      Nice Sniper...that riff on Space kicks my ass everytime. I automatically turn it up, grab a beer, and drive faster...not necessarily in that order.

          Bullethead seems to be really dividing people, I've been skipping past it recently.

              I'm torn on it. The middle part where Dave sings "Ima bullethead....hurt me!" Is my fav part of the tune. I swear Dave sounds like 1978 Dave at that moment on the album. It's really weird, but awesome to hear his voice go back in time like that.

                BH sounds like classic VH at it's best to me. I love it. It gets turned up a couple notches when it comes on and sometimes I have to even spin it twice.

                  Would we agree that now all the excitement has died down there are definitely 2 tiers of tracks on this disc.

                  'Tattoo', 'The Trouble With Never' and 'Big River' are consistently near the bottom of people's lists.

                    I would put " Big River " in the top half...one of the best guitar solos on the cd...song just puts you in a great mood

                      As Is
                      You and Your Blues

                      The Trouble With Never, As Is and You And Your Blues I'm just finding I skip over/avoid altogether when listening to the album. Am not saying they're terrible but in comparison to the rest of it they don't really cut it for me. Stay Frosty and Tattoo I enjoy, but are hardly essential to my ears.

                      ADKOT is slightly...I dunno...about 2/3rds of it I really enjoy, but most of that 2/3rds is comprised of the older tracks the band reworked. When ADKOT works, it works really well. When it doesn't, it comes across as Van Halen music that is almost disposable, which isn't something I associate with a Van Halen lineup that has Roth in it. Thankfully, I'd say it works about 80% of the time.

                        My issue with "The Trouble With Never" is that it doesn't even sound like VH to my ears. First time I heard it I thought it was in the style of Guns N' Roses, Appetite era. Not that there's anything wrong with that but it didn't sound original. It's also a pretty messy, schizophrenic song that sounds like a bunch of ideas slapped together but not unified.

                            I cannot believe you would skip over "As Is" THE most Van Halen song on the cd.

                                I'm disappointed with the choice they made as far as ADKOT extracts for the tour.
