"In The Eye Of The Storm is not going to rub shoulders with the classics." Foreigner's new album is a pleasant souvenir with almost zero atmosphere

Foreigner photoshopped onto a story Manhattan skyline.

Another anniversary for the band, another opportunity to do something special for the fans and all that. Formed in 1976 by guitarist Mick Jones, Foreigner are now five decades old. Cue a bunch of birthday shenanigans of varying quality.

In The Eye Of The Storm is a live album soundtrack to the concert film of the same title, due for release this summer, so named because at the time of recording on Ellis Island, in September 2025, a massive thunderstorm rolled across New York and almost rained off the filming session. Rather than capturing lightning in a bottle, however, this marketing story somewhat overpromises when it comes to thrills and spills. The eye of a storm in this instance is, notably, rather calm, that word more apt when describing the five tracks taken from the event.
