Have both Foreigner discs. Like both but actually listen to 1 more often. Mix not aggressive enough? Can you tell me specifically why? I'm usually the first to criticize a mix for being too conservative.
Never had the stereo mix for anything but the two big hits, but two tracks really stand out as excellent mixes: Star Rider and Fool For You Anyway. The latter is probably my favorite track: can't imagine it in flat stereo without those engulfing background vocals (and don't really want to).
It occurs to me that it's probably easier to find what you like about a surround mix when you're not familiar with the original (stereo). Otherwise, you end up with "The Missing Tile Syndrome" -- the phenomenon wherein you notice only the one missing tile instead of the other two hundred perfectly-placed ones. A constant source of frustration is surround mixes that seem unbalanced compared to the stereo ("Dreams" from Rumours is a notable example -- backing vocals are too loud and out of balance). Why do remix engineers have to try to fix what ain't broke? I keep wondering if they even do A-B comparisons with the originals. In "Feels Like the First Time", the main rhythm guitar has its level inexplicably lowered during the chorus.
"Cold as Ice" is one track where I might agree the mix is too tame -- I would have had much more going on during the call-and-answer vocal break.
