This is undoubtedly not as good as '4' (it couldn't have been!),but it is still a good record.Down on Love is a great ballad,Reaction to Action is a pretty decent rocker,That was Yesterday is superb,and Tooth and Nail and She's Too Tough are both noteworthy. However, special mention must go to the sublime 'I Want To Know What Love Is', the band's best song and undoubtedly one of the best rock ballads ever. Great playing as usual,fabulous singing from Lou Gramm,and on the whole good songwriting.

Great follow up to "4." Great ballads (That Was Yesterday is my personal favorite). It's interesting to hear the members of the band say that they wish they had never recorded "I Want to Know What Love Is." Sure it sold millions of albums - but it sealed their fate as a lightweight ballad-only band. Personally, I disagree....All points considered Foreigner is a great rock 'n roll band (ballads or otherwise). Highly recommended for Foreigner fans and 80s rock fans.

A mi me parece un bune trabajo...tal vez este eclipsado por "4", de eso no cabe duda alguna. Pero contiene temas fescos llenos de energia como "Tooth and nail" o la rockerilla "Reaction to action" temas donde Lou lo borda y te lleva en medio de cualqier fiesta. En cuanto a la parte mas Aor q decir de "That was yesterday" o "Two differents worlds"...y la balada, para mi la mejor de Foreigner junto con "Waiting for a girl..." en definitiva buen disco tanto este como el siguiente. 7.5/10

Smooth AOR !

From: Carlos A.	Date: July 1, 2006 at 13:22
AOR de calidad como siempre mas en onda 80`s respecto al anterior y aparte de los dos temas conocidos por todos este disco tiene buenos temas entre ellos un tesoro escondido llamado "DOWN ON LOVE" que delicia!!!9/10

From: YIRO SEVENTH	Date: June 23, 2007 at 15:34
OTRA MARAVILLA DEL AOR!!! siguiendo con la buena racha del "4", pero aqui se escuchan un tanto mas duros ("Tooth & Nail" y "Stranger In My Own House"), pero conservando esa melodía y estilos únicos ("That Was Yesterday")... Sin duda, "I Want To Know What Love Is" es un mega clasico, un tema histórico, memorable... por supuesto, HAY QUE TENERLO

Tremenda Obra maestra de AOR!!! Foreigner estas ves con Sonido algo diferente mas fuertes algo agresivo pero con temas de AOR como "That Was Testerday" y una de las baladas mas imprecionante del planeta tierra "I Want To Know Waht Love is", mi favorita para mi la mejor balada de todos los tiempos, conocido por todo el mundo y disfrutado a la vez, Foreigner son tremendos

From: Faron	Date: August 28, 2009 at 19:11
Cracking album,That Was Yesterday is IMO, one of Foreigners best ever songs. I Want To Know What Love Is, a truly great ballad, though my vote goes to Waiting For A Girl Like You a their best ballad.

From: rick kerch vzla	Date: April 14, 2011 at 22:42
Classic...one of Foreigner's must have albums undoubtebly..."That Was Yesterday" & "I Want To Know What Love Is" are 2 timeless tracks...a reference in music actually..."Tooth & Nail","Reaction To Action","Down On Love" & "She's Too Tough"...goodies too...Lou...amazingly amazing!!!.95/100

once more an amazing release by FOREIGNER ! the sound gets more polished and the band seems to be in its highest level.the songwriting is of the highest class and the result is a collection of 3-4 excellent mid tempos like "i want to know what love is","that was yesterday" and of great rockers like "stranger in my own house" and "tooth and nail".classic release for sure
