Marching to Mars

I own every single Sammy Hagar CD, from Montose's self-titled debut, to 2000s "Ten 13." In my opinion, I think "Marching to Mars" is Sammy's finest album. In fact, in my opinion, "Marching to Mars" is one of the best albums of all time. This album doesn't have the arena rock sound of Sammy's pre-VH albums, such as "Standing Hampton" and "VOA." Instead, Sammy heads for a more bluesy direction. Unlike Sammy's two other post-VH albums, Sammy does not have his backing band the Waboritas. Instead, Sammy uses a variety of talented musicians, such as Slash and Matt Sorum (ex GNR) Bootsy Collins, and Mickey Hart. Sammy was out to prove that he didn't need VH to put out good music, and he certainly did! The album has several highlights. "Who has the Right?" is an anti-death penalty song. "Would you do it for free" is a 70s funk song directed towards the VH brothers. The title title track, is an upbeat rocker that you could dance to. "Amnesty is Granted,"which I think is the best song on the album, is a song about forgiveness. "Leaving the Warmth of the Womb" sees a Montrose reunion. If you like Sammy Hagar's music, this is a must have.

Love this cd...... very underrated one of his best

Nice recording quality on this CD... It's by far the best set of music Sammy put out right after the VH split. The tracks on this CD are SO UNDER RATED! It's really exceptional writing and musicianship from Haggar. Too bad so few got to hear it's brilliance.
