The Good
Sammy, I love you and I love your tequila, but you're breaking my heart here.
The Bad
If you walk away with anything from Cosmic Universal Fashion, it's the fact that Hagar is getting older, slowing down, and running out of ideas. The album's title track is not exactly bad. In fact, the rhythm and beats are quite different for Hagar, but if you listen closely or even watch the video, the song is a re-hashing of the Van Halen hit "Right Now." This is not the first time Hagar has gone back to old material for inspiration either.
"Peephole" is another Hagar retread from his failed side-project PlanetUS. I'm sure Hagar's hoping you don't remember, but he teamed up with Joe Satriani and Neal Shon and Deen Castronovo of Journey back in the beginning of this decade. The project never got off the ground, but Neal went forward with it, replacing Hagar with Jeff Scott Soto, and eliminating Satriani. The band released an album under the name Soul SirkUS [review]. Sure, they didn't create much of a stir, but they released "Peephole" on their album. Nice try Sammy.
"Fight for Your Right to Party" is of course a Beastie Boys cover. Hagar has been doing this one at his live shows for a while now. The song is great live, but this studio version is down right awful. It's in a much lower key, and really doesn't want to make you rebel or party. "Dreams/Cabo" is a nine-minute acoustic track that combines two more Hagar-era Van Halen tracks.
The rest of the material on the album is rather mediocre and not represenative of the "red rocker" and his high energy, twenty-four hour party lifestyle. "Loud" is probably the best hard rock track on the album. It's also the one you would releate most to Sammy Hagar.
The Verdict
Hagar should stick to hagning out with his party band The Wabos, because when they're gone, he seems to forget that he's the hard rock Jimmy Buffett. Cosmic Universal Fashion does accomplish one thing; it makes you appreciate the last album by Sammy and the Wabos "Livin' It Up.
