Foreigner
promptly followed up its blockbuster debut with the equally successful
Double Vision
LP in 1978, which featured the FM mega-hits
"Hot Blooded"
and the driving title track. Opting not to mess with a good formula, the band wisely sticks to the polished
hard rock
sound that made its first record such a hit. Aside from the big singles, other highlights include the swaggering
"Love Has Taken Its Toll"
and the more restrained
"Blue Morning, Blue Day."
As always,
