Double Vision (Remaster) (CD)

With their accessible AOR sound, Foreigner made it OK for pop fans to listen to hard rock in the '70s. American singer Lou Gramm and UK guitarist Mick Jones (formerly of Spooky Tooth, not to be confused with the Clash guitarist) are responsible for some of classic rock's most instantly recognizable anthems ("Hot Blooded," "Cold As Ice," etc.); however, mammoth hit ballads like the sinisterly seductive "Waiting For a Girl Like You" and the anomalous, gospel-inflected "I Want to Know What Love Is" launched a second life for the band in the 1980s as purveyors of soft rock ballads.

While the U.S. was being swept up by disco mania in 1978, Foreigner issued another hard rock tour de force, DOUBLE VISION. It was unthinkable that the sextet could outdo its solid 1977 self-titled debut, but it somehow did. Lou Gramm and company issued another set of rock radio staples and rock-steady album tracks, the best-known being such perennial arena rockers as "Hot Blooded" and the title track. But the highpoints didn't just stop there--such oft-overlooked compositions as "Blue Morning, Blue Day," "Lonely Children," and "I Have Waited So Long" are just as strong. DOUBLE VISION solidified Foreigner's standing as a '70s rock sensation.
