Album Notes & Community Reviews

Boasting their iconic arena-rock smash 'Surrender', Cheap Trick's third studio album perfectly balances Beatles-esque melodic sophistication with thunderous hard rock energy. 'Heaven Tonight' is an incredibly playful, fiercely triumphant power pop classic, contrasting Robin Zander's immaculate vocal hooks with Rick Nielsen's wonderfully quirky, rebellious guitar grit.
