Beskrivelse
Initial pressings of SPECIAL ONE will include a bonus DVD.
Cheap Trick: Robin Zander (vocals, guitar); Rick Nielsen (guitar, background vocals); Tom Petersson (12 string bass, background vocals); Bun E. Carlos (drums, background vocals).
Additional personnel: Elizabeth Anderson, Edgar Gabriel, Miriam Sturm, Bill Kronenberg (strings).
Producers include: Chris Shaw, Dan The Automator, Jack Douglas, Steve Albini.
Who would have imagined that 26 years after their debut album, Cheap Trick would still be around, much less still putting out hard-hitting albums like SPECIAL ONE? Perfectly positioned for the 21st century, the Rockford, IL quartet, which has miraculously remained completely intact, keeps things lean and mean on this indie-label release. The no-frills production emphasizes the hard-edged power-pop sound that made the band famous in the '70s. Rick Neilsen's larger-than-life guitars and Robin Zander's rock-god wail (which now sounds more than ever like Roger Daltrey for some reason) continue to complement each other perfectly on tunes that strike just the right combination between pop hooks and hard rocking energy. Without a single wasted word or note, SPECIAL ONE should hearten Cheap Trick fans, and anyone who ever allowed themselves to believe in the promise (and staying power) of rock & roll.
