Talk:Gonna Raise Hell

Critical reception

 * Audio Magazine found the track amusing but complained that Cheap Trick was willing to go so far as to record a disco track in order to be successful.

I'm not familiar with Audio Magazine. Would their focus have been narrow enough to where it didn't occur to them that seemingly everyone in the music industry was doing a disco record in 1979? Witness the disco albums of Aretha Franklin and Ethel Merman, "Street Player",...oh hell, the examples are truly too numerous to mention. In the real world, they would call that a trend. Or alternately, someone was shrewd enough to bring an underground phenomenon into the mainstream on a large scale. The music industry certainly succeeded in the latter regard: in 1979, my school banned whistles after they were prominently featured in "Bad Girls". To keep from babbling forever, was the above comment pulled out of thin air without regard to context? I only ask because there happens to be a lot of that on Wikipedia.
