Cheap Trick We're all alright

2017, Cheap Trick recorded WE'RE ALL ALRIGHT! - whose title, of course, references the 1978 hit ,,Surrender" and 1999's ,,That ´70s Song" - with Julian Raymond, who also helmed BANG, ZOOM, CRAZY... HELLO. Its ten tracks (thirteen on the deluxe edition) hail from the group's past and present, with older, previously unrecorded songs such as ,,Radio Lover", ,,Lolita" and ,,She's Alright" sitting alongside material written and recorded specifically for the album. ,,Long Time Coming", a crunchy hard rocker driven by a Kinks-flavored riff, is a bit of a one-song tribute to Cheap Trick's influential forebears. ´It's our interpretation of Slade and MC5 and AC/DC and Aerosmith - a lot of riffs that are reminiscent of the Move, but they're not steals´, Nielsen says. ´It's just, like, all the bands we like`. The song also features a synthesizer underbelly that was a signature in ,,Surrender", ,,Dream Police" and other Cheap Trick songs.
