Reviews Customer Reviews for Rockford      Cheap Trick - The Old Guys Can Still Rock      Rating:      The title of this album refers to the band's hometown of Rockford Illinois. After the rather bland "Special One" three years earlier "Rockford" was a nice return to form. This album garnered high praise from the music press and although I don't think it quite lives up to the hype it is a very nice album from the veteran band. "Welcome To The World", "If It Takes A Lifetime", "Come On Come On", "O Claire", and "All Those Years" are all great songs. The rest of the album is pretty solid as well, although for latter day Cheap Trick I don't think this one quite stacks up against the self titled "Cheap Trick" album from 1997. Overall though "Rockford" is a very good Cheap Trick album and a big improvement over the band's last outing "Special One". These old guys can still sound fresh and they can rock as hard as ever.     Customer Reviews for Rockford Cd      It made me a fan!      Rating:      I bought Rockford on somewhat of a whim after seeing them perform "Perfect Stranger" on Conan O'Brien's show and then noticing that I could pick up this new album for a mere $9 at the local Wal-Mart. I really really liked it and soon bought their first four albums, a Greatest Hits and At Budokan. I don't know how their music fared in the 80's and 90's (though I'm told its not so hot), but this album sounds just as good to these ears as those great albums from the 70's. Plenty of loud guitars, good melodies, and a ton of energy (these guys sound way more vibrant than most bands 30 years into their career). Plus, unlike some of those overly-glossy 70's albums, Rockfords production really lets the band kick it loud and proud. Fans should be happy with these catchy loud rock songs, and folks new to Cheap Trick will probably find this album to be so good that they just might want more (I know I did!).
