First visit 29 Aug 2009
By D. J. H. Thorn TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I remember Foreigner having instant success with the first two tracks from this album. Far from being raw debutants, the band were clearly already the finished article. Mick Jones's mature songwriting, Lou Gramm's voice, complex harmony vocal arrangements and expert studio craft suggested a band already at a peak. Those two hits revealed the odd dichotomy in their music. 'Feels Like The First Time', a thumping rocker isn't as well-remembered as the poppier 'Cold As Ice', which has the more memorable hook. Whereas they come across in a similar fashion to contemporaries such as Whitesnake on the rock numbers, 'Cold As Ice' sounds more like the sort of thing ELO would have made, while 'Woman Oh Woman' recalls 10cc in their light, post-Godley and Creme phase.

The most instantly appealing four tracks are stacked at the front of the album, 'Starrider' being a melodic pop ballad and 'Headknocker' a romping boogie. Two or three tracks are not quite up to the standard of the rest in terms of content, but performance and production standards are consistent throughout.

An Impressive Debut 8 Jan 2006
Format:Audio CD
This is one of my favourite albums (I bought a vinyl copy in 1983 and replaced it with a CD two years later) and a very impressive debut by any standards.

"Foreigner" was released in 1977 (minus of course the bonus tracks that feature on the present version) and justifiably catapulted six musicians, who had previously had little or no success in other bands, into multi-platinum selling superstars.

The album begins in style with "Feels Like The First Time", the first song Mick Jones-the band's founder member-wrote for the group he was in the process of forming. The song is strong melodically (a hallmark of Foreigner material) and remains one of their most popular recordings.

In addition to another classic track, "As Cold As Ice", the songs on this CD are generally of a high calibre-none is merely a filler. Other highlights include "Starrider," "Damage is Done," "Long Long Way From Home" and "I Need You." The latter track in particular is impressive. It is a majestic song-the longest on the album-and is superbly sung and contains a well-structured guitar solo by Mick Jones. Although a very gifted songwriter, Mick is not renowned for his fretboard skills, but "Foreigner" certainly contains some of his best solos. Indeed, in my opinion the one featured on "I Need You" is the finest he has ever recorded.

Lou Gramm's singing is of course another strong point of this album. On "Foreigner" his excellent voice (sadly damaged in recent years by treatment for a brain tumour), is more prominent in the mix than on some of the band's subsequent albums and its quality, and Gramm's artistry, shine through very clearly.

The songs on this CD are a potent mixture of mainstream rock, ballads, and adult oriented heavy rock-an impressive debut by one of the greatest bands there has ever been.

Very well-done DVD-A 19 Jun 2003
By Bob - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD Audio|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the classic Foreigner release that so many of us 30-somethings remember. If you are planning to buy this DVD Audio disk, then chances are good that you listened to the original vinyl release when you were younger. Well, you're in for a treat.

This release reveals vocal and instrumental details that you've never heard. Lou Gramm has an excellent voice...I never knew this before listening to the 96-24 version. If you were a fan of the original album, then buy this (After upgrading your system to fully appreciate the DVD Audio experience).

This disk has an abundance of extras:

You can listen to the disk as Mick Jones and Lou Gramm talk along. They convey their experiences with each song as it plays on your stereo.

The best bonus, however, is the four demo versions included:
"Feels Like The First Time," "Woman oh Woman," At War With The World," and "Take Me To Your Leader," are included here.

If you buy this DVD-A disk (and you should), do yourself a favor...listen to the demo version of "Feels Like The First Time" before you listen to the regular version of the song.

The demo is absolutely horrible! It's fun and interesting to compare the two. My hat is off to Foreigner and the producers for having the guts to release their demos. Many bands will not do this.

I did not give this release 5 stars because I reserve such a rating for sensational, life-altering products. This is a very good addition to any DVD-A collection. Highly recommended.

A moment in time 8 July 2002
By Uncle Elmer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
The debut Foreigner CD captures the band as they began their ascent into rock stardom and a well deserved success. "Foreigner" is exciting for several reasons but mostly because the CD is so well done and played so beautifully by Lou Gramm, Mick Jones, Ian McDonald, Al Greenwood and company. It's excitment also springs from this CD showing the band at that unique moment when the musical product comes together in perfection.

This debut release by Foreigner caught everyone's attention in 1977 because it was very good rock music and this was proven when the band first toured with the release. I had the pleasure of seeing Foreigner on their first tour and they played the entire debut album so perfectly that their musicianship had me in awe.

One note: please pay attention to the talent of the often overlooked genius of Ian McDonald who added much texture to this release. The guy was very impressive in concert on their first tour. He played several instruments flawlessly and to this day (25 years ago!) I can recall from my seat in the balcony of a small venue near the side of the stage seeing Ian pick up one instrument after another and play them so well. Ian is quite talented and this release shows it.

Without a doubt the debut release from Foreigner captures a great moment in rock as a wonderful band appears on the scene with a great sound. Enjoy!

Sounds Better Than The First Time !!! 3 May 2001
By Ben - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD Audio
I didn't expect much from the two music videos and I wasn't disappointed. The videos are almost 25 years old and look it. The film stock had obviously deteriorated over the years and the video production techniques pre-date MTV. So there wasn't much imagination having the band setup their equipment in front of a railroad car and lip-synching to "Feels Like The First Time" and "Cold As Ice." As for the demos, they pale in comparison to the originals. But there are some nice touches. For example, the sound of marching soldiers at the end of "At War With The World." A nice sound effect that makes you wish they had utilized it for the original. The previously-unreleased "Take Me To Your Leader" is a pleasant surprise. Probably the best of the demos. A nice, raucous, raunchy tune that reminded me of "Lovemaker," from their live CD. But the best was yet to come. After I heard the entire album, I was just awed and floored by the sound quality of the new mixes. It was like listening to the album for the first time. I assume either the songs were new mixes or the improved sound quality allowed the listener to hear things they were unable to hear before. Subsequent listenings made me very nostalgic for those early years of Foreigner and what GREAT music Mick Jones and Ian McDonald made together. I wish the two would just bury the hatchet, get over their clashing egos/lingering bitterness, and reunite for the music. With Lou Gramm as intermediary and referee, of course. Can't wait for the DVD-Audio of the "Double Vision" album. Hopefully, that will be the next planned Foreigner release by Rhino Records.
