 One of the best albums CT ever did..... Jun 06, 2009
I remember getting this on vinyl in 1980. I still have the original vinyl. One of the most experimental records Cheap Trick ever did. Vastly underrated and overlooked. As far as I'm concerned the last great record until Cheap Trick 1997. Produced by Beatles legend George Martin who says more with less on the production end. A lost classic lovingly remastered here. It's worth every penny.

Digital Remaster plus extra songs is worth it Mar 23, 2009
I had the original pressing of this CD and it was ok. The sound quality was low. I decided to upgrade to the digital remaster since many of my AC/DC, Kiss, and Van Halen CDs sound much better with the remasters. This one gets high marks too. Just listen to the drums on "Who'd King" and "Just Got Back" and you will understand. You can hear so much more percussion. The extra songs are a great blast from the past from CT from this era. The live "Day Tripper" is a must have for any CT fan. Plus the liner notes has comments about each song from Rick, Bun E, and George Martin. Enjoy!
Cheap Trick + George Martin = awesome album! Jan 04, 2008
It was a dream come true for uber-Beatles fans Cheap Trick to have George Martin produce an album with them. The results equal one of my favorite Cheap Trick albums, and I love Cheap Trick so when I say it's probably my favorite release from them that carries some weight. It might sound odd but I think Heaven Tonight is their "best" album but All Shook Up is probably my "favorite" album, and I can't leave In Color out of the running for either spot because that's outstading as well. Anyway, All Shook Up has some oddball stuff like a Darth Vader-synth voice on "High Priest Of Rhythmic Noise" and a tribal-esque drum chant party on "Who D King." Add to those a grandiose theme song like "Stop This Game," a couple of old-school rockers like "Just Got Back" and "Baby Loves to Rock," and one of the best power ballads EVER in "World's Greatest Lover" and you have one heck of a record. I have the original 10-song version (after my old LP literally wore out) so I can't comment on the remastering or bonus tracks. I have to mention that "Can't Stop It But I'm Gonna Try," "I Love You Honey But I Hate Your Friends," and "Go For The Throat (Use Your Own Imagination)" are also classic Cheap Trick tunes. There is literally not a bad song on this entire album. Favorite songs: all of the above.

Personal digression on my hometown heroes Jul 17, 2006
This album means so much to me, actually reminds me of one of the most painful periods of my life. But since recently rediscovering my hometown heroes, the songs put a boying grin on my face.
Being from Rockford, Cheap Trick and their growing fame were a good calling card for me for me in 1978-79 when my dad moved us out to California. I guess I was about 12 and one of my favorite hobbies was air-guitaring to "Gonna Raise Hell" in the living room.
Anyway, we moved back to the Midwest at about the time the All Shook Up LP came out and I can remember how I couldn't wait to get my hands on a copy. We lived in a cheap apartment building on the outskirts of Chicago. Just walking around in the place would bump our Dual turntable, so my dad decided to suspend it from the ceiling. It stopped the arm from jumping.
I played the hell out of this album and I can also remember picking up a copy of Judas Priest's British Steel.
There's something beautiful and sad about Stop This Game, but perhaps it's just my associations.
