Artist: Cheap TrickAlbum: In Another WorldReviewer: Curt Ubank It's absolutely no secret that we here at Hear2Zen are massive fans of the legendary rock Quartet Cheap Trick. We're all fanboys. Its hard not to be. They've been around for many years, have released an almost infinite number of tracks that are STILL radio staples and a couple of years backs the team got to see one of the best live show we've ever seen, when Cheap Trick played the Tivoli here in Brisbane. (Check our site for a rundown of that gig). But Sounds evolve, Line ups change and magic gets altered. It happens with every band.
