2006 CD Warner Bros. - LC 02982



Atlantic/Rhino's 2006 double-disc The Definitive Collection is a truncated version of Rhino's 2000 double-disc Jukebox Heroes: The Foreigner Anthology, missing nine songs and featuring an edited, abbreviated set of liner notes adapted from the 2000 comp. There are no big hits absent -- all the expected songs are here; what's not are a pair of tunes from Mick Jones' first band, Spooky Tooth, a pair of latter-day cuts from Foreigner, plus a few album tracks along the way -- but for the kind of fan that wants to invest in a comprehensive two-disc anthology, such items are missed, perhaps even necessary, since they add crucial elements to the full portrait of the band. Because of this, the very existence of The Definitive Collection is a little puzzling: Foreigner already had an excellent two-disc collection in their catalog and for those fans who only wanted the hits, 2002's Complete Greatest Hits served that need (plus, there was a single-disc 2002 collection called The Definitive out in Europe). Which doesn't mean The Definitive Collection is bad, of course. Anybody looking for all the hits, including Lou Gramm's peerless "Midnight Blue" and a little more, will be well-served by this. But if given the choice -- which most consumers are, since both The Definitive Collection and Jukebox Heroes are on the market simultaneously -- there's no reason to select this over its more comprehensive cousin.

Stephen Thomas Erlewine - AllMusic.com



One of the top bands of the '70s and '80s, Foreigner-powered by Mick Jones' primal guitar and Lou Gramm's indelible vocals-became arena rock superstars with over two decades of hits and more than 50 million in record sales. The group's signature songs are cornerstones of the classic rock canon, and their worldwide success, beginning with their 1977 self-titled debut album, now over 4X platinum, towers above most bands of their era. With six consecutive albums in Billboard's Top 10-four of them Top 5-Foreigner's driving, hard-edged but soulful sound is as urgent as ever, and their "Hot Blooded" legacy has never sounded better than on Rhino's new 2-CD Definitive Collection of their top hits and greatest tracks.

A fine introduction to the band that, for many, typifies the AOR genre, THE DEFINITIVE FOREIGNER features their groundbreaking first hit, "Feels Like the First Time," as well as subsequent million-sellers like "Cold as Ice" and the scorching rocker "Dirty White Boy." Further sweetening the pot are such late-1970s classics as "Rev on the Red Line" from their controversial HEAD GAMES album, as well as the '80s anthems "Juke Box Hero," from 4, and "That Was Yesterday," from AGENT PROVOCATEUR.
