Free Music Review: Head Games
Hit: 3 Stars
Head Games was Foreigner's third studio album & it went to #5 on the charts. Three singles from the album charted: "Dirty White Boy" (#12), "Head Games" (#14) & "Women" (#41); for the first time they didn't have any singles make it into the Top 10. These weren't the first hints that things were changing for Foreigner; Head Games was the weakest album they had released of their first three. Ed Gagliardi (bass) was now gone, replaced by Rick Wills. This personnel move, in my opinion, was a downgrade.
Head Games doesn't really have any outstanding songs, some of them are very good, but none of them are on the same par of the very best stuff from the first two albums. The album opens with the hit "Dirty White Boy" which is a good start. It's an arena-ready song that gets the fan to moving. "Love on the Telephone" follows which is just as good. The promise developed from the opening two songs falters with "Women", though it was a hit, it's only an average song. "I'll Get Even With You" gets us back on track. "Seventeen" is catchy but it's territory that's been covered lyrically hundreds of times. it's only average. The title song "Head Games" is another song that's not among Foreigner's best. "The Modern Day" has Mick Jones doing the lead vocal but once again the song is average. "Blinded By Science" seems to drag on forever & is below average. "Do What You Like" is a step above the previous one but nothing special though it has a good melody. The original album closes with "Rev on the Red Line" a song about fast cars but fails at being a good song.
The album is an average one; three good songs, six average songs & two sub par songs.
There is but one bonus track, "Zalia", which is an heretofore unreleased outtake. It doesn't rise above the ordinary either. The liner notes are pretty good & lyrics are included. It's unfortunate but Foreigner stumbled badly with this album. They would redeem themselves somewhat with their next release, Four. After that Foreigner, for all intents & purposes, disappeared.
