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 Roth, and Eddie Van Halen's magical soloing. Alex Van Halen's playing takes a slightly complex turn on "Outta Love Again" with some funky drum fills. Eddie shows his versatility with the gorgeous, flamenco-styled solo "Spanish Fly." The band kicks it full throttle once again on "D.O.A.," which accelerates to a mighty finish. "Women in Love" features lessons from Mr. Roth on dealing with female fickleness. VAN HALEN II would go on to be a huge success, reaching the U.S. Top 10. This remastered album leaves the band sounding better than ever.

All tracks have been digitally remastered.

5 stars Van Halen Did It again!
Van Halen Does It Again with their follow up album to the critically acclaimed Van Halen 1, Van Halen 2. In my personal oppinion I favor this album over Van Halen 1. This may sound quite crazy but if you really think about it that makes sense. Van Halen 1 is a great, down in the dirt, good ol rock and roll album, but the songs sound quite the same. Van Halen 2 has many songs that have great hooks and just fun party music. I have to say the opener You're No Good and Outta Love Again might not be so great but the rest of the album kicks ass. In Conclusion, great songs , great solos, and great hooks.

5 stars Wow - to those that dissed this album - wtf
are thinking? VH - VHII and Fair Warning are the best that they have ever done and honestly, VHII can be put up against anything any other band has done and it will blow them away.
