Standing on the Edge

Cheap Trick

A high-gloss collision of 70s arena rock grit and 80s digital sheen. Aggressive guitar riffs meet shimmering synthesizers and massive vocal harmonies.

August 1985 · Epic

A high-octane blend of 80s optimism and rock and roll desperation.

Moments Worth Listening For
The shimmering, silvery synthesizer intro of Tonight It's You that explodes into a classic power pop anthem.
The frantic, almost paranoid vocal delivery during the bridge of the title track Standing on the Edge.
The heavy, mechanical stomp of the drums on Little Sister that signals the band's 80s sonic pivot.
