  75% Less Fat is the second album by Chris Mars. The title refers to the rejection of his former bandmates in The Replacements.
  
  ## Production
  
  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.
  
  ## Critical reception
  
  AllMusic wrote: "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." Entertainment Weekly called the music "beer-commercial-like riffs and bouncy, generic rhythms that, at best, sound like cheap imitations of [Mars's] own musical past." Trouser Press wrote that the album "may not push the envelope, but it cements an image of Mars as a serious musician with his own vision." Phoenix New Times called it "a well-played, well-produced recording that in the end fails to make any lasting impression."
