Van Halen

III

This album went over so poorly, Van Halen doesn't even acknowledge it existed when they released their greatest hits package. It's unfortunate, because Ed is playing really well. There's some seeds of good ideas for songs that never really quite get there, but at least we're not subjected to Sammy's sap-dripping lyrics. Not nearly as bad as everyone thinks. --johnk5150

NAME THAT TUNE
WHAT SONG IS THAT FROM?

“The Gods made heavy metal and they saw that it was good. They said to play it louder than Hell, we promised that we would. When losers say it's over with, you know that it's a lie. The Gods made heavy metal and it's never gonna die.”
