What?
Seriously, if you like Cheap Trick, check out this 3rd release Heaven Tonight. What? Other listener's rate this album as 3-4 stars. It's a killer follow-up to the sophmore-set In Color. Along with their 4th release Dream Police, Heaven Tonight represents Cheap Trick in their finest and most rocking hour. It was all down-hill after that. Trust me! .


Dated, and not well
Cheap Trick (CT) were power pop masters, the price is good, and the 2 bonus tracks don't hurt. 20 years ago I would have rated this higher, and there is still a lot to like here. However lyrics and vocals were always their downfall. Too often they had their tongue in their check, or at least acted like they did. They just could not commit to giving their all to a performance. The vocals always sound like he is holding a little back for fear you won't like it.

Surrender still rocks, but you can play it on your kid's guitar hero. The rest is good, sometimes very good, but overall it sounds like they don't care, and therefore, neither do you. The price is so good, you are not really getting ripped off if you buy it, but I don't think you will get a lot of repeated play from this.

Great Band, Great Music, ok CD
Contains many solid tunes.
One of Cheap Trick's best albums.

However, Amazon did not send me the advertised disc. I received the remastered version with two bonus tracks. Sad to say, but this disc is yet another victim of the loudness wars. Not only has the dynamic range been compressed, but there are peaks that have been clipped at 0dbFS. Inexcusable. I have seen worse though.

I was hoping to get a decent copy as the disc shown does not say "remastered".
