- Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2007I am proud to say, I am one of the "originals", having discovered Cheap Trick in 1978 as a 13 year old suburban kid days after hearing "Surrender" for the first time on radio. To this day, when I think of that song, the line "Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away," brings back all the non-conformist angst that drew me to the band almost 30 years ago. These guys were, and are, my heroes.
Despite mixed commercial success after the HUGELY influencial "Live at Budokan", I've always stuck by the original 4 members, who've always stuck by their love and respect for melodic guitar-driven songs. This album is particularly for people who see the band like I do.
"Rockford" is certainly a tribute album, even if it didn't intend to be that way. The title alone tells volumes about the band, in that its named for the small home-town in IL that nurtured them. Just as the title brings them back to the beginning, so too do the songs -- tight, energetic, and as vital as anything the band put out on the now famous "first-five" (or the "Quint-essentials" as I like to call them). Still more amazing...they sound every bit as good as they did 30 years ago. They just refuse to get old, and go away quietly. One of the reason's they are still my heroes.
Long-winded reviews bore me, and take up space from other contributors, so I'll summarize here. Long-time fans will see their faith in the band restored with the best set of new material since "Lap of Luxury", possibly even "Dream Police". People new to the band, who don't want to trip down memory lane will find a collection of tunes that hold their own with anything on the EMO charts today. And anyone who has always believed in the power of a good hook, a strong back-beat, and a loud guitar to redeem their soul will hear this as both a revelation and epiphany.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2006So why can't we give 6 stars? If any album deserves it, this one does. I'm not a great fan of contemporary music, but the other morning I turned on a radio show and suddenly a song came on. My immediate response was, "Finally there's a band out there that I could enjoy." The song ended and I discovered that the song, "Perfect Stranger," was from ROCKFORD. I shoulda known. As a Cheap Trick fan in Madison, Milwaukee, and points south in the 70's I was headed back to the future.
How good is ROCKFORD? It's so good that the praise that it's receiving radically understates the case. This is more than a great Cheap Trick record; it's a virtual tour of all that was exceptional in the music of the 70's. Nearly every song includes a reference to the music of that period. It would be fun to play it in bits and pieces and have people guess as to what they're actually hearing. The Beatles, ELO, you name it, it's here. There are touches of Supertramp, the Moody Blues, and a number of bands with which Cheap Trick is seldom associated.
Every track is strong. At least 5 of the tracks are truly exceptional and 1 or 2 could be considered instant classics. Most important of all, each is different. It is sad to see some of my old time idols making records in which nearly every track sounds the same. I know, I know, there are differences, but contrast TWO AGAINST NATURE with GAUCHO or AJA. With ROCKFORD we're looking at a major release and one that never, no never, disappoints.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2024This is a terrific set by the HOF band.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2006The best band of the 70s has only faltered a few times since it's inception ("The Doctor", "Busted" and "Special One") but has made it clear over the past few years that their debut album was not only one of the 10 best debut albums in rock history, but a legacy that they would never turn their back on. The producer that helped to make that record such a milestone, Jack Douglass, is back on this CD, and it shows. Every song on the CD could astound listeners on even today's radio formats (my favorite track at the moment, "This Time You Got It", sounds like their Move-influenced rockers of yesteryear). Cheap Trick is my favorite band of all time, and I could not possibly be prouder of them than I am right now because of "Rockford". Their massive influence on other rock bands over the last 30 years just got that much bigger. If the so-called "R&R Hall of Fame" does not induct Cheap Trick soon (indeed, without The Cheaps, half of the rock bands of the past 30 years would never have been), that organization will be nothing but a sad joke in the eyes of true rockers everywhere.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2007Looking back at my life and the music that carried me through the years, the band Cheap Trick percolates to the top. While they are not the only band I have ever had a fondness for, clearly, for me, CT has been the band that has stood the test of time.
As a teenager in the 70s, CT was there with me each step of the way. Success and failure, love and heartbreak, they were the soundtrack to my life. Most recently, on a whim, I saw them in San Diego, with my fiancee, and as a result, I happened upon Rockford.
What a delight. Rockford clearly delivers all I have ever come to expect of the band, and fits in with all the other CT albums I own. Tear jerking ballads, and music with an edge. It's all here, and sounds as fresh as ever.
The Beatles surely were a ground-breaking band. But Cheap Trick, in my opinion, has always delivered so much more, and Rockford only helps to validate, for me, that belief. Way to go guys, and keep it coming.
My favorite track? O Claire. What an amazing song.

5.0 out of 5 stars 'A Spectacular Return To Form'
After the truly abysmal (worst of their career) 'Special One' album, I as a long standing CT fan had begun to fear the worst. Had my beloved hero's finally lost it? Had so long out of the studio taken it's toll? Well, I am SO glad to be able to tell you that the answer to both questions on this evidence is a resounding NO! From the opening bars of 'Welcome To The World' to the last chord of the last track, this record is a triumph. 'Rockford' quite simply has put the rock back into CT! Back are the glorious melodies, back are the great harmonies, back are the chaotic, crazy and energetic performances and the bands timing, but best of all.. back are the SONGS. 'If it Takes A Lifetime' for example is EVERYTHING you've EVER LOVED about CT and has got to be one of the best trick songs ever (should have been a hit single too). Most of the songs on this record see the band in rockin' mood and the groups pop sensibilities once again match perfectly with some good old fashioned 'dirty rock n' roll'. Robin Zander sings like he really means business again and most of all the group sound like their enjoying themselves. Such freshness and vitality you would have expected to come from the band at the start of their careers, but after the dismal disappointment of 'Special One', it is indeed a tribute to the guys that with this record they've come back stronger than ever! ESSENTIAL!

5.0 out of 5 stars Zündet nicht sofort
ich habe cheap trick in den 80er gehört jedoch aus den augen verloren.
ich finde mit der neuen cd knüpfen sie an alte erfolge an.
dieses album erschliest sich nicht sofort, es braucht 3-4 durchgänge, die mühe lohnt sich, es wird belohnt mit melodien zum nieder knien die dich nicht mehr loslassen.
toll produziert mit einem modernen sound. für rockfans eine dickste kaufemfehlung. ich hoffe sie kommen auch wieder live nach deutschland. coole band mit einem sehr, sehr gutem album.

5.0 out of 5 stars dans leur top 3
si on s'attendait ! En 2006, plus de 30 ans après leurs débuts, Cheap Trick réalise un album aussi bon que "dream police" ou "in color". Si j'évoque des albums aussi anciens, réalisés en 77-78, c'est que le son de "rockford" rappelle ces années-là. De la pop vitaminée, des titres courts, et de superbes mélodies comme celle du single "perfect stranger".
De quoi redonner le moral à tous les fans, surtout avec cette nouvelle distribution européenne augurant d'une tournée prochaine.
