Oh, well that’s a surprise it seems I actually still like Van Helen. Thing is I’d built up my own stereotype of what I remember them sounding like, which I didn’t give much credence to. But the 2 albums I have re listened to on here, are well just good rock and roll. Dave Lee who I just think of as clowning actually fits this well, went to the edge .. the musicians are always on point and serve the song at all times while being, well eddieVH. Great hard rock album, 4.5 Star
