CHEAP TRICK - ALL SHOOK UP (1980)

I've gotta say that I'm not a big fan of the title of Cheap Trick's brand new album. But that has absolutely nothing to do with All Shook Up, which followed the EP Found All The Parts, released earlier in 1980. All Shook Up was a Top 40 album, ringing in at number twenty-four, while managing a Gold certification. Stop This Game and World's Greatest Lover were the singles, neither doing any real damage on the singles charts. What do I think of this album? I think the album cover is weird, but I actually like it. To me, the first half of the album is pretty cool, but it falls off the cliff pretty hard for me after that. World's Greatest Lover is okay, but after that it just does nothing for me. The material produced by the band in the early 80's did not impress me. I would get re-impressed in 1985. What are your thoughts on this one?
