Standing on the Edge is an album by the American rock group Cheap Trick, released in 1985. Jack Douglas, the producer of Cheap Trick's debut album Cheap Trick, made a return for this release, bringing back a hard-edged rock sound that the band had departed from since All Shook Up in 1980. However, due to a commercial slump that the band had been suffering since the beginning of the decade, the album sold poorly. Critics and listeners alike have offered conflicting views on this album in the context of the Cheap Trick canon, rating it as both alongside the band's best and worst releases.
This was also the third studio album recorded with bassist Jon Brant, who replaced Tom Petersson from 1980 until Petersson's return in 1988.
"Tonight It's You", the single, is the most well known song from this album, having a video that was aired on MTV, and having been released on multiple greatest hits compilations. "This Time Around" has achieved similar success, although to a lesser extent.
This album is currently out of print in the United States.
