5.0 out of 5 stars Sammy's best album, July 9, 2002

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sammy is the only one who survived the Post Van-Halen Era, September 3, 1998

Van Halen died the day Sammy was fired. Sammy took the emotion of that whole experience, as well as the healing process, and created what I think is his most musically diverse and mature album to date. The many of the selections have a more bluesy feel to them. I was a Van Halen fan before I became a Sammy fan, and as I compare MTM to a pathetic VH3 album, I must say that I leave the Van Halen era as a true Sammy fan.
