Product ReviewsSpecial One by Cheap Trick (CD, Jul-2003, Unlimited/Big 3)

MMMmmm...MMmmmm GOOD!!

Cheap Trick gets more sophisticated on this CD but, still rocks. Each band member is creative, skilled, hard playing, and they work incredibly well together. "Scent of a Woman" gets the CD going with a sonic blast. I loved the Asian sound on "Special One" and the very interesting lyrics about assisted suicide. "Words," and "My Obsession," have great melody. I heard "Sorry Boy" is about a soldier in Iraq. "Best Friend" cranks up the intensity. I think of "Low Life" and "Hummer," as one song. The sound of a match lighting and a puff is a very creative start. Robin's humming is very catchy and sexy. Love the drums and guitar riffs. The kazoo sounding thing is funny. Love every song on this CD. The bonus DVD does not hum but it does have 5 great videos on it, including one from 1976. If you have good taste in music, you'll love this CD.
