Their singles are usually very good.

And I love the debut, barring Eruption, which is just ass-wankery.

it doesn't sound impressive to me - it's just noodling

just because it's faster and has some relatively new techniques doesn't make it a great song

That's exactly what makes it a great solo.

Favorite album, Debut album (no brainer), although 1984 and F.U.C.K are great too. It got a little to poppy with Hagar, but still made some pretty cool stuff.

No it was a 'There's a blog with a link to the album, why don't you download it, listen to it and then YOU tell ME.'

Good as in it didn't suck.

It would still be my last Van Halen album I would listen to by choice assuming I discount everything they ever recorded from 1986 onwards.

I discount everything after 1984, but, you know... once every couple of years I get to harass you about something.
