Along with its explosive popular success, IN ANOTHER WORLD has been met by ecstatic praise from high profile media outlets everywhere:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Since their first album in 1977, Cheap Trick has consistently put out perfectly polished power-pop and hard rock gems, and that tradition continues here…all we can do is be thankful for the longevity and endless creativity of the quartet from Rockford, Illinois…Singer Robin Zander sounds exactly as he did nearly 45 years ago, and hasn’t lost a thing off his fastball. And Tom Petersson, who pioneered the 12-string bass, lays down a bottom so full and chunky it’s hard to believe this four-piece band has only one guitar and one bass.”<\/div>\n
-Associated Press<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Like Cleopatra with power chords, Cheap Trick cannot be withered by age, nor does custom stale their infinite variety…In Another World, their twentieth studio album, is one of their best yet. As ever the band appear to have listened to both every record ever made and nothing at all since 1977.”<\/div>\n
-Classic Rock<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cIn Another World has all the familiar ingredients of the band’s classic power-pop sound.\u201d<\/div>\n
-Forbes<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cA gripping, charming and laudable return from the legendary rock quartet.\u201d<\/div>\n
-PopMatters<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“The energy is still there, the dedication to the craft of writing Beatlesque power-pop songs is still there, and the elder Nielsen\u2019s guitar tone still sounds like it could chip rust off an old battleship.”<\/div>\n
-Riff<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Singer Robin Zander sounds ageless…Combined with the very inventive and solid guitar work of Rick Nielsen and energized by his son, drummer Daxx Nielsen, and bassist Tom Petersson,<\/div>\n
this recording stands alongside any of their classic releases.”<\/div>\n
