    In Another World is a remarkable album and another marvellous continuation: power and pop. [May 2021, p.88]

    Cheap Trick and others from their graduating class may be perfectly content to carry on as walking memes, but In Another World reminds us that this veteran rock act still has lifeblood coursing through its veins.

    In Another World displays the Tricksters cranking out another 45 minutes of crackling rock and roll that belies the members’ age, extensive backstory along with a work ethic doesn’t show any signs of slowing down now. Cheap Trick is a group too smart to quit.

    The first 5 tracks are a firework of Cheap Trick power pop like fans can only wish for.
    Track 6 Final Days sounds like a Slade anthem and is    The first 5 tracks are a firework of Cheap Trick power pop like fans can only wish for.
    Track 6 Final Days sounds like a Slade anthem and is this really a goodbye song?
    Track 7 So It Goes is a Beatles style ballad before Light Up the Fire continues to rock and roll but the remaining tracks add little more than standard Cheap Trick (not that this is a totally bad thing).    … Full Review »
