I wasn't really sure about the first song Cheap Trick released from their brand new album, No Direction Home. But now that I've heard it a few times, it's very catchy. But that's another subject, Dream Police is Cheap Trick's fourth studio album (fifth album overall). Released back in 1979, it was a big hit for the band, topping out at number six on the Billboard albums chart and scoring a cool Platinum certification from the RIAA. Two singles were released in the U.S., with both hitting the Top 40 (Dream Police at #26 and Voices at #32). I loved the album cover back then, but it does look a tad cheesy now. Nah, it's still cool. If I remember correctly, and I usually don't, my cousin Steve had this on 8-track. The reason I seem to remember that is that he played Gonna Raise Hell quite often in his car. He was a couple years older than me and had just started driving. I also seem to remember hearing Writing On The Wall as well. I'd have to say this is a very good album. What would you have to say? Oh, and I already have added a lot of songs to my Ultimate Cheap Trick Playlist, but after this album, the numbers will begin to drop (with a couple of exceptions).
