Album Notes Cheap Trick: Robin Zander (vocals, acoustic, 6-string electric, 12-string electric, baritone & slide guitars, tiple, piano); Rick Nielsen (vocals, acoustic & electric guitars, E-bow, piano, electric saw); Tom Petersson (vocals, acoustic, electric & baritone guitars, E-bow, tamboura, acoustic bass, 4 & 12-string electric basses, viola bass); Bun E. Carlos (drums, tambourine). Additional personnel: Mike Beert (cello); Richie Cannata (piano). Recorded at Pie Studios, Glen Cove, New York. The first self-titled Cheap Trick album was released in 1977, when the quartet was young, hungry and full of attitude, ready to set the world on fire. Twenty years later, the second album to carry an eponymous moniker finds Robin, Rick, Tom and Bun E. not so young or hungry anymore; but they've still got attitude to spare and a willingness to raise a sonic ruckus. Somehow, this pioneering band of rocking popsters has avoided many of the pitfalls that bring down other bands with half the longevity. There has been only one, temporary personnel change (bassist Tom Petersson took most of the '80s off), no breakups and reunions, and no embarrassing side projects. Like the Ramones, Cheap Trick has spent the last two decades building up an oeuvre of stylistically consistent albums of hard-hitting, accessible-but-quirky pop. The 1997 edition of CHEAP TRICK is no exception to that rule. Editorial Reviews Musician (07/01/1997) Rolling Stone (12/25/1997) | See an error? Submit a change request | ||||||||||||||
