Title: let's be honest
Product review: Cheap Trick are my all-time favorite band, but let's be honest. They ARE still the greatest live band around, a joy to behold, but the music that lives in our hearts, the reason we keep going back again and again, is for Cheap Trick circa 1976 to roughly 1982. Go back, listen to any of the first five albums and then listen with honest, open ears to this new so-called "Cheap Trick" album. Apart from Robin's voice, you can't even tell its Cheap Trick at all, there's just nothing going on here that sticks to the ribs. Whenever a longtime favorite artist releases a new album, be it the Stones or whoever, there is such fan joy that your heroes are making ANY new music at all, there is a tendency for hardcore fans to praise a really lame, forgettable record. This one is gonna clog up the used and cut-out bins just like every CT release since at least The Doctor. Get it soon for $... just like Woke Up with a Monster and the 1997 self-titled CD....
