They really should have changed the name to Van Hagar.

Regardless of your opinion on whether Sammy Hagar improved or diminished the quality of Van Halen's music after replacing David Lee Roth as frontman—and, truly, there is no middle ground on this issue—there is no question that the band's music was substantially different in those two eras. Eddie Van Halen's guitar sound is different (less "brown sound"). Alex Van Halen's drum sound is different (simultaneously fussier and less interesting). Michael Anthony is lost in the mix. The production approach is radically different (more congested and cold, far less live-sounding). It's all just ... different and this decidedly unique listening experience also resulted in a decidedly unique cultural experience. The Roth albums are, despite (or because of) their thorough immaturity and occasional stupidity, held closely to the hearts of millions of people, and that lineup of Van Halen means something to a great many rock fans. The Hagar era was, like its mid-'80s-to-early-'90s milieu, far more lucrative but also more professionalized and less personal. Hagar's albums hit multi-platinum status within months of their releases and the band was hurling singles to the top of the charts throughout the four-album run (yes, even Balance had a Top 40 hit). Still, it's safe to say that far fewer people love any of those albums as much as even the most casual fan of Diver Down does. That delta of "meaningfulness" could be what accounts for this remastered set of Hagar-era albums coming nearly a decade after the Roth albums were remastered and packaged up in a hi-res Collection, but whatever the reason for the delay has been, it's fair to say (even for those with no love for the Hagar years) that this set is long overdue. Hearing these albums presented together does provide some new perspective on what Hagar gave the band, collects a handful of rare tracks from the era, and, more importantly, gives a much-needed sonic overhaul to albums like 5150 and OU812 that suffered from thin digital masters that did little to burnish their reputations.
