New Cheap Trick preview from "The Latest"

[Spudman***]

Here is a song from "The Latest" album. It's called "Sick Man of Europe."
IT's rock and roll kiddies.:

Sounds like shades of "Dream Police" era Cheap Trick instead of the more lamentable "pop" stuff.

[Algonquin]

I like it : I'm interested in hearing more songs on the album... that tune was catchy. Good post.

I love Cheap Trick but after listening to "The Latest" I'm ready for the next album. The Latest is quite forgettable.

Some odd processing there toward the end bit starting around 1:30ish. I didn't care for those choices, just too disjointed. Definitely a raw sound that was interesting overall, but I think I'd get tired of it sooner rather than later.

The previous album "Rockford" is a jem from start to finish. This new one is a yawner in my opinion and I love Cheap Trick.
