Awful. I grew up during the time they were good (pre-Sammy). This is embarrassing. Like watching your drunk uncle dance with your sister at a wedding.

Song is pretty lame. No real hook. Forgettable. Performance sounds like they are phoning it in.

Is that Wolfie's girlfriend shooting the video? Nice they try to help out family by giving them jobs!

I'm sorry but the harmony isn't "there". = This isn't Van Halen

Seem's like Bill Murray doing a spoof of David Lee Roth.

IMHO.

Musically it sounds pretty good. Eddie appears to be back in form. Lyrically though it is rather lame! Not the big wow factor I was hoping for from the reformed VH.

I like it. Sound's more like stuff DLR would do solo. I love that little keyboard thingy going on in the background of the verse.

Not bad, not great. I'm glad they're at least making an effort. I think if they focus a bit, cut out the bad boy routine and drama behind the scene, and get down to business, they still have some good stuff to offer.

Is it just me or is that a horrible mix/master job?

I have to say I was expecting at least some digital harmonies that sounded like MA. It just doesn't sound right.

You need to turn the dial.

My favorite band in high school is a mere shell of its former self. Quite frankly, without Mike's harmonies, it doesn't sound like Van Halen.

It's a grower all right, not unlike a fungus. I imagine this album will get a lot of airplay this year. I hope the rest is better than this.
