5.0 out of 5 stars GOOD NOSTALGIC FEELING OF MY FIRST CT ALBUM
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2005

I don't know if it's just me or the must unpopular albums (or the less wanted) from my favorite bands are the ones that I like. Or maybe the circumstances or the timing when I bought them convert them in my favorite ones.

This one is no exception. I bought it a lot of years ago and it was my first CHEAP TRICK album.

Believe it or not, I was looking for "Dream Police" song and I bought the first album I saw. I saw a part of the video on TV and I got hooked. Well, I forgot about "Dream Police" (I found it later) and became "One on One" my personal favorite from Cheap Trick.

I don't understand why a lot of fans say that they don't like this part of their story (early 80's). I have heard this a thousand of times....................Really, what were you expecting? Breakin' the law with Robin Zander on vocals? The Trooper a little bit slower? CHEAP TRICK is the must diverse band I think it exists and on every CD they realease they put something new and special.

One On One has great songs and it's very well produced by QUEEN master Roy Thomas Baker. They get very deep in electronics and keyboards and this totally fits with their style. The only singles they keep playing live are She's Tight and If You Want My Love. Although the rest of the songs are very good too.

This is the first album were Tom Peterson is replaced by Jon Brandt. He is good and to fill Tom's shoes it might be kind of hard but he comes out clean.

An old album that stands the test of time. Recommendable? Of Course!!!

Highlight: One On One, Time Is Runnin, She's Tight

Lowlight: I Want Be Man

5.0 out of 5 stars almost my overall favorite Cheap Trick album
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2013

I had rediscovered this band when I was watching Freaks and Geeks and Gonna Raise Hell was being played in the background. That made me recall when the Dream Police album came out so long ago and I had bought and loved it. But as I don't listen to radio that much anymore it is very easy to lose track of bands these days. But the more I listen to their albums I have to say that they are so SO so So overlooked. What other band has stayed together with ALL members intact and can still tour with Aerosmith. Even though I agree that it should have been the other way around. Aerosmith opening for them. Too bad that their off-humor kind of songs might have put off the fans. But anyway this is one album I would recommend to someone who was curious of Cheap Trick and what a great band they are.

4.0 out of 5 stars Power Pop With A Bazooka tied to its back. KA BOOM!!!!!
Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2008
I remember the first time I hear this cd. I was just getting back into Cheap Trick around 86. I was upgrading my Cheap Trick collection each week from my paycheck from being a bag boy, and when I got to One On One, at first I was taken aback. I had never really heard songs like this before. The songs were aggressive and loud, yet catchy, really catchy, which is something a lot of bands can't seem to pull off, think of the analogy of walking and chewing bubble gum. They were not going for the obvious on this at all. I think they wanted to make a heavy album in the worst possible way, mission accomplished on that front. I do know through band interviews, that they felt hemmed in by how In Color, Heaven Tonight and Dream Police were produced. All Shook Up had a great raw production, but One on One, has a more stripped down sound. If their goal was to show the masses that they were a rock band, with the key emphasis on rock, once again, mission accomplished.

Some of the songs probably needed more work on the arrangement side. Time is Runnin' screams for a break down or a swirl of psychedelia in the middle with trippy alarm clocks going off and sample sounds of the chimes from clock strikes ten something akin to a Beatles backward vocals then storming back to the meat of the song. But hey that is just me.
Saturday at Midnight kind of has a Bowie feel to it and Love's Got A hold On me was a song they played way back in their early days, hence you have the lines from big eyes. Also you have a line from Lovin' Money on Saturday At Midnight as well.
She's Tight was something else. Now If You Want My Love, should have been a huge hit. However the record company did not get behind it and the only reason MTV played it so much was because they did not have a lot of stuff to play. By them playing the song though it got out to the masses and it did become a minor hit. With a proper push... well let's put it this way In Australia it went to #1.

Over all it is a very fun rock record. They took a little from Slade, The Beatles, The Who, and Bowie and Eno and molded something somewhat unique. Take for instance I Want Be Man. To this day I have never heard anything like this. It was industrial way before industrial really existed. One has to give credit to Cheap Trick, they were never afraid to experiment. Think of I Want Be Man as the evil counter part to Styx's lame Mr Roboto. It has a tremendous ending that I think should have went on just a little bit longer.
As for Four Letter Word, it mixes samples of live audience sounds and then just ends on this ferocious thrash jam. I do wish the production could have had some more warmth to it. It would have been nice to have had George Martin Produce this one and Next Position Please as well.
I would say check it out. It is totally original and non formula. This was not new wave, this was just power pop with a bazooka tied to the back of it. KA BOOM!!!!

　好きだった秋の空や隣で自転車に乗ってる友達。空と汗の匂い。当時流行のヘヴィメタとかマイケル・ジャクソン、マドンナとそれに抵抗を感じた自分。好きだった女の子の帰り道を追いかけた坂道や、あまり上手く話せず悲しかった帰り道に聴いていたCheap Trick。個人的にはそういうのを一度に思い帰せる作品。だから、人にはこの作品が好きだって面と向かって言えません。恥ずかしいから。
　それは、例えば誰かがDreams Come　TrueやRadio Head、Stone Rosesから貰った感情と似ていると思う。違うのは、この頃のCheap Trickがやや落ち目だったってこと。
　Cheap Trick版Hard Rockな作品で、持て囃したのは日本人だけ。ただ、She's Tightがアメリカでもそれなりにヒットしたっていう話も聞きます。それでも良いです。年取って死にぞこないになっても多分この作品とずっと一緒に居ます。身勝手だけど、このまま隠れていてほしい。

5.0 out of 5 stars 地味な名盤？？
Reviewed in Japan on February 14, 2005

前作All Shook Upも次作のNext Position Pleaseもいいアルバムですが、リックのギターサウンドを前面に押し出したこの作品がこの時期の彼らの作品で一番カッコイイ。
曲の継ぎ目もホントに短く、次々にたたみ込んでくる曲の質も高い為に、気分はどんどん高揚していくこと間違い無し。
どうも一般的な評価は低いようであるが。。。本当に不遇なアルバムと思います。
ロビンの声もいつになくたくましく、線の細い面は極力押さえこんでいる。CheapTrickはポップ過ぎてチョット。。。と思っている方でも聞いて欲しいアルバムです。
アナログ版で聞いていた時は気づかなかったが、CDをカーステで聞いていたら、11.Four Letter Word～01.I want youに戻る時、カッコ良すぎて思わずアクセルを踏みこんでしまった（笑）。
