Free Music Notes for Balance
Free Music Review: "Balance" delivers!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is by far my favorite Van Halen album to date. I can't say that I particulaly dislike any of the songs on this CD, and Balance has produced just as many favorites for me as all of VH's earlier ones combined, as well as my favorite VH performance, "Baluchitherium". Eddie Van Halen is in high gear all throughout this album, and even a casual Van Halen fan should be satisfied with his (as always) killer guitar solos; Sammy Hagar is as good as ever, although I'm sure that a lot of people won't care for the nonsense in "Big Fat Money",---regardless, I still love the song. "Can't Stop Lovin' You", "Amsterdam", "Big Fat Money", "Baluchitherium", and "Take Me Back (Deja Vu)" are all great songs and immediately found a place on my mp3 player; this album isn't perfect, but it sounds fresh and clear, and the three instrumentals add to the general effect.
Now if only Eddie & Alex Van Halen would ever release a solos album...I loved "Doin' Time" and "Baluchitherium", and another "Respect the Wind" would be welcomed too.
Balance Poster
No numeric or anagrammatic puns in the title of album #11, a sure sign that a new chapter is opening for these monsters of '80s rock. The band's formula has been polished to a blinding gleam here by producer Bruce Fairbairn, and there's a formidable mix of radio cuts (the first single "Don't Tell Me," "Can't Stop Lovin' You"), boneheaded rawk numbers ("Amsterdam," "Big Fat Money") and towering, cinematic epics ("The Seventh Seal," "Feelin'"). --Jeff BatemanPop Music CDs
