Double Vision  by Foreigner

A year after the release of Foreigner's debut album, the band enters the Atlantic Records studios and between March and May of 1978 prepares its second album, which will be titled Double Vision, a title derived from the song of the same name that will become the second single of the record.

In Double Vision, Foreigner adopts an arena rock style in its compositions with several elements of American hard rock of that era. The album's compositions are primarily the result of the collaboration between Lou Gramm and Mick Jones. Foreigner has producer Keith Olsen in the studio for the album's production. Apart from the titular song, which was a successful single, Double Vision features two other great songs from the band, the first single, Hot Blooded, and the third single, Blue Morning, Blue Day. All three singles entered the Top-20 of the Billboard. Additionally, this particular album contains the band's one and only instrumental track, the progressive piece Tramontane.

The success in the U.S.A. was immense. Double Vision transformed Foreigner into a group that would now fill stadiums at their concerts. The 7,000,000 copies sold in the U.S.A. alone were enough to achieve such a feat.
