4, also known as Foreigner 4, is the fourth studio album by the British-American rock band Foreigner, released on July 2, 1981, by Atlantic Records. The album's name signifies that it is the band's fourth studio album and also the fact that the band's membership had reduced from six to four members. Musically, it showed Foreigner shifting from hard rock to more accessible mainstream rock and pop music.
This is another of Rhino's audio Blu-rays with a static menu, and unfortunately (though perhaps understandably given the aforementioned bonus stereo track), the disc has been authored once again to force listeners to navigate through the track list to get to the audio codec choices. Changing codecs starts the song over. Again, perhaps due to the "dual menus" and slightly different track lists, even the audio button on your remote will not allow toggling between codecs. Screenshots 9 and 10 show how the colors/fonts change when you scroll before choosing a track.
Foreigner 4 features Dolby Atmos and DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 options, and my hunch is the only complaint some fans may have with this release is that the original stereo mix is not included on either the audio Blu-ray or any of the CDs. That said, both of the options on the Blu-ray are beautifully rendered, and while going from a CD player to a Blu-ray player is not the most authoritative (let alone convenient) way to do a "side by side" comparison, I didn't hear anything so odd in the stereo remix that it caught my attention. The Atmos mix is really nicely spacious and has clear engagement of the side and rear channels throughout. Several nice moments, like those diaphanous synths that begin Waiting for a Girl Like You, also nicely waft overhead in the Atmos version. There's also really appealing discrete channelization at times, as in (more) synth punches emanating from the rear speakers in Night Life, while guitars blast out of the front speakers. Gramm's inimitable voice soars above everything, though backups are really well splayed (tending toward the rear) and to my ears a bit more evident in the Atmos version than the stereo.
