	Rolling Stone : Foreigner's Double Vision: Foreigner
		The Nineties were trying times for Foreigner, even before the tumor was found in the middle of lead singer Lou Gramm's head.
		Jones recruited a new singer and cut a back-to-basics Foreigner album, Unusual Heat, while Gramm, having tasted solo success with two albums in the late Eighties, released a sharp, albeit not-quite-right for the times, pop-metal album with his new band, Shadow King.
		And though Gramm and Jones remain committed to finishing a new Foreigner album (their shooting for next spring), both are happy to see their successful if often underrated history tended to with proper respect.

		Foreigner's leader from the beginning has been British guitarist Mick Jones, who first broke into the music biz as a "hired gun" of sorts, appearing on recordings by George Harrison and Peter Frampton, and as part of a later-day version of hard rockers Spooky Tooth.
		Foreigner's self-titled debut was issued in 1977 and became an immediate hit on the strength of the hit singles "Feels Like the First Time," "Long, Long Way From Home," and the aforementioned "Cold As Ice," as the album would eventually go platinum five times over.
		While the album was another big seller and turned out to be their most straight-ahead musically, both Gramm and Jones felt that the album failed to break any new ground, something that they sought to correct on their next album.

		The album was highlighted by the pulsating roar of "Jukebox Hero" and the churning, futuristic hyper-funk of "Urgent" which included the critically acclaimed soaring sax solo of Junior Walker.
		Foreigner's then-label, who were eager to see the two main members of the group reunite when a European release of their greatest hits sold nearly 700,000 copies in 1991.
		Moonlight, the band's first album reuniting guitarist Mick Jones and vocalist Lou Gramm since 1987, Foreigner kicked into the Nineties with unleashed abandon and ferocity-- and what may well be their strongest album ever in a long line of multi-platinum smashes.

	Inside Information: The Foreigner Files - Lou Gramm Band
		The album of 10 songs (eight of which were co-written with Turgon) was a foray into a much rougher and less polished rock and roll style than Gramm was used to seeing while in Foreigner.
		Foreigner at this point was putting a lot of pressure on Gramm to abandon the tour to support Ready Or Not, and return to the studio to finish off Inside Information, so that they could tour in support of it.
		Foreigner canceled their planned 1988 US tour in support of the album and began to focus on whether or not to continue with a new singer.

	Majicat - Cat Stevens Scrapbook - Zoo World Magazine - Foreigner Record Review
		The album never gets higher than number 192 on the trade charts but this latest singer-songwriter is hailed as the new sage of modern consciousness as his fame and fortune begin to spread.
		Foreigner is even more significant than the phenomenon of the artist and his words cutting doggedly yet triumphantly through the maze.
		Yet one of the prime discoveries apparent on this album is that Cat Stevens is a musician of clever creativity.

	4 Review \| Foreigner \| Reviews @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com
		After establishing themselves as a reliable FM Album Rock with their first three albums, Foreigner was focused on starting off the 1980's with a grand slam of an album.
		A lyrical standout comes from the album's biggest hit, "Juke Box Hero" which chronicles the rise to stardom of a young boy who "stands in the rain" outside the building from which his favorite band is playing.
		The formula was the same on all of their albums except 4 made use of the popular synthesizers of the time period more than their 70's releases.

	Amazon.ca: Agent Provocateur: Music: Foreigner (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Foreigner's fifth album is my least favorite Foreigner album of the 1970's-80's period but it's a little bit better than the stuff they've done in the 1990's.
		Because this album was a follow up to the monster album "Foreigner 4", and because of some of the weaker songs on the album, the album has been maligned by a number of reviewers and critics.
		If Foreigner had not released "4", it may well be that some fans would have regarded this album as their best, or one of their best.

	Rock Ahead: CD Album: Foreigner - Foreigner 4 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Whilst the album was probably the best of their career at this point there are three key tracks here.
		Foreigner 4 is more than a three track album containing as it does some excellent material in the shape of Girl On The Moon and some great pop rock moments with Luanne, Break It Up and Don't Let Go.
		Foreigner 4 is a classic album and in the absence of any new material from the band a timely reminder of just how good they are.

	Bryan Adams @ CanEHdian.com
		The album was not released initially in the U.S., although "Hiding from Love" (written by Adams and folksinger Eric Kagna) was issued as a single and reached number 43 in the dance chart.
		Meanwhile, although he was still putting the finishing touches on his album, he had committed to begin a concert tour in support of it, and on June 8, 1991, he had gone back on the road in Europe co-headlining with ZZ Top.
		On this album, Adams changed gears, abandoning Lange in favor of several songwriting collaborators, the most prominent of whom was Gretchen Peters, and completely eschewing ballads in an attempt to reestablish himself as a rocker.

	Station Avenue Productions with Foreigner
		By then, the band shifted its musical focus from uptempo rockers to more commercial "power ballads." His solo album yielded a Top 10 hit, but Gramm was not able to actively tour as a solo act because of the continual demands of Foreigner.
		The meeting two regroup came about as the result of an effort by Atlantic Records, Foreigner's then-label, who were eager to see the two main members of the group reunite when a European release of their greatest hits sold nearly 700,000 copies in 1991.
		Upon completion of a 1999 summer tour with Journey, Foreigner will resume work on the new studio album, which many insiders feel will be their strongest since Foreigner IV.

