Rob’s Rating: C+ (2.75)


Highlights:

Love or Money

20th Century Man

Run for Your Life

Miles from Boredom


John Kalodner loved "Love Or Money" which got Hagar signed to the new Geffen Records. 



Pretty much everything you would expect from Sammy Hagar; you can hear all the pieces of his future hits. but it's a bit of a Journey to get to the goodness. And this CD is on a 35 minutes long. Interesting that the best work was songs written by other people.


1.        "Love Or Money"  B-

2.        "20th Century Man"  B 

3.        "Miles From Boredom"  B+ Though it took a while to grow on me. The first couple times I thought it was stupid.


8. "Heartbeat" (Betsy Hagar, Sammy Hagar) One of a few songs co-written by his wife.

9. "Run For Your Life"  A  (Steve Gould, John Pidgeon) Requisite cover with Journey’s Steve Perry and Neil Schon. Co-produced by Boston's Tom Scholz. Buying this one.

 10. ”Danger Zone"   – 0:40. Wish this one was longer.
