Product Description Certified at 5 million units by the RIAA. (8/94) desertcart.com As original Van Halen vocalist David Lee Roth quit the band to pursue a solo career, or was fired (depending on who you believe), Eddie and Alex Van Halen and Michael Anthony carried on by hiring Sammy Hagar. Hagar was a middling artist on his own, but he proved to be a powerhouse when placed in front of hard rock's most muscular and innovative instrumental unit. On 5150--the title is police code for "escaped lunatic"--you can hear the band's excitement at having struck a winning combination. Songs such as "Why Can't This Be Love," "Dreams," "Best of Both Worlds," and "Love Walks In" combine to make this the early high-watermark of the Van Hagar era. --Daniel Durchholz Review: Great product!

Van Halen - The Van Hagar Era Begins
And so, the Sammy Hagar years begin. After the departure of David Lee Roth the band took some time off and then announced that former Montrose and AOR solo artist Sammy Hagar would be joining the band on lead vocals and guitar. Personally I always liked Hager. Having seen him live several times I already knew he was an incredibly energetic performer, and from a strictly vocal chops department he could sing rings around David Lee Roth. The album sounds pretty much what you would think a mix of Van Halen and Sammy Hagar would sound like. I enjoy this one for the most part. The band head in a heavily pop direction in spots and like "1984" it is a very keyboard heavy album, but overall I like it. Yea the lyrics are never going to win a Pulitzer prize and much of the tongue and cheek humor of the Roth years is missing, but there are some good to great songs here and the band are in top form instrumentally. Some criticize the use of electronic drums on the disc, but they have never really bothered me. The album would be the first Van Halen album to go to number one and spawned a bunch of hits including "Why Can't This Be Love", "Dreams", "Summer Nights", "Best Of Both Worlds", and "Love Walks In". I like this album a lot better than "1984" and have always enjoyed the Van Hagar version of the band.

A great rockin' rush!!!
If you've never listened to this album before, buy it and skip to "Get up". Songs like this, based on Sammy Haggar's experience as a boxer, just aren't written anymore. A total energy blast, there isn't a single energy drink that can give a kick like this song. The other songs on this album deliver as well. One aspect I've enjoyed about the Sammy Haggar invasion is that Van Halen's tunes don't seem to brood as much as they did with David Lee Roth. With Haggar, we get to hear more of Eddie Van Halen's talent in 5150 which previewed in "Jump" with Roth. More keys, more complex harmonies, more fast songs which in my estimation resulted in more music making make this album a great one. 5150 is probably Van Halen's greatest album ever. Though some may contest this, I can't help but constantly deem this valid when listening to the older and sadly less than exceptional following albums. Great rock is just that, great. 5150 is great rock!

Have this playing in my car on my way home from work -in addition to other Van Halen CDs. Love the old music and glad to have found this to add to my collection. Listening to this helps wind me down after a busy day at work. Good tunes. CD was new in package as expected.

Faut pas blaguer c'est du sérieux ! C'est très fort ce qui est à écouter quand je pense qu'ils ne sont que 4 à faire une telle musique ! Les paroles je ne sais pas ce qu'ils racontent en revanche
