                There, that's better, eh VV ??


                You aren't diggin that E? I love it...can't get enough in fact. I guess some people probably think Dave overused the Tarzan scream in older albums. But you are enjoying the album overall right? That's what counts here man.

                      Heard it.

                      Van fucking Halen. 'More energy than an atomic reactor' - that's what WB ads for VH1 claimed in 78. They've still got it. Amazing energy on this damn thing ..

                        Sense sarcasm, over text? Yeah...that's proven to be a good way to assume someone's tone.

                        Love the album is all bro.

                              From USA Today. Another good review, but another clueless critic who writes "the group misses the back-up vocals of bassist Mark Anthony". *sigh*

                              Listen up spotlight: Van Halen speaks the 'Truth'


                              3.5 out of 4

                              It's the rare group that can jump right back into the saddle after eons apart — 27 years since David Lee Roth fronted them on record and 14 years since the Roth-less band produced a whole album of new material — and resume full gallop with such apparent ease and confidence. Must have been all that clean living in between because neither Red Bull nor cattle prods could have spurred this kind of exuberance.

                              The mainstream metallurgists sound neither rusty nor excessively welded to past glory. The classic elements are here —Eddie Van Halen's lightning-fast, screaming guitar runs, Roth's blustery vocals, Alex Van Halen's muscular drumbeats — and they're employed on sturdy, contemporary material. There are no obvious hits here (sing-along hooks are scarce and the group misses the back-up vocals of bassist Mark Anthony, who is replaced by Eddie's son Wolfgang).

                              But potent moments still abound, particularly Eddie's solos on China Town and Roth's in-your-face belting on Blood and Fire. Nit-pickers will note more guitar distortion, as well as a sameness in the pacing, which is full-throttle throughout. Still, this is the true kick in the butt that arena rock desperately needs.

                                Sing-along hooks are scarce ? Are they listening and reviewing the right album ?
