Reviews Customer Reviews for All Shook Up      Cheap Trick + George Martin = awesome album!      Rating:      It was a dream come true for uber-Beatles fans Cheap Trick to have George Martin produce an album with them. The results equal one of my favorite Cheap Trick albums, and I love Cheap Trick so when I say it's probably my favorite release from them that carries some weight. It might sound odd but I think Heaven Tonight is their "best" album but All Shook Up is probably my "favorite" album, and I can't leave In Color out of the running for either spot because that's outstading as well. Anyway, All Shook Up has some oddball stuff like a Darth Vader-synth voice on "High Priest Of Rhythmic Noise" and a tribal-esque drum chant party on "Who D King." Add to those a grandiose theme song like "Stop This Game," a couple of old-school rockers like "Just Got Back" and "Baby Loves to Rock," and one of the best power ballads EVER in "World's Greatest Lover" and you have one heck of a record. I have the original 10-song version (after my old LP literally wore out) so I can't comment on the remastering or bonus tracks. I have to mention that "Can't Stop It But I'm Gonna Try," "I Love You Honey But I Hate Your Friends," and "Go For The Throat (Use Your Own Imagination)" are also classic Cheap Trick tunes. There is literally not a bad song on this entire album. Favorite songs: all of the above.     Customer Reviews for All Shook Up Cd      Personal digression on my hometown heroes      Rating:      This album means so much to me, actually reminds me of one of the most painful periods of my life. But since recently rediscovering my hometown heroes, the songs put a boying grin on my face. Being from Rockford, Cheap Trick and their growing fame were a good calling card for me for me in 1978-79 when my dad moved us out to California. I guess I was about 12 and one of my favorite hobbies was air-guitaring to "Gonna Raise Hell" in the living room. Anyway, we moved back to the Midwest at about the time the All Shook Up LP came out and I can remember how I couldn't wait to get my hands on a copy. We lived in a cheap apartment building on the outskirts of Chicago. Just walking around in the place would bump our Dual turntable, so my dad decided to suspend it from the ceiling. It stopped the arm from jumping. I played the hell out of this album and I can also remember picking up a copy of Judas Priest's British Steel. There's something beautiful and sad about Stop This Game, but perhaps it's just my associations.
