Third time is not the charm.

Review Score: (4/10)
Setting aside for a moment the sheer absurdity of replacing their lead singer for a 3rd time, this album is a poor attempt to keep the VH moniker alive and to continue Warner Brother's cash cow relationship with the band. By hiring Hagar sound-alike Gary Cherone (a talented vocalist but hardly an ideal replacement for either Hagar or Roth), Eddie and Co. manage to sound like a Van-Hagar tribute band rather than a new incarnation of VH Proper. Not to mention the weakness of the songs and the penchant for politically-charged lyrics (I'd even take "Poundcake" over this tripe). I think it's time for Eddie to either move on to solo albums or else retire to some tropical island and depend on his back catalog and his wife's Lifetime-TV royalties to keep the cash rolling in.
