Standing on the Edge is the eighth studio album by the American rock group Cheap Trick, released by Epic in 1985.

Mixer Tony Platt was called in, and as a result, keyboards and electronic drums were featured more prominently than the band and Douglas had intended.

Upon release, Billboard stated: "Cheap Trick's checkered recent career could get a boost from this spirited set; lusty, layered production spotlights the band's sense of guitar-driven rock classicism.

"[6] David Fricke of Rolling Stone commented: "Cheap Trick roars back to life with its best collection of bubblegum bazooka rock in years.

Standing on the Edge recombines the devious Beatlesque gestures and Who-ish arena-rock jolt of the band's brief platinum period with melodic authority and playful wit.
