The four hundred and forty-sixth album: #446 Cheap Trick - At Budokan
Crowd noises and echo aside, At Budokan's hard rock shows off Cheap Trick's music quite well - the driving guitars and hard music that doesn't veer into a shoutier metal track, but keeps it musically contained with some nice moments of composition between the on going pushes. Despite the style, the tracks are quite distinctive even when they stay within that ball park, without a ballad in sight, and even the live version of I Want You To Want Me is that much rockier even as it stays very poppy. While drowned out by the glut of rock bands in this era, Cheap Trick still stays very listenable.
