Review
Chris Mars' second album, 75% Less Fat, follows the same pattern as his debut, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades. Like its predecessor, the record is a one-man band (Mars plays everything) collection of appealingly rough-edged power-pop driven by ringing guitar hooks and surprisingly sweet and catchy melodies. Unlike most one-man projects, 75% Less Fat actually rocks -- there's a loose, unhinged feeling to the rhythms that make the music sound like a group effort. Mars' songs might be a little inconsistent, but the album has an endearing, ragged charm that makes it hard to dislike. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi| 75 to 85 (2005 Album by Various Artists) | |

75% Less Fat is the second album by Chris Mars. The title refers to the rejection of his former band members in The Replacements.
Though Mars performs primarily as a one-man band, as he did on his previous album Horseshoes and Hand Grenades his work also contains J.D. Foster on bass and clarinet, in the case of the latter on the instrumental track "Nightcap."
