[1984] Foreigner, "Agent Provocateur"

Why?: Part of a 5-albums-for-$20 set that I bought purely on the strength of "Cold As Ice".

Tell me more!:
I really enjoyed "4", the album so I expected to really enjoy this album, but I was wrong.

The mega-hit "I Want To Know What Love Is" surprised me with its Bruce Springsteen sounding verse, but the chorus is so syrupy it's unpleasant to revisit.

The rest of the album is forgettable, with none of the pop melodic fun of "4". None.

2/10
