Review: Double Vision, Foreigner's second album, solidified the band's place in rock history with its perfect blend of catchy hooks, driving riffs and powerful vocals. Building on the success of their debut, Double Vision pushed the band to new heights, selling over seven million copies in the U.S. alone. The album opens with the fiery 'Hot Blooded', a high-energy anthem that's become a staple of classic rock, thanks to its blistering guitar riff and Lou Gramm's commanding performance. Tracks like 'Blue Morning, Blue Day' and 'You're All I Am' showcase the band's ability to deliver emotion with grandeur, drawing comparisons to Queen's theatricality. The title track, 'Double Vision', is a rock gem, with unforgettable lyrics and production that packs a punch. Though front-loaded with its strongest hits, the second half offers unerrated tracks like the instrumental 'Tramontane' and the soulful 'I Have Waited So Long'. Double Vision proves Foreigner's talent in creating rock anthems that stand the test of time, creating one of the most legendary rock albums of the late 70s.
Review: Ace Frehley’s role in KISS was crucial in shaping the band's signature theatrics. The Spaceman to Simmons’ Demon, Stanley’s Starchild, and/or Criss’ Catman, Frehley’s silver-laced face makeup would of course come star-dusted by quasaring guitar chops, doubly amplifying KISS's popularity in histrionic heavy metal at large. Frehley’s new Now Playing tracklist - a new record from the prima donna rock quartile via Atlantic - highlights his diverse solo career, with'Rock Soldiers’, ‘Breakout’, 'Into the Night’ and 'Calling to You’ all featuring. It also packs the best hits from his time with Frehley's Comet, such as ‘Insane' and 'Dancin' With Danger’.
