Official "A Different Kind of Truth" Album Review Thread

[Halen High]

The rain front is moving south and easing off, we will be fine, house on high ground, heaps
of beer, food and new van halen ! lol...... Its not that unusual to stay on the property for
a few days anyway, I reckon even tomorrow we might be ok, we didnt get it as bad as others,
I dont think I need to worry about water for a few months now. Tanks are overflowing

Good to know you and family are safe. And yes, it was Rundle Mall - JBs. I will buy the vinyl edition from a smaller, more 'authentic' music retailer later.

[Halen High]

I sure don't.

There must be some commercial/marketing reason behind it. Who knows. At least you are guaranteed to see them live!

[Halen High]

I'm hearing that a lot in here. Damn. This is gonna be a long 4 days. No more "snippets" for me. Just Tattoo and everything else I own by them. Rock on HH!!

Good idea. For these last few days, try and resist any more snippets. I kinda wish I hadn't heard so much before today. Good luck!

[ashstralia]

fuck! every time i listen, a new song grabs me... you and your blues. dayum.

[Panamark]

DLR Bridge, I had a feeling from the public snippets it was going to be good.
You guys have heard this. It doesnt let you down ! In fact several tracks
exceed expectations based on the snippets... Hope you like it heavy !!

[jero]

Got it!!!!! Yes!!!

You and your blues, Ed is on fire

I just finished You and Your Blues...now I'm thinking that's one of their all time greats! Fucking hell!

And how good is TTWN? Love the part where Dave talks then the band erupts into life. Amazing.

[ashstralia]

i know man, just killer.

[Halen High]

FUCK! Eddie is astonishing on Outta Space. Not just the solo - but the whole track. Thank God they re-worked Let's Get Rockin' - probably my all-time favourite unreleased demo.

[ELVIS]

Ed is astonishing on every fucking song !!

[Halen High]

You and your blues, Ed is on fire

The solo was so good I wanted it to go longer. But it works perfectly. Keeps you coming back for more!

He sure is. As I'm typing this, I'm listening to Big River - love the way Eddie closes out the song.
