• 5.0 out of 5 stars Head Games: MFSL Gets It Right

  Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2013

  Foreigner is one of those seventies bands that I never outgrew, and they're still on my playlist. Call me old, but call me an old rocker. MFSL has bewildered me in the past. The Foreigner albums on MFSL are packaged differently. The Foreigner debut album on MFSL SACD Hybrid came with a mild track listing insert with lyrics, and it was four mild pages. Album art was recreated well, but...I like holding something and reading when I listen to the music, so inserts are important to me. Double Vision came pretty much stock and didn't have any lyric inserts at all. Pretty bland and vanilla, but the music was great. Now comes Head Games, my wife's favorite Foreigner album. And MFSL finally gets it right. A twelve page booklet filled with album art and lyrics made my day. There's no arguing that MFSL has remastered these albums and they're easily the best versions I've found. I don't do a lot of digital music...downloading the songs only still feels like I'm being shortchanged. That young teen of the seventies is still in this old veteran's body, and that kid inside still loves the tactile experience of an album: holding the liner notes, reading the lyrics, looking at the album art. Head Games gets it right. Now, let's hope Foreigner 4 does the same. I highly recommend the MFSL Hybrid SACD version of Head Games. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

• 5.0 out of 5 stars No-one could play this style of music better than Foreigner

  Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2017

  I am awfully glad now that I finally have both best AOR kings Foreigner's albums. They're remasters and the sound is as good as you can imagine. I first heard "Head games" in 1981 being a student at high school. It was LP and I've literally listened to it till it was so worn, you cannot imagine. I knew every song by heart, and now when I'm nearly 55, "Love on the Telephone" and "Blinded by Science" still make me shiver with excitement. That was time when no-one could play this style of music better than Foreigner and arguably it remains so nowadays.

  This Album is a must have! It contains hits such as "Head Games", "Dirty White Boy", "Love on the Telephone", "Women", "Seventeen" and "I'll Get Even With You". Head Games is a truly amazing album, I guarantee you'll enjoy every song on here, including the bonus content! "Zalia" is a song that was previously unreleased but is included on the Expanded edition. The CD is also remastered so you know you'll be getting top notch quality sound! Not their best album but if you're looking for song good ol' rocking songs, this is the album for you! I highly recommend Head Games, 5 star album!!!

• 4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Remaster

  Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2014

  A classic album - though not as many big hits as some other foreigner albums - all together a very strong album with great songs. This remaster just improves on everything overall - Lou's voice is more lifelike and the overall presentation of instruments and particularly the depth of the bass frequencies makes for more enjoyable listening. A must for any Foreigner fan who enjoys great songs... particularly if you have a playback system that can take advantage of the quality of this remaster.
  

• 5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome !!!!

  This is by far my favorite Foreigner CD. Head Games rocked....Although I had bought both Foreigner 1 and 2, I was not convinced of their music. It just sounded corporate and therefore, not convincing. However, it was foreigner 3, Head Games,that blew me away and sealed my approval of their music.

  It's not in the amount of records you can sell, any band can do that with the right production team, it's about the quality of the grit that acompanies the songs. And man, there was plenty of rock-roll grit on foreigner's third release.

  I highly recommend buying this often ignored CD.
