Cheap Trick: Robin Zander (vocals); Rick Nielsen (guitar); Tom Petersson (12-string bass); Bun E. Carlos (drums). Recorded at One On One, North Hollywood, California, Sound Castle and A & M Studios, Los Angeles, California. This was Cheap Trick's comeback album after a commercially fallow period, and deservedly so. The songs (not all penned solely by the band, which some hardcore fans objected to) are almost uniformly smart, hooky pop rockers in the best Trick tradition. The album yielded two hits, a clever cover of Elvis Presley's "Don't Be Cruel" (done somewhat in the style of Queen's "Crazy Little Thing Called Love,") and the power ballad "The Flame," which holds up better than you might expect. Other highlights include the opening "Let Go," a fantastic rocker mixing the riff from the Beatles "If I Needed Someone" with glam-rock saxophones in the chorus, and the attractively Cars-ish "Space."
