In Color

In Color is Cheap Trick's second studio album from 1977, pairing punchy hard-rock guitar and driving rhythms with tight vocal harmonies and catchy pop hooks. The core lineup of Robin Zander, Rick Nielsen, Tom Petersson and Bun E. Carlos delivers concise, hook-driven songs, including the studio version of "I Want You to Want Me" and the rousing opener "Hello There," that highlight the band's blend of power pop melody and rock energy. The production favors bright, polished tones and compact arrangements, and the album is noted for its vivid, colorful cover art.
