Music review: Cheap Trick – 无毛视频業n Another World无毛视频�
My unyielding appreciation for Cheap Trick originated back in 1978 after purchasing a vinyl copy of 无毛视频淗eaven Tonight.无毛视频�
The Illinois quartet无毛视频檚 third studio effort was a stunning example of infectious power pop mixed with a rousing rush of hard rock at its finest with tracks like 无毛视频淪urrender,无毛视频� 无毛视频淐alifornia Man无毛视频� and 无毛视频淪tiff Competition.无毛视频�
Over the years, I无毛视频檝e collected every album released by the band as well as attended over 30 Cheap Trick live performances. To say I get excited when the band cranks out new material is an understatement.
无毛视频淚n Another World无毛视频� is the band无毛视频檚 20th studio release with the rockers vibrantly recapturing the signature sound that brought us classic radio-friendly arrangements like 无毛视频淏ig Eyes,无毛视频� 无毛视频淒ream Police,无毛视频� 无毛视频淰oices无毛视频� and 无毛视频淚 Want You to Want Me.无毛视频�
无毛视频淗ere comes the summer/The summer looks good on you,无毛视频� announces Robin Zander on the album opener that provides the perfect introduction to better days ahead and the anticipation of feeling the warmth of the sun once again. The 68-year-old singer proves he无毛视频檚 still one of rock无毛视频檚 best vocalists by delivering yet another impeccable performance.
无毛视频淏oys & Girls & Rock N Roll无毛视频� is easily one of the best tracks showcased on the album. Fueled by an overabundance of unbridled exuberance, the number seems like a suitable companion piece to 无毛视频淪urrender无毛视频� with Zander proclaiming, 无毛视频淭ake it easy/It无毛视频檚 only rock 无毛视频榥无毛视频� roll.无毛视频�
The Beatlesque 无毛视频淨uit Waking Me Up无毛视频� is a stylish number that speaks to the one special girl you simply can无毛视频檛 get out of your head as Zander declares, 无毛视频淵ou无毛视频檙e winding me up and I无毛视频檝e fallen in love.无毛视频�
无毛视频淟ight Up the Fire无毛视频� smolders under the skillful guidance of Rick Nielsen无毛视频檚 distinct guitar riffs, Tom Petersson无毛视频檚 absorbing 12-string bass, Daxx Nielsen无毛视频檚 controlled drumming and Zander无毛视频檚 stirring vocals. This one is a perfect fit alongside any of the band无毛视频檚 previous hits and is sure to be a concert favorite.
The set closes with a biting cover of John Lennon无毛视频檚 无毛视频淕imme Some Truth无毛视频� with assistance from guitarist Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols. The lyrics hit like a ton of bricks when you discover things really haven无毛视频檛 changed over the years as Zander sings, 无毛视频淚无毛视频檓 sick and tired of hearing things/From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocrites/All I want is the truth/Just gimme some truth.无毛视频�
In the end, Cheap Trick delivers the undeniable truth that you can无毛视频檛 stop rock 无毛视频榥无毛视频� roll.
