Although I really like those two "swan songs," I'd agree about the bloated comment. Both would have been much better if made tighter. I don't mean song length so much as number of songs. I really like them because in the CD era (and today) I would make a playlist that would lop off portions of them. But with that done, I think they are superior to OU812 (which has some really good songs but just doesn't sound that good) or 5150 (which was 2-3 spectacular songs and then a whole lot of . . . meh).
What's the best Hagar-era song though? Might just be the title track from 5150.
