Notes
All Shook Up (Remastered + Expanded)\n2006 Epic/Legacy\n\nOriginally Released 1980\nCD Edition Released June 14, 1988\nRemastered + Expanded CD Edition Released March 7, 2006\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: Cheap Trick's first genuinely disappointing album (1979's Dream Police wasn't bad, it just wasn't up to the level of the first four), 1980's All Shook Up is pretty much a complete botch. Much of the blame belongs to producer George Martin, who, for all his brilliance, was simply a wrongheaded choice for these brash power poppers; his production style simply doesn't translate. Unfortunately, primary songwriter Rick Nielsen has to shoulder his portion of the blame as well: the band's sixth album in under four years shows that the guitarist is starting to run out of both hooks and interesting lyrics. Too many songs are based around half-baked braggadocio like "High Priest of Rhythmic Noise" and "World's Greatest Lover," without the snarky wit that elevated their earlier albums, and the tunes themselves are substandard boogie deficient in both head-bobbing riffs and singalong choruses. "Baby Loves to Rock" is a glad-handing rocker with a certain resemblance to T. Rex's classic string of hits, but it's not enough to save the album. [An Expanded edition of All Shook Up was released in 2006 with five bonus tracks.] -- Stewart Mason\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: With the legendary George Martin sitting in the producer's chair for this one, you'd think that Cheap Trick would have had it made. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case, for with All Shook Up, the hits stopped coming and the near constant touring was beginning to take its toll. Well worth seeking out, but it's not the best in Cheap Trick's notable history. -- James Chrispell\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nGreat Album, Great Bonus Tracks, Bad Remastering, March 7, 2006\nReviewer: Marshall Boswell (Memphis, TN USA)\nThe album gets five stars: I'm slamming the "remastering," which was done by some hack named Vic Anesini, who clearly did little more than add some equalization to the original master. Also listen closely to the "remastering" of the bonus EP that comes attached: the opening high-hat cymbal bit from "You're Such A Good Girl" sounds like it was recorded on french toast. Surely a genuine "remastering" would have cleaned this up. I have a Japanese remastered CD of the EP that's included here and the difference is very dramatic. That being said, this is the last absolutely great Cheap Trick album, and deserves a reevaluation. George Martin produced it: there are orchestral Who-like numbers, Zeppelin rockers, Beatles-esque ballads, industrial workouts, trashy nods to the Faces, and now you get "Everything Works If You Let It" plus the entire "Found All the Parts" EP, complete with the "Day Tripper" cover. Cheap Trick unleashed this great homage to British Rock in 1980 and was trashed by the critics as derivative. Oasis and Ocean Colour Scene did the same thing thirteen years later and topped the charts. Now we can appreciate this as a postmodern piece of loving pastiche by an amazing band, one of America's greatest ever rock acts. Pity about the remastering, though.\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nThey Finally Found All The Parts, March 7, 2006\nReviewer: P. Morand "PJM" (Knoxville, TN United States)\n"All Shook Up" has always been one of Cheap Trick's most problematic albums, and the muddy mix of the original CD issue only made it that much more of a difficult listen. This remastering job goes a long way toward reclaiming some of the virtues of the recording, although it does bring the weaker material ("High Priest of Rythmnic Noise") into somewhat unwelcome relief. No matter. It is still, overall, a decent album even if it is not on par with Cheap Trick's best. The real treat is the inclusion of the long lost "Found All The Parts" EP. It's nice to have these songs back after all these years. Well worth the price!\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nThe Road Less Traveled, June 24, 2001 \nReviewer: Kevin OConnor from Clearwater, FL USA\nAt this junture of Cheap Trick's career it would have been a safe bet to stick to formula, you know play it safe. The suits at Epic must have been hoping that Cheap Trick take that route. Nope, Cheap Trick came up with an album that has taken most critics and fans twenty years to get. When All Shook Up came out in 1980 nothing sounded like it. With just about everybody and their mom trying to mimick the soft rock sound of the Eagles and their ilk, Cheap Trick went for the throat. All Shook Up is chock full of diversity, with each track sounding different from the other. There is no preaching or finger pointing going on here just some playful fun lyrics with some dark brooding thrown in to make it all balanced. On top of that pile of humanity, there is some good punk rock energy surging on songs like on "Just Got Back," and "Love comes A tumblin' Down." Then there is "Baby Loves to Rock," with the everything but the kitchen sink style production (Think the Beatles Good Morning, Good Morning). "Stop This Game," is power, with a great swooping bass line, that reminds me of the tone in the Beatles Song "Rain"(Maybe because George Martin produced it). The Mambo Bridge on "I Hate Your Friends," is priceless. But, the real tour deforce is "High Priest Of Rhythmic Rhythmic Noise." Its weird, its fun, it is so far removed from formula it makes Pluto seem close. The Band took a lot of heat for not playing it safe, and confusing all the boring hippies at Rolling Stone. Since most critics could not understand All Shook Up they ridiculed it, calling it a comedy album. It took critics, suits at Epic and music fans in general till 1991 to catch up to Cheap Trick's vision via Nirvana. So Check All Shook up out and for that matter their first 8 albums, and their studio album from 1997. Cheap Trick is one of ther most courageous band in the history of rock music. If all you know about them is the Flame or I Want You to Want Me, you are missing out.\n\nCD Connection.com Review\nCheap Trick: Robin Zander (vocals); Rick Nielsen (guitar, piano); Tom Petersson (bass); Bun E. Carlos (percussion). \n\nRecorded at Air Studios, Montserrat, England. \n\nALL SHOOK UP was produced by George Martin, the genius behind the boards for the Beatles (and was also recorded by longtime Beatle engineer Geoff Emerick). But ALL SHOOK UP isn't any more Beatle-influenced than any other Trick album; in fact, with the exception of the majestic "World's Greatest Lover," which Martin actually arranged, the band mostly nods to other stylistic influences. \n\nFor instance, "Just Got Back" has '70s glam touches as well as a big percussion sound reminiscent of Adam and the Ants or Bow Wow Wow. Then the very funny "Baby Loves to Rock" (one of Robin Zander's best vocals ever) manages to reference the Yardbirds, early Led Zeppelin, and the Move. The splendidly titled "I Love You Honey But I Hate Your Friends" is a cross between EXILE-era Stones and the Faces with Rod Stewart. And "High Priest of Rhythmic Noise," fittingly, is heavy on the sound-effects and actually veers in the direction of techno.
