Rick Nielsen called it a breath of fresh air, and it's easy to hear why: the guitars are louder and the band sounds like it's having fun again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe title track opens with a crunchy, menacing riff and Robin Zander's snarling vocal, while You're All I Wanna Do delivers punchy power pop with a sticky chorus. Never Run Out of Love shows the band's softer side, and My Gang kicks the record off with swaggering, street-level energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNielsen's guitars and Tom Petersson's bass bring real grit, and Bun E. Carlos keeps everything tight and punchy behind the kit. Zander, as ever, can sound tender and dangerous within the same verse, and the band's knack for a big, crunchy hook is fully intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn underrated chapter in Cheap Trick's long story, it's well worth rediscovering on this eye-catching pink pressing, and it sits happily alongside the band's better-known classics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57165878886705,"sku":"081227806309","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Cheap_Trick-Woke_Up_with_a_Monster_Pink.jpg?v=1793188116","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/cheap-trick-woke-up-with-a-monster-pink","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
