No End In Sight: The Very Best of Foreigner: Foreigner

Rhino Records

By The Atomic Chaser

ForeignerFor over three decades, rock icons Foreigner, powered by Mick Jones’ primal guitar and Lou Gramm's incredible lead vocals, have been filling arenas and delivering hits. Their signature songs are cornerstones of the classic rock arena, and their worldwide success, beginning with their 1977 self-titled debut album, now over 4 times 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 set, 'No End In Sight: The Very Best of Foreigner'. It’s a 32-song set featuring one new song, "Too Late", an AOR gem that is certain to be another hit for the band. Three live acoustic versions of, "Say You Will", "Starrider" and "Juke Box Hero / Whole Lotta Love ". Spanning 1977 to the present, the two disc set features essential hits including "Cold As Ice", "Hot Blooded", "Double Vision", "Feels Like The First Time", "Urgent", and much more. 'No End In Sight: The Very Best of Foreigner' is a reminder of how great of a band Foreigner truly is. It also gives their fans a heads up of greatness,that is still to come. What's so unique about Foreigner is that at one turn, they'll make a really rocking song like "Long Way From Home," and then come up with a soulful number like "I Want To Know What Love Is." They constantly manage to walk that fine line between pop princes and arena rockers. When it comes to putting out great songs for Foreigner, just like the title of the album says, there is NO END IN SIGHT.
