This was vocalist David Lee Roth's final record for the band and as such, the album stands as a testament of worth somewhere between high camp and high class. Eddie Van Halen's venerable, rolling guitar pulled immaculately into place, while his new-found love of the keyboard gave them their first international smash with "Jump." However, it is the quite demented rush of "Panama," and the hilarious "Hot For Teacher," with Roth exuding a droll litany of school-yard fantasies over a thunderous Alex Van Halen backbeat, that gives ultimate credence to the rock 'n' roll party that was the Roth/Van Halen partnership.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.
Recorded at 5150 Studios, Hollywood, California.
Van Halen: David Lee Roth (vocals); Eddie Van Halen (guitar, keyboards); Michael Anthony (bass, background vocals); Alex Van Halen (drums, percussion, background vocals).

Rolling Stone - #81 in Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Albums Of The 80s" survey. (November 1989)
Q (5/95, p.136) - 3 Stars - Good - "...12 years on, it sounds fine, thanks to its ability to surprise and its dextrous, disciplined execution..."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.52) - "[T]his may have been Lee Roth's swansong, but he left on the highest of notes." 1984 Music Review Average Rating: (4.8 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Hot - and not just for teachers!
Grow your hair ,wear outrageous clothes -be totally uncool but be safe in the fact that you are listening to one of the true great bands at the peak of their ability and an icon for all the pretenders that followed.The maturity of execution in all aspects of their delivery in this excellent album is something to behold after their debut album blew me away . Just go and get this one if VH pulls your strings .Is a one for struggling guitarists who want to get inspired as Eddie is not just inspired but downright blistering and god like in his new attack on the hard rock guitar idiom . pentatonics abound without a cage .This is one graet album.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  One of the greatest rock albums of all time...
Wow... think I oversold it a bit? Yeah, probably. But this is a great album full of prime examples of Van Halen (with DLR at front) at it's best. Some of the more noteable songs on here are ones you may have never heard (if you've never owned it). Stand out tracks (to me) include "House of Pain", "Girl Gone Bad", and the distorted, but bluesy "Drop Dead Legs". Definitely worth picking up if you are a fan of "good" 80's rock (if there is such a thing), and if you haven't had much exposure to the band's earlier work.

1984 album
 $10.39    
While it's tough to follow up a classic, VAN HALEN II comes close to matching the brilliance of the band's debut. Once again, the record begins with a fat bass line from Michael Anthony, and his piercing background vocals are featured on "You're No Good," an explosive cover of the Linda Ronstadt tune.
While the group's early material was slightly too heavy for Top 40 airplay, here they take a commercial stab with the brilliant "Dance the Night Away" and "Beautiful Girls." "Somebody Get Me a Doctor" features the trademark wails of David Lee ...

1984 CD music
$22.19
This 2003 debut release from Atlanta based indie-rock outfit The Hiss contains 12 tracks including "Clever Kicks" and "Listen To Me".
On its debut album Panic Movement, Atlanta's the Hiss crafts a snarling brand of garage rock that isn't quite as raw and urgent as, say, the Von Bondies, but isn't as polished and premeditated as the D4. Named for an avant-garde art movement, the album finds the band trying to weld some challenging lyrics and imagery to its loud, often dense music; sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. "Imagine being stabbed by all your friends," sings Adrian Barrera on the paradoxically named "Triumph," and it fits the song's sense of claustrophobic menace; however, "We know what you've been eating in your fancy restaurants and we don't like it" just detracts from "Not for Hire"'s angry-young-man stance. Likewise, the Hiss also borrows from other styles of music with mixed results; as its name implies, "Riverbed" is a bluesy, Led Zep-inspired outburst that borders on metal, while "Ghost's Gold" is a plodding epic that tends to diffuse into psychedelic haze as it unfolds. Like many garage rock bands, the Hiss is most powerful in small doses, and at this point, the band's most straightforward songs work the best. "Clever Kicks" is a fierce statement of purpose, and while "Back on the Radio" and "Brass Tacks" aren't as dynamic or fully formed, they're still decent enough examples of garage rock revivalism. Not coincidentally, the breathers the band takes between Panic Movement's rockers end up being some of the album's highlights. "Hard to Lose" boasts sweet vocals and even sweeter guitars; on songs like this and "Listen to Me," the Hiss sounds like a harder-edged Oasis -- not a bad thing at all. Alternately too predictable and too quirky, Panic Movement reveals the Hiss is an ambitious band who can't always deliver on its goals. Perhaps the group's next album will have a better balance of firepower and finesse. ~ Heather Phares
