The result is an album of stark dualities. Side one (the "hits" side) features the grinding paranoia of “Tooth and Nail” and the kinetic “That Was Yesterday.” Side two descends into the atmospheric, featuring saxophonist Junior Walker on the soul-drenched title track. The 2013 24/192 FLAC rip does not smooth over these fractures; instead, it reveals the space between the musicians. Foreigner - Agent Provocateur -2013- -FLAC 24-192-

While the album contains the driving rock anthems fans expected, such as "Tooth and Nail" and "Reaction to Action," it is best known for its balladry. The album’s centerpiece, "I Want to Know What Love Is," became the band's biggest hit and is often cited as one of the greatest power ballads of the 1980s. The song featured the New Jersey Mass Choir, adding a gospel dimension that broadened the band's appeal beyond standard rock audiences. Foreigner - Agent Provocateur (2013) The release in
