A strong exit for Sammy Hagar.

Review Score: (10/10)
This is Van Halen! So therefore this is going to get five stars from me. They are the greatest rock band in history. Balance is definitely pure Van Halen.

Balance starts out strong with the Seventh Seal. I love this song.

Can't Stop Lovin You comes next. A good, but slightly overrated song.

Then we are taken into the very powerful Don't Tell Me (What Love Can Do) which is one of Van Halen's most intense songs.

Amsterdam comes afterwards and this is rock at it's best.

Big Fat Money made me feel like I stepped back into the old Roth days.

Strung Out sounds cool, in a mystical way.

Not Enough ties up there with When It's Love as Van Halen's best slow song.

Aftershock is awesome!

Doin' Time and Baluchitherium are Eddie and Alex at their finest.

Sammy sounds good on Take Me Back (Deja Vu).

Balance ends on a powerful note with Feelin'. This song is a spectacular end to this spectacular CD.

This music gives you the rockin' ability that only Van Halen is able to provide. This was unfortunately Sammy's last CD with the band and he will be missed.

Van Halen rules!!!
