 |  | Very underrated...Foreigner's BEST |  |
Yes, thats right. "Inside Information" is Foreigner's BEST album out of their entire catalogue. Sure, there's no MONSTER hits; instead the album trades in epic songs for a SOLID, I repeat, SOLID outing from start to finish. Looking back at Foreigner's earlier efforts ( Self-title debut, Double-Vision, Head games, and 4), I cant help but notice that ALL those albums are ULTIMATELY hit or miss. You hear 3-4 "Instant Classics", followed by 6-7 songs that REALLY miss the mark. If you dont believe me, go listen. "Agent Provocateur" fairs better, and "Inside Information" succeeds on all levels as being an all around "pleasurable" listening experience. First Listen, I was hooked; GREAT songs "Hearts Turn to Stone", "Cant Wait", "Say You Will", "Inside Information",
"Face To Face" "Out of the Blue"
GOOD songs "A Night To Remember", "Counting Every Minute", "Beat of My Heart". Im not a huge fan of "I dont want to Live with out you" but 9/10 aint too shabby.
Stick with the numerous "Greatest Hits" packages for Foreigner, but give "Inside Information" a try; you'll be pleasantly surprised.

I had read some review about this album, it said that this album is not good. I didn't believe that and buy it. This album is GREAT, the same style of Foreigner, excelent songs and lyrics. I think that you will enjoy it. Note: "I don't want to live without you" is the original version (4:53 minutes). Great song too: "Say You wil, Say you won't", "Inside Information", "Out of The Blue".

February 8, 2008 | | 2.5 stars- A pretty mediocre effort, but still is better than the previous studio album | |
I haven't owned this cd since about 1988 because it's just not the Foreigner that I came to know and love in the years 1977 to 1981. The only song that I like to listen to repeatedly is the song "Say You Will". That song is what Foreigner should sound like. Everything else is boring and mediocre. Unless you're a diehard Foreigner fanatic, you should just pass by INSIDE INFORMATION and just stick with their first four studio albums.
June 20, 2006This Foreigner album is a pretty good effort, they can write god songs. I know I wont be popular saying this but I personally prefer a harder edged album like 'Agent Provocateur' or 'Head Games' but this album shows the band can write a diverse array of styles, but I just feel they should focus more on what they do best. Sure, there aren't any bad songs on this album, they're all pretty good, but I think it's real brash hard-rock which is their best asset. This album is just a little too MOR for Foreigner. I mean I'm not saying they should only do hard-rock; 'Out of the blue' is a terrific song, and some of the other ballad's are pretty good too, but I feel their just should be more full-on rockers. That is, of-course, just my opinion. We do have 'beat of my heart' which is another kick-ass number. It's good music, but perhaps not my favourite of Foreigner.
