Free Music Notes for 1984
Free Music Review: Good one but with some annoying keyboards(besides "1984").
Hit: 4 Stars
Well, this is short album - like all made with Roth, only few minutes over half an hour.
It combines some typical VH tunes with synth-based songs.
1 1984 - First keyboards and in fact only one interesting synth track here, too short, Ed could made longer version of it - 8/10
2 Jump - one of the worst VH songs, Van Halen is known mostly because this one, so too bad - 3/10
3 Panama - classic riff for VH, nice song with sound of chain saw in the middle -8/10
4 Top Jimmy - one of the best on this album, fast and smooth pop rock song with nice chorus and GREAT solo, great intro too. 10/10
5 Drop dead legs - it's slow guitar track with long solo at the end, just excuse for Ed to solo?? 7/10
6 Hot for teacher - super drum/guitar intro, very fast song with nice climat of joy -9/10
7 I'll Wait -another keyboard based song nothing interesting besides Alex jazzy drums in the beginning. 4/10
8 Girl gone bad - This is where album really kicks off - good hard rock tune with cool solo -10/10
9 House of Pain - Best song on this album - closest to heavy metal, very melodic. Very good riff, dark climat, nice screams by Roth, and beautiful two part solo. Jam-like ending of this song is interesting while Roth sings rhytmically to guitars. 10/10
Free Music Review: The last from the original line up
Hit: 5 Stars
Before Eddie and Alex decided to kick David Lee Roth out of the band they released 1984. And all was well with the world. This album produced a number of classic moments for the 'big 80's':
- great and fun videos, along with top charting songs.
- Eddie on keyboards enhancing his already awesome rhythm lines on the incredible 'Jump'.
- 'Panama' - a tour de force of guitar and Roth vocal silliness that pushed it right over the top and into maximum MTV rotation.
No one could touch this band in 1984 and this album still stands up. That is if you like shredding guitar, screaming vocals, and hit singles.
Then Eddie and Alex supposedly grew tired of Roth and his goofy actions and kicked him out of the band and went with Sammy Hagar, who did a credible job for a number of years until Eddie and Alex kicked him out of the band.
If you want to know what all the fuss was about in the early to mid-80's then pick this cd up.
Then pick up the earlier releases - most notably VH 1 and VH 2. Then move on the Hagar material. It's not bad - just not as good as 1984 or anything that came before it.
Free Music Review: Hot for van halen
Hit: 5 Stars
1984 is the second best album from the great VAN HALEN after their stupendous debut album.This superb album contains classics like JUMP,PANAMA and my favourite HOT FOR TEACHER.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.Free Music Review: David Lee Roth's last VH album
Hit: 5 Stars
Don't get me wrong, I like Sammy Hagar, but DLR (IMO) was the voice of Van Halen and 1984 was the end of their best albums. 1984 is fantastic. Not a bad cut on it. It ranks just behind their debut for the percentage of good songs it has. "Jump", "Panama", "Drop Dead Legs" and "Hot For Teacher" just to name a few. One of metal's top '80s groups had reached it's pennacle. The group didn't crash but suffered a slow burn out after this album.Free Music Review: SWEET in almost any way!!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is almost perfect in any way. Eddie an Alex Van Halen are the World of Musics Poer siblings by Far. And being the last of the Roth era, He Definitely uses his larynx shredding vocals to acompany The instrumentals.
Top 3 Songs
3. Jump: it's good and all, but it's still overrated.
2. Hot for Teacher: Killer Drums, go Alex!!
1. Panama: Best Guitars ever, go Eddie!!!
Defenitely the bands best album. But of course I knew the band would be great just when I heard the name. Anyone would love a last name like Van Halen.
5 out of 5 stars all the way!!
