I'm a fan, but not really past 1984.

Yes, totally going to see them on their upcoming tour! Gonna be so awesome been watching alot of the new live clips and they still shred.
Then get the new album because it fits right in with the old stuff. The one song they released is about as far removed from the rest of the album as can be.
Great music by Ed, Dave, Alex, and Wolfie!!

Van Halen is still making music?
No, the new album is an illusion.

They have a handful of nice songs and a ton of just filler.
What I've heard of the new stuff isn't anything special.

so true...not worth buying the whole album for me..just pick through the songs i like although i'm still a fan..
even put this thing together and painted..
Wow, I so don't agree. This is classic VH through and through. Only three songs seem average to me and two of those three have some great parts. Only the song Tatto is completly average to me. Many of the songs were written in VH prime back in the 70's and have appeared on Demos. The new songs that appear sound great also. But of course music is all very subjective but I think this album is by far better then their last three attempts.
I'm also not keen on supporting them too much considering how they've treated Michael Anthony. Anthony always seemed like such a cool guy, and gave the band so much. I think he deserved better.
Agreed.
But I'm still gonna pick up the CD and give it a listen...I have store credit at Hastings.
Album is mediocre as expected.
IMO, the album is okay...but not great.
Really?
Man I love it. And this is not just crazy Super Fan talk. Give it a few more listens.
Snoops ya got to give it a few more spins.

I've only heard the single (Tattoo) . It's getting really bad press in the U.K . but I think it's pretty good . Over here , the majority hear "Van Halen" and only think "Jump" or worse still , the Sammy Hagar years ( and before the Sammy suporters get shirty , I'm a fan of Montrose , his solo stuff AND Chickenfoot , it's just his work with VH that leaves me cold). One of the things that made the original line up so great was their unpredictability , you literally didn't know what was going to happen next . I'm looking forward to hearing the album and hope they are planning some U.K shows .
