I'm sure i'm just learning what the rest of you already know - I recently
picked up the first four Cheap Trick CDs, and I must say I am knocked out!
I had no idea they were so damn cool!  The first Cheap Trick disk is very
edgy, with cool songs, great guitar work, killer rhythm, passionate vocals
and performance - it rocks harder than most bands out nowadays.  And In
Color is truly a powerpop classic - wall to wall fantastic tunes!  I've had
the Budokhan LP since I was a kid, and beyond that, I have one of their
greatest hits comps.  With all the talk I've heard over the years about how
spotty CT are, I was hesitant to get any of their proper albums.  I guess
I've been missing the boat all these years!  I'm looking forward to checking
out Heaven Tonight and Dream Police next...
