#1167 Van Halen - Van Halen

Van Halen falls into that category - I don't know what it's called, but it includes Van Halen, AC/DC and Aerosmith, bands making that sleazy, slightly adolescent, arena-ready, fist pumping, pre-80's 80's rock that I generally don't much like.

If you're going to listen to an album like that though, this is one of the best of the lot. The guitars are legit, with that cavernous live reverb and these impossibly overlayered vocals, the band singing along with itself. It's vital, rocking, and barely embarrassing at all! 3.5/5
