Foreigner – 4

Dig those graphics! This tribute to Foreigner features a gaggle of MOR pop/rock combos tackling many of the band's biggest songs. They do that a fine job – Lou Gramm isn't the easiest guy to sound like, and most of the players here pull it off ably. But while it's always satisfactory, Tribute to Foreigner is more slick than spectacular. But that giddy crunch that defined "Hot Blooded" and "Feels Like the First Time" isn't here, seemingly replaced by carefully paced but ultimately quite soulless replicas.

Mr. Moonlight is the eighth studio album by British-American rock band Foreigner, released by Arista Records in Europe on 23 October and by BMG Entertainment in Japan on 23 November 1994. In the United States and Canada, it appeared in early 1995 on the Rhythm Safari label. Recorded at seven different studios across the States, the album was produced by Mick Jones, Lou Gramm, and Mike Stone, with an additional production by Phil and Joe Nicolo. It was Foreigner's last studio release until Can't Slow Down (2009). The album was the first since Inside Information (1987) and appeared to be the final to date full-length release with original lead singer Lou Gramm, who had left the group in 1990 but returned two years later.
