Cheap Trick: Rockford CD Track Listing
Cheap Trick
Rockford (2006)
Originally Released June 6, 2006\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: Cheap Trick's recorded work has been so inconsistent \nfor so long, bouncing back and forth between belabored attempts to reach \nradio and self-conscious returns to their classic early work, it's kind \nof a shock to discover that 2006's Rockford is a good, solid Cheap Trick \nrecord. Scratch that -- it's a very, very good Cheap Trick record, glistening \nwith Beatlesque harmonies, sugary hooks and snarling guitars, and built \non a set of songs that emphasize their strengths without seeming fussy \nor formulaic. They also don't seem tired or juvenile, either, nor do the \nband try to rock too hard or heavy, the way they did on the good but occasionally \nstilted Steve Albini-produced 1996 self-styled comeback, Cheap Trick. \nAlbini is back for portions of Rockford, as is Jack Douglas, the producer \nbehind their early masterworks, and 2000 rock's flavor of the month Linda \nPerry drops by for a single too -- but far from being a case of too many \ncooks spoiling the soup, it's more that each producer/engineer/collaborator \nhelps bring out a different aspect of Cheap Trick. Sure there are songs \nthat serve up crunching hard rock along with a little bit of streamlined \narena rock, but there are pop songs built upon the British Invasion, bittersweet \nballads, even a little bit of disco-funk on "One More." When all these \ndifferent sounds are put together, it does indeed add up to the most diverse \nalbum they've made in many a moon, but since there's such a strong emphasis \non melody, vocal harmonies, and guitar hooks, all wrapped up in three-minute \nsongs, it also winds up as Cheap Trick's first genuine power pop album \nsince their heyday, and
This rock cd contains 12 tracks and runs 41min 22sec.
