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).

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."

Great success of Van Halen at commercial level for the world, detaches music of high quality as Jump, Panama, Hot Goes Teacher. Eddie Van Halen as always is a king. Extraordinary

5 stars 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.

4 stars 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.
