2005 Mick Jones reformed Foreigner bandleader once again and touring constantly throughout the world. His idea, Foreigner perform again in the rock Olympus back is good for ten years Charts - very presumptuous abstinence. After the serious illness of the exceptional singer's Lou Gramm with a long recovery period, in which his vocal Constitution zusehens deteriorated and the in-band increases Quärelen, led to the split of the band. The rebirth Foreigner with Kelly Hansen on vocals is in some ways not a bad choice, but enough in any way to the quality of Lou Gramm zoom. Of course, one gram can not present as he had been played there his stuff! Hansen remembers his gangly appearance to the young of the 70 grams and is even more agile! Mick Jones has Hansen's voice in the 4-year tour - evolved considerably phase, but he can not do magic! September 2009 appears in the Walmärkten America "Cant Slow Down". In Europe it was not until mid-2010! The introduction to the album is done with the title track. "Cant Slow Down" reminds with its fragile reef's exploits at the 70. Hansen makes this still a "good figure"! What follows is the thumping pop ballad "In Pieces". Brian Tichy is in his element. Unfortunately, the design is very reminiscent of U2 "With Or Without You"! The first single "When It Comes To Love" with the languid saxophone - hook, makes you think back to the little schmaltzy 78iger "Double Vision" album. Mick Jones so it can still. Unfortunately, he can be reinreden in the production of the album's too much of Marti Frederiksen. In 1999 Lou Gramm was very disappointed that his material was discarded for the planned album Foreigner and Mick Jones rather Fredericksen as co - author favored! Whether "Living In Dream", "Give Me A Sign" or "Angel Tonight" so uncharacteristic sound Foreigner never. Here Mick Jones is more reminiscent of his career start in France! His preference then, R & B! The list of artists he then supervised by his fellow musician Thomas F. Browne is long; Johnny Hallyday, Sylvie Vartan, Ronnie Bird ... The pounding ballad "I'll Be Home Tonight" and "I Can not Give Up", it would have never existed with Lou Gramm. Even at 91iger album "Unusal Heat" with Johnny Edwards on vocals, with "I'll Fight For You" a similar ballad was recorded. In addition, it shows Kelly Hansen's ailing voice! In many passages of "I Cant Give Up" he croaks just yet. Logical - because the recordings for this album found parallel to an exhausting world tour instead! Here Frederiksen has a decisive influence on Mick Jones. Foreigner were always known for perfect and almost sterile production results! And now these "amateurish" setting! Worse it is with the pen "Lonely". Authors of the title's are Steve McEwan and Marti Frederiksen. The foreign authors may mess up a Foreigner album so! What was that. In the 70 for a hick hack, as Ian McDonald and Al Greenwood demanded more influence in the songwriting Mick Jones With "Too Late" there is still a title from the 2008 "No End in Sight" (See my Rezi). Back then it was a reason to buy, because the Best Of album was sweetened with the first and only new recording since 1994! Absolute negative turning point "Fool For You Anyway". 1: The title comes from 77iger debut - album! 2: Mick Jones lets his stepson Mark Ronson arrange the title. Why? Mark Ronson is responsible for the success of the now deceased Suffnudel Amy Winehouse 3: The result is beyond any doubt. This third-rate Bläserarragement and callous performance does not need a man! Especially not a Foreigner fan of the almost first hour !!! Conclusions: pressure Full implementation with many unusual weaknesses in production. Thanks to the many outside compositional influences McEwan or Frederiksen, the term 'Foreigner - Album "almost plagiarism dizziness ... Also: Kelly Hansen manages in any way a Lou Gramm Forgot shut because it is definitely settled vocally half an octave lower. .. The uniqueness of this magnificent band is definitely gone overboard with the departure Lou Gramm's! Extras: DVD: The concert cut together contributions from Berlin and St.Petersburg gradients and shows the game Friends of six musicians. This drum stalk - Monster Brian Tichy even Mick Jones the show! Very successful occupation of the shooting. Clean punctual powerful game reminiscent of Dennis Elliott. Furthermore, there are glimpses into life on tour and Mick Jones visits his former home in Paris he 1964-1971 took ... CD: The remastered classic sound transparent and powerful than the remastered albums. Do we need that? No! Classic should not be adjusted to the zeitgeist !!!
