Dream Police, Cheap Trick's fourth studio album, landed on Epic on September 21, 1979, hot on the heels of the live At Budokan and its Top 10 take on "I Want You to Want Me". Tom Werman produced for the third straight time, and the Rockford, Illinois gang went big: the sixties-style guitar pop and the hard-rock wallop are both still here, but now they're buffed up and blown up to arena size.
The title track is the grabber, a pumping, pounding pop rocket with a hook the size of a water tower. The record became the band's most commercially successful studio album, climbing to No. 6 on the Billboard 200 and going platinum within a few months.
