This time they got it right! Excellent album!

Review Score: (10/10)
I thought that this Van Halen album was smartly compiled and done. Though not in chronological order, they blended the songs to how they sound back to back. I have played this on and off the past 5 weeks since I bought it while on vacation in Amarillo, Texas during a road trip out west. The '78 songs with Roth balance well with the '80s hits by Sammy Hagar. The live songs fit well with this album. I still love Panama and its crunchy, fast, big over the top sound! I liked the three new songs that followed Eruption. And I like that Mike Shipley got to record with VH on the mixing part--he's one of my favorites! so Most purists would not agree with this decision, but they're Van Halen and they do what they want! Fine, rocking collection--get 10, 20, maybe 30 copies of it to send to your friends and comrades!!!!!!
