Album Intro：
While other trends fall by the way, corporate rock lives on the ropes, an assessment that should hardly cause Seven and the Sun any sleepless nights; just ask Foreigner. The New Jersey trio's debut boasts that 'every song counts.' Judging from Neal Avron's slick, über-hip production, some nigh-perfect hooks, and vocalist Seven's overwrought, Marc Anthony-meets-Bono-at-the-Eurovision-Song-Finals vocal sense, that sounds like a promise that may turn out to be both figurative and literal. Indeed, the band's initial single, the maddeningly catchy 'Walk with Me,' debuted not on MTV, but on the NBC daytime soap opera Passions. Their music may be the pop equivalent of KFC, but these lads do marketing right. Most of the songs bristle with so much working-class romance and blue-collar hope that they just might make Springsteen and Mellencamp blush if they weren't delivered with such zealous, irony-free urgency. 'Jump (The Velvet Rope)' even assures listeners that guys with multinational label deals are dreamers just like them--even when it's you who's stuck on the wrong side of that velvet rope. All the elements are here to beat Train and Creed to the top of the CHR heap. --Jerry McCulley
