On the Walmart deal... out in the CD section they only had the CD only version. So I asked... they sent me to the counter where all cell phones and tablets are. Pointed me to the register and right next to it was the big cardboard display that mewisemagic posted above.

Dumbasses had it pointed towards the back of the store so you couldn't spot it from the main aisle. They had plenty of CD's, Deluve CD+DVD and exclusive CD+Shirt copies in that display.

Finished my second listen... got to take a break and focus on work. Damn both run throughs ended too soon and left me wanting more!!!

What the hell did my degenerate ass do to be having such a great day???? I'm watching my Giants have a victory parade while Blasting VH all day......this is the best random Tuesday in February of my life. Seriously that Onion review really rubbed me the wrong way though.....how do you knock Honeybabysweetydoll?

Listening to the album
Pretty fuckin good so far
Kicks some major ass
Drums, GUITARS(that fucker still has it man) and the bass playing is....very good!!
Stay mother fuckin frosty troops
Let's get rockin!!!!!!

I hear you - better than anything I could've expected - amazing through headphones!!! Haven't seen the Walmart shirt, but at this point I'm ready to buy anything that says VH on it! Already got CD from VH store and preordered from itunes - also ordered Tattoo from New Zealand and US - by the time midnite comes I'll have 4 copies of Tattoo on my ipod!!

Couldn't agree with you more about listening with headphones.....

For whatever reason, when Roth is in the band, Eddie Van Halen plays guitar like the world wants him to play guitar.

Hey at least that reviewer said the above statement, which is factual.

He ALWAYS brought out the best in Ed...something the Chedster seemingly did the polar opposite of.

In the classic words of Dave himself
Critics prefer Elivis Costello over Van Halen
cause they all look like him"
Nuff said
Who cares bout critics
Let the fans and the album sales
Speak for themselves!!!

Here's the thing. That reviewer wants to hear:

Oh, here we go! Yeah yeah
Yesterday, I saw my love light shine straight ahead in front of me
You never really know when love'll come or go
But yesterday I was alone
Suddenly I walked you home
I never really knew what love could make me do

I'll send the message in a bottle
trust in the mercy of the sea
Stormy weather
Waitin' for love to set me free

Everyday I watch the tide roll in, Stay until it rolls away
Though nothin's on the shore, I'm runnin' back for more
Hey, Feels so good (So good) Woo!
And it feels so nice, When love comes around
I feel good (So good) So good, so good
An' it feels so nice (So nice) Woo!
Ow! Feels so good

(Guitar Solo)

Hey, Gonna make her feel nice (So nice)
When love comes around
I feel good, woo! (So good)
So good, so good, so good (So nice)
Now come on baby, make me feel good

(So good)
Get up, get up, get up, get up (So nice)
Uh! Hey baby, I feel good (So good)
Woo! Now come on, now come on (So nice)
Yeah, make it nice. Ow!
So good, so good

My girlfriend heard that on the radio and told me it sounded like christian rock. How anybody can regard someone who turned the mighty Van Halen into that shit with anything but disgust is beyond me.

I'm actually a little nauseous after reading that shit. It would be comical if it hadn't been called Van Halen. FUCK!

[fourthcoming]

Very Cool! I'm listening to WBAB stream now

Dude how great is this Wbab stream today? wish they would stick to this format everyday!!!

[Zing!]

Just got it. Just listened to it. Too much. Overload. Need time. Jesus Christ. Back soon with a proper review. What a day...

Left me speechless at first too bro.....I know exactly what you mean.

[ThrillsNSpills]

You and your Blues acoustic is really good.

Hey y'all...don't shoot the messenger about The Onion review.

I only posted it because this is the official "Review Thread" and it's interesting to see all comments, both pro and con.

It seems like The Onion guy wants to really like it alot, but is afraid that coming out in favor would make him not "hip enough" to write for a satire site like "The Onion."

But like we've all said...FUCK the reviews. The music speaks for itself. I can't get enough. I'm about to get back in my car again and blow the fucking windows out....
