Cheap Trick : Dream Police (Expanded Edition)





YOU KNOW THAT

TALK IS CHEAP

AND THOSE

RUMORS AIN'T NICE

AND WHEN I FALL ASLEEP

I DON'T THINK 

I'LL SURVIVE THE NIGHT


 Dream Police

 is the fourth 

studio album 

by American 

Rock Band

 Cheap Trick

It was released

 in 1979,

 and was their

 third release 

in a row

 produced by

 Tom Werman

It is the band's

 most commercially 

successful 

studio album, 

going to No. 6 

on the

 Billboard 200 chart 

and being certified

 platinum within

 a few months 

of its release.

Overview

Dream Police 

shows the band

 expanding into longer, 

more complex songs 

and incorporating

 orchestration

 on several tracks. 

Three videos

 were produced: 

"Dream Police",

 "Way of the World

and

 "Voices".

 The album had been

 completed by

 early-1979, 

but its release

 was pushed back 

several months

 due to the

 surprise success of

 Cheap Trick at Budokan.

The album's title track 

became a 

Top 30 hit 

for the band.

 "Voices" 

was also a hit 

for the band, 

reaching No. 32

 on the Billboard chart.

Near the end of

 "Gonna Raise Hell" 

the orchestra is 

citing a snippet from

 "Heaven Tonight". 

That song was described by

 AllMusic critic 

Tom Maginnis 

as having an 

extended,

 disco-inflected, 

slowburn groove
