I think the first song I heard off of this record was "Perfect Stranger" on JJ Radio. Right away I knew this would be a good record. I have heard a few other songs here and there and they rock.

But as I have stated many times, I am not a music critic or reviewer. Therefore, I am going to end this essay and turn you over to Bryan Askew, who reviewed this Cheap Trick's record Rockford for Amps Eleven.

A flower waits for a bee to come along, to help it reproduce, but does it know it's waiting for a bee? Does it worry what will happen if a bee doesn't come along?

Who cares? We're here to talk about Cheap Trick's new album.

Three years after their excellent Special One, the band is back with Rockford. This one is well worth the wait, delivering everything from dreamy pop to crank-the-stereo rock that will give you something to hum about on one song and pump your fist on the next. More >>
