Reviews4 out of 5 stars - "...This album remains their best variation on the theme since their first record, housing both Eddie's most dynamic riffs and Roth's best gibberish lyrics..."
This is Van Halen's 4th studio album released in 1981 and it is fantastic. The band made use of new recording techniques and synthesizers to create a gritty street-life atmosphere whilst pushing the envelope of Hard Rock/ Heavy Metal beyond the expectations of the fans and critics alike. The lyrical themes are explicit dealing with sex, violence, vice and the seedier side of L.A. in the early 1980's. It is their darkest release and is a reflection of it's time, social comentary from the perspective of the streets. This album is considered by fans and critics alike to be "The Guitarist's Guitar album" and showcases Eddie Van Halen's astonishing Guitar wizardry and song writing chops. Each member of the band is at the top of their game which makes Van Halen a hard act to beat.
