This is still the best album Cheap Trick ever released period. With songs like "Downed" ,"Southern Girls" and "Big Eyes" its a classic.I would recomend it to anyone who likes 70's or 80's guitar oriented rock music.

"Hello There" is a great "get the party started song." If you like that level of excitement, then play "Clock Strikes Ten", "Southern Girls" and "Come on, come on". Rick Nielsen's guitar work is subtle; you think that you're listening to simple power chords and then you realize that there's a lot of depth to his guitar work. I also enjoy "Downed", "Oh Caroline" and "So Good To See You." I think that this is the Cheap Trick CD to own if you can only have one; almost every track is great. Have a listen!

their second cd, In Color, is when Cheap Trick first were noticed - and there is a very good reason - they are the best band out there!!! Check it out!!!

Cheap Trick knows where its at. If you dont already have this cd, get it.

...that there's only 3 reviews of one of the best rock albums ever made on Amazon.com.

Sad, sad, sad.

I have the old 10-track CD version of In Color, Cheap Trick's 2nd album (I had the gatefold LP back in the day of course). In Color can be easily overlooked because it falls between the band's incredible debut and the chart-topping Heaven Tonight. And to be honest, yes it's not as good as either of those two but Cheap Trick on a bad day is still one of the best bands around. In Color is a fantastic record, HIGHLY recommended to any Trickster. It's fun to hear the "lame" version of I Want You To Want Me, and In Color contains two of my all time favorite songs, Downed and Come On Come On. Southern Girls is also great. The lyrics to Downed get to me every time, I love the opening verse:
I'm gonna live on a mountain
Way down under in Australia
Its either that or suicide
Its such a strange strain on you
