If youve never listened to this album before, buy it and skip to "Get up". Songs
like this, based on Sammy Haggars experience as a boxer, just arent written
anymore. A total energy blast, there isnt a single energy drink that can give a
kick like this song. The other songs on this album deliver as well. 

One
aspect Ive enjoyed about the Sammy Haggar invasion is that Van Halens tunes dont
seem to brood as much as they did with David Lee Roth. With Haggar, we get to
hear more of Eddie Van Halens 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 Halens greatest album ever. Though some may contest this, I cant 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!
