[quote:Anonymous Coward 11010526:MV8xNzg0NzIyXzI5Njg4ODA4X0EwMzg0REQz] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1850452:MV8xNzg0NzIyXzI5Njg2NjIxXzE5M0NEQ0M=] And btw, these are just previews of the songs put out by the band. [/quote] I dunno, I'm not hearing any of the old rolling menace and no powerful guitar riffs like on Unchained, Dancing in the Streets, Running with the Devil, and so on. I liked bluesy numbers of theirs like Take Your Whiskey Home, too, but these previews aren't really working for me. Van Halen died a premature death when Eddie kicked Diamond Dave out of the band years ago. Could be over for them but I'll give this new album another chance. [/quote]

Honestly, I didn't think they could pull it off. Of course, Eddie and Alex can always deliver the music goods, and it's clear Wolfie can too, but DLR was the wildcard. While his upper register is much weaker, he somehow manages to smoke the lyrics on many songs. Eddie is truly legendary on guitar. Legendary. The guy hasn't lost a thing and has even managed to push the sound envelope even further.
Good stuff people. I'm pleasantly surprised. They just came into #2 on the Billboard chart behind Adele. If you thought true Rock and Roll was dead, uhh...Van Halen just singlehandedly resurrected it from the grave with this outing.
