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
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