	Majicat - Melody Maker - March 1974
		He says he found the material from "Foreigner" difficult to get across on stage as it was very much a "studio" album.
		I think the things we play from ‘Foreigner’ could get loose on stage, but most of my music Is pretty regulated, We’re doing ‘Later’ from the ‘Foreigner’ album, but we don’t know yet whether it’ll last three minutes or seven.
		Music for Cat’s albums has been published in the form of fan books, and these are Foreigner (£1.25), Catch Bull at Four (£1.50), Teaser And The Flrecat (£1) and one which incorporates songs from "Mona Bone Jakon" and "Tea For The Tillerman" (£1.25).

	JamBase Tickets \| Sat. Jul 26th, 2003 - Eddie Money @ Paramount Theater - 17 South St., Middletown, NY 10940
		Gramm had been frustrated with the long production program that Foreigner often put its songs through as well as what he felt was an inequality in the acceptance of his song and melody writing ideas.
		There was skepticism and not much support on the part of the Foreigner bandmates, who feared if the release did badly it would impact upon future Foreigner projects.
		A song that has originally been written for the Ready Or Not album (but didn't make the final album cut) was taken and the lyrics adjusted a little to fit the movie's theme.

	Lou Gramm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Gramm was the drummer with the band Black Sheep when the band, and their 1975 album Encouraging Words were noticed by Mick Jones who was then looking for a lead vocalist for a new band he was forming.
		This was followed by a Foreigner album Inside Information and a second solo album Long Hard Look in 1989, which brought two more solo hits with "Just Between You and Me" reaching the top 10, and "True Blue Love" also reaching the top 40.
		The new group's 1991 self titled album was released by Virgin Records but was not a success, and the group shortly disbanded.

		Critics to this day still slag the album although it sold over two million units and produced huge hits with the title track and “Dirty White Boy.” The first 80’s release for Foreigner was simply titled Foreigner 4 and saw the band change producers for the fourth time in as many albums.
		He tells the real reason why there was not a new Foreigner album released and he discusses his plans for the future.
		The next album had “I Want To Know What Love Is” on it and I was not involved with a lot of the songs on the album because I didn’t like the direction it was going.

	The Album Listen-a-thon
		First off, the album I have belonged to Nance Moberley and she loved Dan a lot, cause she wrote it all over the album cover I have.
		Foreigner beat them to the punch by 10 years or more with "At War With The World".
		Though the picture on the cover shows a live band shot, this is a studio album, however I would bet that they recorded it 'live' instead of piece by piece.

		What should be kept in mind, however, is that Stevens's peers in 1973 were acts like Jethro Tull and Yes that were penetrating the top of the charts and selling millions of records while creating elaborate musical suites, and that they in turn were taking their cue from Abbey Road and Tommy.
		Actually, the suite is full of compelling melodic sections and typically emotive singing that could have made for an album side's worth of terrific four-minute Cat Stevens songs if only he had composed them that way.
		The decline seemed more extreme, though, because Foreigner clearly was intended to be better than its predecessors.

	Foreigner - Head Games
		Foreigner tries hard to forget they're a phenomenon -- a self-contained economy with their own Gross Platinum Product -- and gets down to the unfinished business of being a rock & roll band.
		After reaffirming their roots with a passing nod at the New Wave forces yapping at their heels, Foreigner trots out the English art-rock trappings that have always worked for them in the past.
		Foreigner plays its full throated, rich brand of hard rock again on its third album, which may wind up being the most successful of the lot.

	Cat Stevens : Foreigner - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Between 1970 and 1972, Cat Stevens recorded four albums in the same manner, using the same producer and many of the same musicians, painting the album covers, and assigning the records ponderous titles.
		But the album's second side, featuring the Top 40 hit "The Hurt," demonstrates that, even in the four-minute range, his songwriting and arranging were becoming overly busy.
		On the whole, Foreigner marked a slight fall-off in quality from Catch Bull at Four, which itself had marked a slight fall-off from Teaser and the Firecat.

	Urgent by Foreigner Songfacts
		Before recording this album, 2 members of the group left, trimming the band from 6 members to 4.
		This, along with the fact that it was their fourth album, explains the title, 4.
		Not long after the relase of the Foreigner album, he was Blinded By Science, so to speak, and made his own name for himself in the pop world.

		Foreigner's next album, their fourth and appropriately named 4, was their biggest hit containing "Jukebox Hero", "Waiting for a Girl Like You", and "Urgent".
		Their next album, Agent Provocateur, gave them their only #1 hit, a gospel-inspired ballad backed by the New Jersey Mass Choir, "I Want to Know What Love Is".
		Foreigner today is a staple of classic rock stations, and they still maintain legions of fans who admire and adore their innovative arena rock anthems, which have had a major effect on music and culture in the United States.

	Foreigner
		Foreigner's influences are hardly alien -- two parts Bad Company and one part ELO spiced with just a pinch of Roxy Music.
		Endowed with an assured studio sound and strong writers (lead guitarist Mick Jones wrote or collaborated on all the material), Foreigner's debut album speaks with the kind of authority increasingly common in the Seventies hard-rock world of instant stars.
		Foreigner clearly has the moves to step into the big time, but needs a bit more time to gel before the group can offer more than already proven formulas.
