Foreigner provides a pretty consistent arena rock album with Double Vision. The first side leads in with two great tracks "Hot Blooded" (with some of the worst lyrics ever-- "You don't have to read my mind / To know what I have in mind") and "Blue Morning Blue Day," followed by a pretty strong set to finish off Side A--most notably, "Back Where You Belong" with a fun display of some neat liquid guitar tones and great analog synthesizers. Unfortunately, other than "Double Vision," Side B is lackluster in comparison. With shameless performances, huge guitars, and just a touch of synthesizers, Foreigner's Double Vision is arena rock gold.
7/10
