Free Music Review: Van Halen - Good, But Not Great
Hit: 4 Stars
The second of the Van Hagar era albums is fairly similar to the first one. The title is a jab at David Lee Roth's first solo album "Eat Em And Smile". The keyboards are toned down a bit on this one, compared to the last two and the guitar more up front for the most part. Hagar's lyrics are a mix of attempted profundity and juvenile sexist schlock like the first single "Black And Blue". The album produced several huge hits most notably "Finish What Ya Started", and "When It's Love" both slightly atypical of Van Halen's usual fare. Hager includes what has become one of his theme songs in the infectious "Cabo Wabo" where he now famously owns the famous Cabo Wabo Cantina nightclub in Cabo San Lucas Mexico. For the most part if you like "5150" you will probably like this one as well. I rate them about the same with Hagar in fine voice and Van Halen screaming on guitar. Good stuff for the most part, but not great.
OU812 Poster
Having proven its Sammy Hagar-led lineup a success with 5150, Van Halen followed that effort with OU812, an album that, despite its cheesy title, is every bit its predecessor's equal, burning with balls-to-the-walls hard rock that never leaves its pop sensibility far behind. From the sweeping power ballad "When It's Love" and the full-on rocker "Finish What Ya Started," to the stringbending showcases "A.F.U. (Naturally Wired)" and "Cabo Wabo" and even an uncharacteristic cover (of Little Feat's "A Apolitical Blues"), Eddie, Alex, Michael, and Sammy play with abandon and a palpable sense of fun. --Daniel DurchholzPop Music CDs
