Here's the poop as found on Billboard.com:
Veteran rock act Cheap Trick will release its first new studio album since
1997, "Special One," on July 8. The set will be issued through the band's
own Cheap Trick Unlimited label in conjunction with a new licensing deal
with BIG3 Records. The agreement also includes the rights to the band's
albums "Cheap Trick II," "In Color," "Woke Up With a Monster," "Silver," and
"Music for Hangovers."
"Special One" features the talents of an array of disparate producers,
including Jack Douglas (John Lennon, Aerosmith), Dan "The Automator"
Nakamura (Gorillaz, Handsome Boy Modeling School), and admitted Cheap Trick
fanatic Steve Albini (Nirvana, Pixies). Tracks include "Scent of a Woman,"
"Pop Drone," "My Obsession," and "Low Life in High Heels."
"This is probably the most musically diverse record we've ever recorded,"
frontman Robin Zander said in a statement. "We love all sorts of music and
there is a little bit of everything on this record." It's Cheap Trick's
first new studio release since 1997's "Cheap Trick II," which debuted at No.
99 on The Billboard 200 and has sold 58,000 copies in the U.S., according to
Nielsen SoundScan.
Cheap Trick has a busy touring schedule on tap for the rest of the year. The
group plays New York's Beacon Theatre tomorrow (April 24); for a full
itinerary, visit its official Web site.
So finally, a release date!!!
