Cheap Trick`s newest CD - " Rockford "
Don`t always know what to expect from Cheap Trick. Pleasantly surprised by the cd. I personally would not have led the cd off with "welcome to my world". Didn`t really care for that song. The song "One more" would have been a good start to kick off the cd. Overall the cd has some good up beat songs like "Give it away " - "If it takes a lifetime" - "Perfect stranger" - "Every night and every day" and the song " Come on come come" which I really liked. Overall - the cd was pretty good and worth a listen. Cheap Trick fans will like this cd and probably others who haven`t heard Cheap Trick.


Cheap Trick - The Old Guys Can Still Rock
After the rather bland "Special One" three years earlier "Rockford" was a nice return to form. The title of this album refers to the band's hometown of Rockford Illinois. This album garnered high praise from the music press and although I don't think it quite lives up to the hype it is a very nice album from the veteran band. "Welcome To The World", "If It Takes A Lifetime", "Come On Come On", "O Claire", and "All Those Years" are all great songs. The rest of the album is pretty solid as well, although for latter day Cheap Trick I don't think this one quite stacks up against the self titled "Cheap Trick" album from 1997. Overall though "Rockford" is a very good Cheap Trick album and a big improvement over the band's last outing "Special One". These old guys can still sound fresh and they can rock as hard as ever. .


It made me a fan!


I really really liked it and soon bought their first four albums, a Greatest Hits and At Budokan. I bought Rockford on somewhat of a whim after seeing them perform "Perfect Stranger" on Conan O'Brien's show and then noticing that I could pick up this new album for a mere $9 at the local Wal-Mart.

I don't know how their music fared in the 80's and 90's (though I'm told its not so hot), but this album sounds just as good to these ears as those great albums from the 70's. Plenty of loud guitars, good melodies, and a ton of energy (these guys sound way more vibrant than most bands 30 years into their career). Plus, unlike some of those overly-glossy 70's albums, Rockfords production really lets the band kick it loud and proud.

Fans should be happy with these catchy loud rock songs, and folks new to Cheap Trick will probably find this album to be so good that they just might want more (I know I did!).


Totally underrated
Better accolades were deserved. I admit to having a bias in favor of the boys from Rockford but this is really a tremendous effort.


Best rock-n-roll band ever!
I'm buying "Rockford" and "Budokan the complete concert". This is the album we have been waiting for. I should have done this 2 years ago. I have rediscovered Cheap Trick. I was a huge fan when I was 13 back in 78. I saw them live at the Sunken Garden's show in San Antonio back in 79. . . . it was simply the best concert I have ever seen to this day. I then saw them on the Dream Police tour(w/out Tom P. ). I have become highly disillusioned when it comes to the current music scene. The "American Idolization" of the biz has made it a joke. Cheap Trick has managed to survive and thrive in this mess. All of today's young power pop/punk bands owe it all to Cheap Trick. I prefer to listen to the original!!!! Thanks guys. . . . keep it up!.
