The classic 1977 debut by one of the greatest power pop bands of all time!
I orig. bought this RECORD in December 1979. I rate Cheap Trick's debut album w/ 5 Stars. I would like to offer my reviews & opinions, of each song:1. "ELO Kiddies"...I like this song quite well, it's pretty good.2. "Daddy Should Have Stayed In High School"...Was I ever recently SHOCKED to discover that "Daddy" was about a pedophile. I always thought that the lyrics were always a little HARD to understand @ times. So therefore, I NEVER really picked up on this song's TRUE meaning. However, I love the music & the slower beat to this otherwise, decent song.3. "Taxman, Mr. Thief"...This is one hell of a great song, I think. Powerful vocals & music.4. "Cry, Cry"...I like this song.5. "Oh, Candy...This song is passable, only.6. "Hot Love"...I love this song, very much. It has a great beat to it.7. "Speak Now Or Forever Hold Your Peace"...Cheap Trick DIDN'T write this song. I love this song a GREAT deal & I esp. love the drumming. Just like the song "Daddy", the lyrics are a little HARD for me to understand, @ times. The song title "Speak Now...." is NEVER mentioned throughout the song.8. "He's A Whore"...I always wondered why this song wasn't titled as "Anytime @ All", as it's mentioned a lot MORE than "He's A Whore". This song always seemed SO familiar, when I first bought this album. Maybe, just maybe, it was a brief hit on the radio. Just like "Hot Love", I love the beat on this song, along w/ everything else.9. "Mandocello"...This song is so much DIFFERENT from the rest. It is real enjoyable & nice to listen to. I like this song, quite well.10. "The Ballad Of TV Violence (I'm Not The Only Boy)"...This song has it's moments. It's okay, until you get to the END & it always seems to drive me nuts. This is my LEAST favorite on this album. I do, however, like the drumming, though.BONUS TRACKS:11. "Lovin' Money"...This song is okay, not a favorite.12. "I Want You To Want Me"...A previously unreleased version & its pretty good.13. "Lookout"...I remember this song from the "Live In Budokan" album & I like this, very much.14. "You're All Talk"...I also remember THIS song from Cheap Trick's 2nd album "In Color". As in the song "He's A Whore" (title wise), I'm surprised that "You're All Talk", ISN'T called "Please Don't Go", INSTEAD. I've always like this song a lot.15. "I Dig Go-Go Girls"... It's okay, but again it's NOT a favorite.Cheap Trick songs can remind me a lot of songs that Sweet, of "Ballroom Blitz" fame, could be good on. I think that BOTH groups sound a little similar, & they are BOTH EXCELLENT in my honest opinion. This album is highly recommended & I bought my CD version, of this DEBUT album, on April 6, 2013 from Amazon.Com & plus I STILL also have this ORIG. record.
