Interesting album if expectations are tempered. The title track (and video) reference "Right Now" but has more kinship with "Marching to Mars" ~ boppy, mod, ruminating, slick. Terrific radio tune! Next two tracks do grunge metal with social consciousness ~ nice Eddie imitation on the former. From there, Sammy takes care of his fan base: cars, girls, partying, boogieing. His vocal range is easy nowadays, the songs pleasantly formulaic. Kinda a ZZ Top groove, unassuming but earnest, well-oiled. Some modest forays into funk and 60's keep the set moving along. The acoustic closer is shameless filler, though. Whatever, this dude's been working his butt off since 1973, once the mightiest arena yeller in the biz ~ as far as I'm concerned, he's got the right to coast. Nice to have ya back! And cool takin' care of Mike!

Let's get this straight, I am a long-term fan of all things Red Rocker and so this disc was a seriously welcome treat. It is more of an e.p than a new album but any new release is cool. The songs are not too bad, but well below Sammy's previous level. It is 10 times better than the 'Livin it up record but a bit 'Cheesy' on too many occasions.
What worries me most is that over the past 3 records Sammy has released, I have noticed his voice sounding more and more strained. I know the guy is 61 so I am greatfull he is still making music at all, but maybe he needs to go back to a more serious style and hit the 'I'm Sam I am' type stuff on the head a bit. I am looking forward to a return to form...

I've been a Sammy Hagar fan for many years now and i have to say that this latest attempt at creating music is just that.. "an attempt". there's nothing here that hints at reinvention whatsoever. Sam prides himself on his tequila and his livin' it up lifestyle. the inclusion of that particular lifestyle in his music has not carried over very well on this disc or his previous one for alot of fans. The title song in and of itself..sucks. "Psycho Vertigo" is okay and "Peeping through a hole" would have been alright if i hadn't already heard Jeff Scott Soto sing that with Soul Sirkus. The Soul Sirkus version blows this one to pieces. the rest of the disc is filler. It just doesn't have the elements of a "rockin'" Sammy Hagar record. Sammy is capable of creating better more listenable hard rock music even at the ripe old of 60! I really hope that the music that he's recorded with Satriani,Mike and Chad is far superior to this latest spud. I'll be waiting to hear the music from that "project" whatever name they decide to give it when it finally comes out.
