Enjoyable, but not their best

Review Score: (6/10)
To my ears, Lou Gramm sounds like he is simply going through the motions on much of this album. He's never sounded uninspired like this before or since. I can only surmise that he was completing a contractual obligation to make this record, as Foreigner DID have a different singer on their following album 'Unusual Heat'. That being said, Gramm is such an excellent singer that he still sounds great anyway. The songs venture a bit more into 80's radio poprock than hard rock. Mick Jones' writing is as strong as ever and is the guitar playing. Sonically, this album is a step back from the previous one - 'Agent Provocateur', as the production isn't as elaborate or complex. In fact, it sounds more like the '4' album to me.
