Enough of this bilious swill!

Review Score: (2/10)
The Van Halen of the Hagar era sounded like Journey. This sounds like a bad tribute band version of the disappointing devolution of Van Halen into Van Hagar. The majority of the remaining fans of a once exhilarating band want the return of the David Lee Roth (DLR) - fronted version. Although Van Hagar had more number 1 albums the DLR fronted Van Halen sold far more units - by a nearly 2 to 1 margin and remain the calssic Van Halen played on classic rock stations today. I would rhetorically ask Ed Van Halen - is it so wrong to give the fans who've made you rich what they want? Don't you think Steven Tyler or Mick Jagger give their guitarists a migraine from time to time? Yet they, like David Lee Roth, front a band like you play guitar - as only a handful of charismatic lead singers can. And doesn't Van Halen's legacy, like its fans, deserve better than unflattering comparisons to Journey?
