Product Description

Although punk rock's furious revolution threatened to overthrow rock's old guard in 1977, bands like Foreigner came along and proved that there was plenty of room in the marketplace for both the violent, upstart minimalism of punk and the airbrushed slickness of what would be called "arena rock." Along with Boston, Journey, Heart, and others, Foreigner celebrated professionalism over raw emotion. And, looking back, it's easy to see why they sold millions; not everyone in the world was pissed off, dissatisfied with the economy, or even necessarily looking for a change. In fact, for most suburban American teens, Foreigner's immaculate rock sound was the perfect soundtrack for cruising through well-manicured neighborhoods in their Chevy Novas. The album spawned some of the biggest FM hits of 1977, including the anthemic "Feels Like the First Time" and "Cold as Ice," both of which were anchored — like most of Foreigner's songs — by the muscular but traditional riffing of guitarist Mick Jones, the soaring vocals of Lou Gramm, and the state-of-the-art rock production values of the day, which allowed the band to sound hard but polished. As pure rock craftsmanship goes, Foreigner was as good as it got in the late '70s.

スターライダー。この一曲を聴くためだけで...

スターライダー。この一曲を聴くためだけでもこのアルバムには価値がある。マクドナルド節全開のこの曲、この憂い感はあと1年半遅かったら出せない、70年代最後の煌めきだと思う。

みんな先入観を取っ払って素直に聴いてみよ...

みんな先入観を取っ払って素直に聴いてみよう！ルー・グラムのVoは本当に素晴らしいぞ。ロック史上最も不当な評価をされているスーパーヴォーカリストの一人だと思う。個人的にはシンセが曲間を埋め尽くしてしまう「４」以降よりスカスカ感のある３作目までが好きかな。
