Van Halen Fair Warning CD

List All Reviews

 Holy crap.
I've been listening to VH for as long as I could (being only twenty years old) and I didn't even start listening to this album until after I'd already memorized 1984 and van halen I. This album is probably my favorite by these guys. It's definitely the funkiest, as well as the most experimental. I dug the sh** out of it, and if you like VH at all - you will too.

 Van Halen - Fair Warning
"Lord strike that poor boy down." This album kicks solid ass!! (I hope I can say that word in this review.) 5 stars all the way. I loved it when it came out and it's still kicking ass!! (oops I said it again.) Van Halen with Roth is the only Van Halen in my opinion. It's solid jams without all the mushy, cheeseball wussy ballads of later years. Who needs it?

 Their Most Uncompromising
This is the album that truly made me apreciate VH. This sure ain't the kind of music party animals (if there any more left among real people) would use as a background for dancing and getting wild. VH take a darker direction and tell us the real story beneath the glam and excess of the virtual life some would want us to dream and pursue. The music gives less emphasis on guitar pyrotechnics and more focus on fitting the mood of the album, sometimes creating the impression that this could be the soundtrack for a "Dirty" exploitation "Movie" of its (or should I say our?) era. An album that deserves to be appreciated, especially in light of the present-day situation surrounding our lives and our future.

 Must Have For Any VH Collection!!!
This is one of my very favorite albums. Just look at all the reviews on this site, nothing under 5 Stars. Just proves my point. Some of the songs are dark, some of the songs are very catchy, and all of them contain some of ED's best riffs. DLR is as colerful as ever, kind of like he is on women and Children First but with darker lyrics. The album has no filler and its a great place to start your VH collection.
