Title: The album you knew they could make
Review: Sometimes the cut-out bin yields treasure. Cheap trick deftly integrates their roots (Beatles and Who) with their own strong pop chops. The album starts with the most generic song in the collection ("Anytime"), but quickly gets on track with "Hard To Tell", and then the incredible "Carnival Game". Robin Zander's howl is a dead ringer for Roger Daltrey's on "Eight Miles Low".This album rocks to hard to easily fit into the "power pop" category, yet it is too melodic and hook laden to sit comfortably in the "hard rock" bin. So forget the labels and treat yourself to an album by a band that has finally regained their composure after too many years of being lead around by the nose by some big label A&R man.My only complaint about this album is it's too short!
