Unbelievable song. The staccatto guitars and lead vox are amazing.


Word! I'd like to add that the even when the proceedings start off with that thumping drum and heavy guitar, coupled with the cool intro "Check, one, one one", I'm sold! I may give the tune equal footing to Survivor's Take You On A Saturday.

The "check one, check one" is an AWESOME little thing...Lou does that during the sound check portion of the All Access Tonight dvd...
I LOVE that on the song, though. You hear that and then abruptly Mick with a huge "BBBRRRRRRRR NNNNRRRRRRRRR NNNNNNNNRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!"

The new Foreigner is outstanding. Another example of updating the sound but not losing the essence of what is the group! Kelly is awesome on this album. I was such a huge fan of Lou too.


Kelly kicks ass man, but the new Foreigner record was too slow for me. I loved the title track, "In Pieces" and "When it Comes to Love," but outside of those three, I haven't really found many other songs endearing long-term and the album hasn't even been around that long yet. I was hoping for more rock since Kelly's a dyed-in-the-wool rocker.


Lonely, Give Me A Sign, Angel Tonight? You don't they rock?


Great Stuff. Then again, I'm a huge fan of INSIDE INFORMATION. Many don't like that record.


I do....love it!

And Lou's 2 solo records of the time and the Shadow King album. Agent is killer also.




I find Inside Information to be an album of extreme contrasts - when it's good it's fucking brilliant, when it's bad it's REALLY bad! I don't think the running order helps - to me, the best songs are on the second half.

Heart Turns to Stone is a good opener
Can't Wait - hard rocking, but doesn't do a lot for me.
Say You Will - one of the best two tracks on the album! Love this song!
I Don't Want to Live Without You - possibly one of the most bland, insipid ballads ever?!?! Bores me to tears!
Counting Every Minute - I also think of this as filler. An okay song, but it's obviously an album track.
Inside Information - This is more like it! Good song!
Beat of My Heart - Blends into some of the other mid-tempo rockers on the album IMO. There's not a lot between this, Can't Wait, And Counting Every Minute.
Face to Face - gets us back on track... not exceptional, but a promise of things to come.
Out of the Blue - Personally, my favourite track on the whole album. Absolutely stunning. I wish they'd play this live. My only criticism is that I think this would have been better as an album closer.
A Night to Remember - they've saved one of the best til last! Great song! Lou is brilliant!

Killer track from an underrated album.

AAT DVD clearly a must get then! Gonna check that out Thanks!

M/w I’d like to add a special mention for Stranger In My Own House. Something about the half time rhythm drumming at the start and middle, and then for what it seems like a plethora of guitars giving that “growling”, wild dogs kind of sound. It’s loud, its brash, it’s tad bit extravagant but I don’t care!
