Praised by fans & critics alike?? Which planet are we referring to? I thought/think it's fabulous. But I don't recall reading/hearing heaps of praise over it even tho it highly deserved it. The music biz,along with old school fans (of Gramm) were NOT going to accept Foreigner w/o Gramm. No matter HOW great the material sounded (obviously). Hands down. This and-- sitting here in Rochester,you knew that was one album that would get zero push here w/o Lou involved. Hell- they never played a drop of Mr. Moonlight WITH Lou on board. Gotta love the music biz.... T
