    it reminds me also the sound of a stopping locomotive...anyway, this album is amazing; 100% pure Van Halen. I'm in love with China Town.

    ...and hopefully, that's exactly what he's saying. Just as long as we don't have to wait another 28 years for the next one! Your post reminds me of how that last tune on WACF (officially untitled, but it's come to be known as "Growth") was supposed to be a preview of what the next album would start off with, but by the time Fair Warning was recorded, Eddie came up with the intro to Mean Street, which was much better anyway.

    It has to take less than 28 years for the next one being that they will be long dead by then and most of us will be too. HA!

    I think this album will turn the music world upside down - much in the same way the 1978 debut did.

    If not, at least it will destroy every other music genre in its path.

    It can't because everyone is too old.

    It's a fucking great album though much better than any of us could have hoped for.

    Two solos, trying to work out if Ed is playing a bit of slide on the second one...

    Guitar playing is fire in the belly VH1 stuff.

    They should definitely replace ICM with this live...

    Hopefully not.... the current North American leg of the tour is only booked through the end of June. That leaves lots of time to hit Europe in the summer. And one would hope they manage to hit Australia, since they would have been the first stop on the tour, had that festival not gone tits up the way it did.

    Something or someone lit a fire under Eddie's ass cuz he sounds like an 18yr old shredding again.....Alex is killing it....Wolf is killing it....Dave's voice hasn't sounded this good since Little Aint Enough. Fuckin' killer album. So far for me....."AS IS" is rediculously insane.

    I've just been told by a VH fan bud that Switzerland will sell ADKOT as soon as tomorrow... I preordered a copy from Amazon France which will be in my mail box next Monday, argh!

    I think I'll drive the 25 miles to Geneva despite the black ice (it's - 15°C) and offer my "French" copy next week.

    DLN, how many listens now, you lucky Teuton?

    Ok... still 5 days away from actually possessing a Deluxe Version in my hands, so caved and listened to the full versions posted online (specifically the dude with the ADKOT playlist... minus Tattoo - he has Big River as Song #1) ...

    HOLY FUCK... what a difference from the clips posted... MONSTROUSLY thicker production and better sounding mix to my ears... Dave is blended perfectly on what I am hearing (which was my big complaint on the short clips as he was WAY too loud) ...

    I honestly am speechless as to what I have just listened to ...

    Not sure there is a better Songs #2 - #8 on anything I have heard in the past 25 years...
    And HoneyBabySweetieDoll may just have entered my top 3...

    I retract my earlier statements based on the clips (which many posted would be the case.. . still not sure why they released sub par sounding stuff, but whatever now)

    ... what I am listening to is MASSIVE...
    EVH is out of his mind on this CD...

    I heard the entire Stay Frosty song.

    O M G ! ! ! ! ! ! !

    This song completely DESTROYS Ice Cream Man 1978.

    DESTROYS IT!

    Wow, Eddie, man.

    The MASTERS are indeed back.

    What a song.

    Just got myself an "early copy" too...but my CD/DVD will arrive on Tuesday.

    I am absolutely blown away. I cannot describe how great an album this is. And I can't believe that I prefer the new SHE'S THE WOMAN to the original version...

    Also, the sound quality is SO MUCH better than the preview versions.

    Wasn't there a quote somewhere from someone who had talked to Eddie about the album and Eddie said he was nervous about how the album would be recieved?? No need to be nervous Ed ol boy this album is immense.
