SE3, EP23: Cheap Trick, Heaven Tonight
Listen now
Description
On this weeks episode, its another listerner's pick! We give listen to  1978's Heaven Tonight, Cheap Trick's third  studio album,  and considered by many to be their best.  Having explored their harder rock side on their self-titled debut, and embracing their power pop leaning on their second LP In Color, Heaven Tonight finds the band finding a happy middle ground between both to fantastic results.  From the opener fantastic "Surrender", an ode to the generation gap (considered one of the greatest power pop songs ever), to the bouncy piano send off of "How Are You", Heaven Tonight is a whirlwind of crunchy guitars, soaring vocals, and impossible hooks.
