Foreigner-Foreiger (9/10)

 

It's funny how This Band became AOR smooth balladeers later on (Balladeers might seem a stretch but not really, lol)

 

For their first 4 They were pretty much a decidedly hard rock band.  Girl like You on 4 sealed their AOR label though. But anyway i love this debut.  it has such swag to it.

I used to feel the same, but at some point I changed my mind. Epping Forest is great fun for me now. I love singing along trying to remember all the characters and nail all the accents!

the first 4 are my fav too.  they became so polished and kinda toothless after.

 

My order

4

Double Vision

Head Games 

Debut

 

but they're great albums

 

the following albums are all too slick and synth driven.  i normally don't mind that but i think of Foreigner as a guitar driven band and it took a backseat after 4.

 

Mick

[bluefox4000]

Foreiger

 

Agent Provaceteur (7/10)

Inside Information (5/10)

 

Agent Has some songs that are worth it but a disappointing follow up after 4

 

And inside Info.  Uhhhh no  Might as well be f***ing Mr. Mister (sorry Segue, lol) just bland.  

 

Mick

[bluefox4000]

Foreigner

 

Unusual Heat(3/10

Mr. Moonlight (6/10)

Can't Slow Down (6/10)

 

Yea my final verdict on this band is i LOVE em but only those first 4.

 

everything after they became to ballad soft rock focused.  Can't slow down is like HALF ballads.  and here's my thing.  i love ballads....i do.  But story time.  Foreigner kinda BLOWS at ballads.  sure it gave them success.  However people confuse Success with good........don't work like that my dudes

 

Give the first 4 where they melt my face with guitar driven rock.

One of my favourite album covers of all time. I've always thought this a stunning sleeve design!

this album has grown on me immensely.  Still has nothing on those first 4 though.  IMO.
