Title: I like the album and think some people need to get a grip.
Product review: Everyone wants to bash on this album because it doesn't sound like vintage Van Halen. Could some one explain to me what "vintage Van Halen" sounds like then? The guitar licks on this album are meaty and the entire album has a gritty feel to it. Michael Anthony and Alex Van Halen do a great job on this album in creating a great sound to compliment Eddie's gritty guitar work. No, I don't think this is their best album, but Gary Cherone can sing and I for one don't mind if they decide to get a little more serious in their lyrics. They aren't little children anymore and I enjoy seeing a more mature Van Halen speaking out. I really like the new approach and think the album is just their way of experimenting with a new sound. I love "Without You" and "Once." These are awesome songs and will become classics for years to come.
