Title: Lead Singer Disease
Product review: Let's be frank: they blew all their good stuff for this record on "Without You", a fine, fine tune. The rest of the album is execrable. "Primary" is the only other worthwhile track, for obvious reasons. The music on some of these tracks is actually good and, for Van Halen, a departure from previous work. But it simply cannot get past Cherone's awful vocals (he was actually decent with Extreme... here he sounds like he's been drinking Sammy's tequila) and his even worse lyrics.Eddie complains about Lead Singer Disease... get a clue, dude, ditch the singers and make VH an instrumental trio. Mike and Alex have a very good groove together; let them work on good fundamentals so you can lay your guitar on top. I love listening to "Baluchiterium", for example. You guys needs to make an album of nothing but ear-popping rock, without some guy preening on the microphone. And forget about the damn ballads! They never worked for you!
