INSIDE INFORMATION illustrates the disappointing creative decline of Foreigner during the late 1980s and early 90s.
During this era, it seemed that Foreigner, Journey and Bad Company were making albums that sounded so similar that it was
hard to sort out who was who! Their prior album AGENT PROVOCATEUR had been difficult enough to make peace with due to its
overt commercial aspirations, but this one was the final straw for many old fans. With no new hard rock anthems in their
songwriting well, Foreigner offers up several AOR hits with "Say You Will" and "I Don't Want To Live Without You". Casual
fans may have found no issues with these songs, but hardcore fans sniffed the formulaic songcraft and abandoned ship.
"Heart Of Stone" is OK and "A Night To Remember" is probably the only track that contains any elements of the original
Foreigner sound.
