all most 5 stars this a real good 80's album from sammy and crew not as strong as standing hampton! but a must for hagar fans . Break the locks and unleash this rock masterpiece! Rise of the Animal - The Room song jumps into this hard driving rock tune. Three lock box is vintage hagar, I love this album! The release of this 1983 was just a glimpse of things to come from Sammy Hagar for the NEXT 25 YEARS: Great vocals, superb songwriting, melodic & anthemic rock that filled a niche, then overflowed and overpowered most around it! Three Lock Box is a rocker Remote Love is a sweet poppy tune Remember the heroes is a DEEP heart felt rock tune dedicated to all of our veterans! Your love is driving me crazy - Great pop tune with excellent melody, great riffs on the guitar as well! In the Room - Dark, spooky tune, quite a trip! Reminds me of some prog rock space tune or something of a meidevil background. The rest of the tunes are fun and rockin' as well. If you have not heard sammy hagar, or liked some of his work with Van Halen, you should start with this album. I personally feel his best solo works are this, VOA, and Standing Hampton. All are gems, and all are multi-platinum recordings. 1. Three Lock Box 2. Remote Love 3. Remember the Heroes 4. Your Love Is Driving Me Crazy 5. In the Room 6. Rise of the Animal 7.

One Of Sammy Hagar's Best The blend of Bob Seger/Ted Nugent Detroit rock, Skynyrd/Outlaws Southern rock, and Humble Pie/Foghat/Montrose heavy metal that was present on STANDING HAMPTON remains, but a bit of Journey-esque pop-rock creeps in on the hit single "Your Love Is Driving me Crazy. THREE LOCK BOX is good-time rock album that has some serious lyrics- "Remember The Heroes" is about Vietnam, and "I Wouldn't Change A Thing", describes life's experiences. " This and its predecessor, along with MARCHING TO MARS, RED VOODOO, TEN 13, and NOT 4 SALE, are Sammy Hagar's finest solo albums. The fact that Hagar currently advocates sanctions against Indonesia in retaliation for that country's recent trumped-up drug-smuggling conviction of a young Australian tourist, as well as more funding for law enforcement, makes this CD an essential purchase for both your ears AND your conscience. The best all-around Hagar album " Both of those come pretty close, but just because there's very little filler here, this marginally wins. There aren't as many hits here as on Sammy's predecessor "Standing Hampton" or the follow-up "VOA. "Your Love Is Driving Me Crazy" is Sam's biggest hit and my favorite song of his. It's almost never played on the radio anymore, though. It's a typical '80s Hard Rocker, but slightly more pop, due to keyboard use. Many other songs here use them too. "Remote Love" and "Never Give Up" are carbon copies and excellent album tracks. The other hits were the title track and "I Don't Need Love. " These are more like his standard fare. The latter is also one of his best, fast-paced, sex and party, but 'safe' song. "I Wouldn't Change A Thing" was, I believe, a minor hit that should've been bigger. One thing about this album that were LESS present in others was the slightly serious thoughts on top of the usual party rock. The part ballad "Remember the Hereoes" (about soldiers) was the only completely dramatic song, but it fits in well and is a nice addition. "Growing Up" was a self-explanatory look at just that. (One thing I like about Rock stars is they don't have an age limit for subjects. Sammy was in his late 30s when this came out, but he can talk about coming of age and make it sound totally natural). "In the Room" was another change. The only song I can't get into. A little darker, it talks about dreamland vs reality. "Rise of the Animal" is similar to this, but somewhat more musically engaging. 3 Lock Box is more or less forgotten probably since it's sandwitched between albums which have the near Metal of "One Way to Rock" and "Heavy Metal" as well as the classic road song "Can't Drive 55. " By the time I discovered this, I was a die-hard fan of those too, so take my word, don't pass it up.
