External Reviews
"We gave the album a very positive review, and consider the album to be an "essential purchase."
They wrote, "It's difficult to overstate the effect VH's debut had upon its release. With the music world split between punk, disco and prog rock, Van Halen combined a dazzling live show with a party-hearty motto and, in Eddie Van Halen, a guitarist who redefined what was possible on six strings. His sound on this album - christened 'The Brown Sound' - remains the holy grail of guitar tones" - Kerrang Magazine.
"I had sort of heard of Van Halen from time to time, but they didn't really enter my universe in any great way (even though I am a child of the 80's). Tried this album on a whim and also because of the reviews left by other people. It really was a bit of a "where have you been all my life?" moment when I first heard that guitar tone and the riff for "Ain't Talkin' Bout Love". US rock can be too "obvious" at times for me- but this is a great, fun album. Fast-paced and funky with a knowing twinkle in it's eye and quite simply some of the best guitar playing I have ever heard." - Amazon Review.
AI Summary
