    Lots of great stuff, some really good, but - as has been stated - "Sunday Afternoon in the Park" and "One Foot Out the Door" reduce the album to merely great. It even sounds like Dave is talking about these two songs in the title of "One Foot out the Door": "ah, the albums' basically done, and we've got great stuff like "Unchained" and "So This is Love?" on here, screw these last two things, I'm headin' over to the strip club". If they left those two off, and added two or three more songs that are on the level of "Sinners Swing!!!" and "Push Comes to Shove" (actually, I'm not such a big fan of this tunes chorus, either), it'd be a CLASSIC.

            My fave =VH= album. Their best? No. I'll give that to I, but the overall vibe on this one is much more......I dunno, appealing in a dark way...
            "Honey, my shirt got itself torn up. My shirt tore itself on that stripper's hand, and I need it to be sewed up for the show."
            "No problem, Dave, no problem. Say hello to Fluffy."
            "Fuck you, Fluffy."
            "No, no, you're going to upset Fluffy."
            "I ain't saying hello to no stuffed bear."
            "You know, now that I think about it, it's going to take a little longer to sew up that shirt than I was thinking."
            "Hi Fluffy, how you been?"
            "Now that I'm thinking of it even more, it's going to take half the time, Double D, Diamond Dave! Would you hold Fluffy?"
            "N--- yeah."

                Been listening to the six-pack a LOT this week. I want to bump these and maybe get some good discussion. I'm proud of these write-ups I did.

                                Been blasting FW all week!!! Nice review.

                                I love Hear About It Later and Unchained, especially. I find myself repeating these two ad nauseum.

                                In fact, I end up playing the opening 30 seconds of Unchained over and over... That riff! That scream! The pure audio adrenaline!

                                My 14-year-old son was stunned when I corrected him that Unchained was just one guitarist.

                                Honestly, I have a tough time playing much on FW after Unchained diddles out. I mean why litens to some synthesizer dog barking when Mean Streets is just a few clicks away???

                                            Fair Warning gets heavy rotation in the computer CD player at work, that's for sure...

                                            Awesome album with a sound and atmosphere that seperates it from other CVH moments...

                                            DLR and the boys at their rough-and-tumble BEST!

                                            Dirty Movies is one of my favorite CVH songs ever, but it took a few listens before it really grabbed me by the balls and sunk in...Dave's ad-libs and interludes make any song better the more you hear it...LOL

                                            Classic Review!
                                            Without DLR in the lineup, Van Halen is merely Rat Salade...
