Van Halen's Best Album. But it could have used some rapping.
Van Halen with DLR was just a joke. . comon people, spandex? Please. Terrible solos like 'Eruption' and boring stupid albums like 1984 and VH1. .

Things did pick up though, Sammy Hagar brought power and energy into the band, but none of Hagar's work could top this masterpiece! Van Halen 3 has it all; awesome guitar work, great lyrics, top notch singer as well!

The only downside to this album was the lack of rapping, and DJing.

Maybe next time folks! And remember for good Van Halen check out anything after 1984. . . VH1-1984 aren't worth listening too!.


THE TRUE DREAM WAS OVER IN 1984...BUT REVISITED IN 2007!!
I'm so glad the true VAN HALEN lead singer DAVID LEE ROTH is back!!
No more VAN HAGAR, The mighty VAN HALEN has waken up and
brought ROTH back for the final chapter!!
DAVID LEE ROTH + VAN HALEN = THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
I rate this CD a 3 from 1to10!!.


too bad....could have been awesome:(
He was an awesome singer with Extreme. Back when Gary was picked as the new lead singer, I was thrilled. Great showmanship.
But when I heard this album, it sounded as though the band didn't even try. You can tell they were going for the "raw" 90's sound but the album sounds like it was produced in the garage of an amature. The songwriting is almost nonexistant. no hooks no melody. Please don't judge gary by this album. Listen to Extreme's music and you'll get a sense of the potential that was lost here. .


Van Halen
No surprises and a great album. This was shipped to me in a very timely fashion and I received it in the exact condition described. Thanks!.


Because it's Van Halen, two stars...
. . but otherwise a terrible album. Being a huge VH and Extreme fan, I was extremely disappointed with Gary Cherone's vocals here. I thought that his voice, along with Eddie's blazing guitars that it would be great, but boy was I wrong.

Let's be serious, people. If you are going to own one Van Halen album, I can guarantee you 1998's 'Van Halen III' will not be at the top of your list. 'Neworld,' an instrumental piece is the only halfway decent song on the album.

Overall, this is a very poor album. Cherone's vocals are great with Extreme, but his vocal style just doesn't fit Van Halen.

I can't recommend this release to anyone except collectors. A very disappointing release.
