She's Got Motion
If Little Sister hadn't been too much of a shock to the system for longtime Trick fans, She's Got Motion was most certainly out to turn some heads. Not in a good way, of course. This is Cheap Trick at their most pandering and misguided. A steaming, synthetic facsimile of a song complete with every schticky studio bell and whistle available at the time. Thankfully, we Trick fans knew that, at the very least, this would be a tune we wouldn't have to hear in concert.
Love Comes
While still a far cry from the Cheap Trick of 1977, much less 1983, this touching ballad ranks as one of the album's highlights and seems just about as radio-ready as anything to be found elsewhere on Standing On The Edge. I mean, if REO Speedwagon can ride "I Do' Wanna Know" and "Live Every Moment" into the Top 40, then why couldn't Trick have done the same with "Love Comes"? Epic Records (also REO's label), I'm lookin' at you.
