication Of Atoms?" was the first of "The Best Of's" albums by Extreme. After the lack of success of Waiting for the Punchline, the band subsequently disbanded.

In 1997, Gary Cherone joined with Van Halen for their album called Van Halen III, issued in 1998, only to leave the group in 1999 and later form Tribe of Judah, which released an album called Exit Elvis in 2002.

Nuno Bettencourt went on to release a solo album titled Schizophonic in 1996. Then formed a group called Mourning Widows and released a self titled album in 1998 and then the follow up album Furnished Souls For Rent in 2000. His group called The Dramagods (aka Population 1) have had two albums released, the first being a self titled album Population 1 in 2002 before a name change to Dramagods saw them create their follow up Love in 2005.

Extreme reformed for a short tour in 2004, playing in their hometown Boston at the WAAF anniversary and a few concerts in Japan. After no activity at all in most of 2005, the band returned in 2006 – with the "classic" Pornograffitti line-up – to do a small three-show reunion tour in New England.

On November 26, 2007, the band announced their plans for a world tour in Spring 2008 as well as a release date and label for the as yet untitled album, which is being produced by Bettencourt.
