Title: Van Halen III Terrible- huge disappointment to a 20 year fan
Product review: Folks, don't believe any of the few positive reviews you may find posted here for Van Halen III. This album is absolutely terrible. If these tunes were being shopped to record execs by a no-name band, doors would have been slammed after bodies were kicked to the curb. This release is truly shameful.I have followed Van Halen since their debut in '78, and have enjoyed EVERY album they have released. This one is, in a word, lame. NOT because it "dares to be different", but because it "dares to be worthless". Terrible vocals, terrible lyrics, terrible tunes.Guitar playing is great, of course, but how can you bear to listen to it through the boring, self-indulgent, and heartless tracks on this CD?Just get an mp3 of "Fire in the Hole" (the only good tune) from a pal. Then take your $ and spend it on an artist who is creating something from the heart, be it Kid Rock, classical, or even Britney Spears!
