Free Music Notes for Van Halen IIFree Music Review: Van Halen II is great Hit: 5 StarsVan Halen's first album titled Van Halen was followed up by Van Halen II. I thought the first album could not be matched, but was surprised that it was surpassed by the guitar work and vocals on Van Halen II.
I fully recommended this one back when it first appeared all those years ago and I do the same today!
Free Music Review: Strong but not Van Halen's best [4.5 stars] Hit: 4 StarsVan Halen II is a really good rock album. There's not a bad song on it. It's straight-forward rock with a pinch of funk in spots. The problem, for me, has always been that it was the follow-up to one of the best rock albums ever made. Several other albums in the Roth era were much stronger, particularly Fair Warning and 1984. VHII is certainly a worthy effort, it's just bookended by much better albums.
Free Music Review: The best Hit: 5 StarsMaybe the best Van Halen album ever. And to quote Dave. "It's like the guy says in that movie I Hate You. The best comedy ain't always funny". Van Halen is America's greatest rock band. If you don't have this cd buy it.
Free Music Review: Like Van Halen 1 and thats a good thing Hit: 5 StarsVH II is like a continuation of the first classic. It has the strong originals, Eddies solo(this time on acoustic) and the cover song, "you're no good". Good second album, no musical growth here, but still just as good as the first.
Free Music Review: One of the Greatest Riffs Ever Hit: 5 StarsI think Van Halen maintained the brilliance started on their first album with their second release. Not as many singles as #1, but just as good of songs. The real stand-out is "D.O.A." which features Diamond Dave and Eddie both doing what they do best (heck props to Alex as well). This album is an essential item if you are starting up your Van Halen collection, as if that really needs to be stated.
