Sammy Hagar’s first studio album with Van Halen fits snugly into the band’s party-metal tradition—the wildly raucous “Get Up” recalls the nuclear-fuelled boogie of “Hot for Teacher”. But key differences turn up as well: “Dreams” leans more heavily on the chilly pulse of Eddie Van Halen’s synthesisers, and the pop-driven power ballad “Why Can’t This Be Love?” is tailor-made for Hagar’s gritty heart-on-sleeve vocals.
