Title: Good, solid album
Product review: I was hesitant to purchase this album. I hadn't even heard of it until recently going through the Cheap Trick discography on Wikipedia. But at a $5 price tag (with a DVD!) it was too good a deal to pass up. Boy, was I surprised. Does it rank up there with classics like 'Heaven Tonight' or 'One On One'? No. But it's really good. Yes, a little heavy on the ballad side, but Cheap Trick are one of very few rock bands that do ballads well, without all the shmaltz and cheesiness that most bands seem to produce when they slow things down. Bottom line, Cheap Trick write and record very good songs. Catchy songs. Hummable tunes. Things you remember. They are not amateurs. They are not hacks. They've been doing this a long time and are very good at it. And this is a very good album. I'm actually a little dismayed that it's so obscure, but then again, it's nice to find gems like these once in a while. A good, solid album. Highly recommended.
