Sammy Hagar--Standing Hampton (1981)
Rating--5.0
**U.S. Sales Certification--Platinum**
Hagar starts to get some commercial looks with this release, as the band's sound gets a little sharper and more "hard rock"
than the classic rock sounds of before.
Two tough and heavy drivers in "There's Only One Way to Rock" and the
classic and underrated "Heavy Metal." "I'll Fall in Love Again" is smooth and solid throughout; unfortunately, the remainder of
the selections are rather unextraordinary. Still, worth it for those three songs.
The big bucks breakthrough comes in a couple of years...
