Album:
What's in the water Cheap Trick is drinking these days?Last year the band's "Bang, Zoom, Crazy ... Hello" was its first album in seven years. But the new "We're All Alright!" follows closely on its heels on June 16, marking the first time in more than 20 years the band has released albums in consecutive years, since the one-two punch of "Standing On The Edge" and "The Doctor" in 1985 and 1986 respectively."Y'know, we always write, but it's more fun to write for a project and write for a reason", guitarist Rick Nielsen tells Billboard. "We have a company (Big Machine Records) that believes in us and they like the work and they're letting us make more records, which is cool. Making records is one of the ambitions we've always had. I don't think the desire has ever gone away."Cheap Trick recorded "We're All Alright!" - whose title, of course, references the 1978 hit "Surrender" and 1999's "That '70s Song" - with Julian Raymond, who also helmed "Bang, Zoom, Crazy ... Hello". Its 10 tracks (13 on the deluxe edition) hail from the band's past and present, with older, previously unrecorded songs such as "Radio Lover", "Lolita" and "She's Alright" sitting alongside material written and recorded specifically for the album."Long Time Coming", a crunchy hard rocker driven by a Kinks-flavored riff, is a bit of a one song tribute to Cheap Trick's influential forebears. "It's our interpretation of Slade and MC5 and AC/DC and Aerosmith - a lot of riffs that are reminiscent of the Move, but they're not steals", Nielsen says. "It's just like all the bands we like." The song also features a synthesizer underbelly that was a signature in "Surrender", "Dream Police" and other Cheap Trick songs.Nielsen, meanwhile, says another new album in 2018 is a distinct possibility. "Starting in May we're going back in the studio", he says. "There's stuff around and there's some ideas that never did get fleshed out, which we hope to. It's exciting."Cheap Trick will be promoting the album with a summer tour with Foreigner and John Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience. Foreigner and Cheap Trick will both be celebrating 40th anniversaries, Cheap Trick for the release of its first two albums in 1977.
