4


This was the record that made Foreigner explode. Urgent and Juke box hero are great rockers, together with ballad Waiting for a girl like you.

You're not shy, you get around
You wanna fly, don't want your feet on the ground
You stay up, you wont come down
You wanna live, you wanna move to the sound

Got fire in your veins
Burnin hot but you dont feel the pain
Your desire is insane
You cant stop until you do it again


10/10 classic status

Foreigner, live in germany


What happens when people who love the music make also the package for the music. This is an non-official, made for fans, for the fans. And it is awesome.
Full concert from 81 and 4 tracks from 85. 4 and agent provocateur tour. Indispensable.

My collectible version is DVD+CD, great! :-D

Both performances are pro-shot and the quality is outstanding. Foreginer at its very top.

Tracks for the 1981 show are:
Long long way from Home, Dirty white Boy,
Luanne, Cold as Ice, Waiting for a girl like You,
Feels like the first Time, Starrider, Urgent,
Juke box Hero and Hot Blooded
Tracks for the 1985 show are:
I want to know what Love is, Reaction to Action, Hot Blooded and Juke box Hero

Credit to fan 'sylum. Awesome work, guys!!

10/10 great to have

Agent provocateur


I will fight tooth and nail, count on me i will not fail you ...
we can't be strangers, you mean too much to me ...

Rocks!. Yes, it was the foreigner factor ;-)
Often accused as Journey ... too many ballads...
Tooth and nail, that was yesterday, the famous I want to know what love is -I guess everybody knows, but me, I had to buy this record to know it :-S-, a love in vain, 2 different worlds ...
They knew how to rock, and to be softer, Foreigner deserves a place in the kingdom of heart breaker ballads, power ballads and medium tempos. They are the ones who can dispute Journey the highest place in AOR
Agent provocateur and 4 are the best records from this band, but in the others you still will find four or five great songs per record.
This one I got as a gift from my girlfriend (love & kisses), and it was a great surprise :-)

9/10 a must buy

Mr Moonlight

When I first heard it, I saw it was no more classic Foreigner ... :-(
but ... there were pretty damn good songs: White lie, rain, under the gun, hand on my heart, and overall the one which haunts me most: running the risk, where Lou sings his heart off, a passioned song with feelin'...
So it is true, no more classic songs, but a Foreigner record can not be bad. The team Lou-Mick was a powerful one, and sadly will not be in the next studio record, which might exit out by middle year ...

8/10 very nice to have

The very best and Beyond ... Foreigner

A great compilation with 3 new songs, 2 of them outstanding: With heaven on our side and prisoner of love. Lyrics included, but just for the new songs
This is a great way of making a greatest hits.
Nearly all of their hits are here:

Cold as ice, feels like the first time
,
hot blooded, double vision,
head games, rev on the red line,
urgent -please see that saxo solo! amazing-,
waiting for a girl like you,
that was yesterday, I want to know what love is...

Just missing: Long long way from home, starrider... but you can not ask for more in one CD only. I would not have minded to be a 2cd compilation.

Composition teamed Jones/Gramm is perfect, Lou's voice is also full of feeling and power.

Did I say I love Foreigner... without a doubt with Journey, the kings of aor, heart- breaking/ breathing ballads who also rock with power.

10/10 brilliant

Outside looking in

Another great discovery last year but bought this one, at the same time & vein than escape into the sun.
Bruce, Lou Gramm's partner songwriter, had not only good compositor skills but a superb voice, which can even match lou's... where has he been all these years?


These tears must fall, living a lie, walk through fire, any other time, on a wing and a prayer ...
it seems you are listening foreigner at its best.
Aor/hard rock as you prefer to label it, the truth is that the music is great. Reaching for a classic status. Hard to get recognition, enough deserved ...

Enough said.

10/10 brilliant
