Great Get!!!!

This is a great album, very worthy of the whole download and not just a select few songs.

Starting to irritate me

Listen. It is not e-music who decides "album only." It is part of the deal structure with the record companies. I swear, people. I don't like it either, but you are blaming the wrong entity.

Album only bummer

Greybeard55

So Surrender and I Want You To Want Me are album only. So I will go to Amazon and spend 99 cents instead of 50 cents. So emusic loses and Amazon wins, too bad so sad.

Agree with torrens-'album only'

I have the earlier Greatest Hits album so why do I need to buy those songs again!

Great American rock band

Vandy-Sixx

I just discovered the greatness of Cheap Trick this year, and this is the album that introduced me to the band. Once songs like "I Can't Take It", "The Flame", and "If You Want My Love" got stuck in my head, I knew I had found a winner.

Mostly great...

There are a few cuts here that you could do without, but for the casual Cheap Trick fan, this is the right place to start

eMusic Selects: Army Navy

By J. Edward Keyes, Editor-in-Chief

When we last left Army Navy in 2008, they had released an attention-grabbing, hook-laden bright-n-shiny debut, were racking up placements in high-profile films and seemed to be on a trajectory aimed decidedly upward. But plenty can happen in three years, as it turns out: in the wake of their debut's modest success, Army chief Justin Kennedy found himself swept up in a whirlwind relationship, the kind that kills at the same time as it thrills.… more »

Six Degrees of Boston

By Jayson Greene, International Editor

It used to be easier to pretend that an album was its own perfectly self-contained artifact. The great records certainly feel that way. But albums are more permeable than solid, their motivations, executions and inspirations informed by, and often stolen from, their peers and forbearers. It all sounds awfully formal, but it's not. It's the very nature of music — of art, even. The Six Degrees features examine the relationships between classic records and five… more »

They Say All Music Guide

This is an “authorized” greatest hits collection in the sense that the band picked the selections themselves. It’s preferable to the 1991 Greatest Hits comp for its slightly greater length (16 songs) and better choice of material; the single version of “Southern Girls” makes it on this time around, for instance. Still, like that other album with “Greatest Hits” in the title, it misses a number of rockers that fans might rate among their best work. The only previously unreleased item is a live 1988 performance of “The Flame”; a live version of “I Can’t Take It” and their rendition of “That 70′s Song (In the Street),” the latter famed for its use as a television theme, are the only tracks recorded after 1990. – Richie Unterberger
