Official "A Different Kind of Truth" Album Review Thread

[Sensible Shoes]

HA!

"These songs crackle, fizz and bulge with priapic exuberance, and not just due to the reliably demented Roth.

That is just too damned funny.

Did you hear something?

footsteps, motherfucker!

I'm gonna be the first to say it.

This pisses all over 1984.

It can never replace it because I'm not a teenager any more but on every level musically, song writing, lyrics it blows it away.

Tell me you didn't....

ADKOT is great, but 1984 can't be beat IMO.

Remember 3 hours sleep is not enough to get you sober to drive FFS.

Carpool, 3 hours sleep, sunglasses and Van Halen... was not behind the wheel.

[Zing!]

Damn - ruined my own joke by double posting...

D'oh!

I think Dave wrote this to a large degree but the Van Halens managed to make it theirs. Remember them criticising him back 10 years ago for turning up and making them listen to Chemical Brothers stuff?

I think he finally got through to them probably with the help of Wolf and they took it and knocked it out the fucking park.

Interesting, so Dave made Eddie listen to the Chemical Bros? It doesn't really remind me of them though.. Maybe the beat I guess.. It kind of reminds me of "loss of control" or "one foot out the door".
It really sounds like something that could have been released on WACF which amazes me! These guys are pure magic together, one of the most unique sounds together I've ever witnessd. To be honest I like this album much better than 1984 because it captures so much! I can't believe how heavy it is!!! I think my least fav is Big River but I still love it!

I agree that this is better than 1984. My favorite song off 1984 is "Girl Gone Bad"..

Good Choice.

I will ignore the other thing you said.

I've heard worse. On various sites people have declared that ADKOT is so good that they're throwing their copies of 1984 and Diver Down in the garbage.
They're just caught up in the excitement of the moment.
Once they've worn this one out like a $5 hooker (which, at this rate, should be sometime next week), they'll realize how outlandish their comments are.
