Title: Van Halen Goes Synthesizer!
Review: This was the first Van Halen album I ever listened to, in fact I never heard of Van Halen till this came out...I was 12 years old back then and was living on a diet of great bands such as Duran Duran, Culture Club and Kajagoogoo. The album cover was cool, a baby angel with some smokes and the back cover of four long-haired hippys who looked like they came out of some nasty trailer park intrigued me...so I put on the album expecting to hear some ... kickin', fist pumpin', beer guzzlin' mullet rawk but instead I'm hearing sappy keyboards as on the intro 1984 and "Jump" as well as "I'll Wait"...I mean Steve Winwood kicks these guys ..., c'mon I want some rock and roll! There's some hard rock to please any rednecks out there [the majority of Van Halen fans] but I for one was disappointed.
