1001 Albums Summary

Fast Car is an all time classic song. Overall great album just not exactly what I seek out. Huge respect for Tracy as a lyricist and vocalist. 3.5

Self indulgent BS

God this sucks. Van Halen is music for people who think they are cool but they almost alway the worst person in the room. “Jump” ranks high on the list of worst song of all time and now that I’ve listened to the songs I hadn’t heard on this album I’m surprised to find almost all the other songs are worse. Shitty choruses, boring production, and songs about trivial and misogynistic topics. “Hot for teacher” is somehow the best song on this pile of burning shit.

One thing about Elvis is he can sing! Classic American music.
