HMV Review

It's called Van Halen II not just because it's the band's second album but because it's virtually a carbon copy of their 1978 debut, right down to how the band showcases their prowess via covers and how Eddie Van Halen gets a brief, shining moment to showcase his guitar genius. This time, he does his thing on acoustic guitars on the remarkable "Spanish Fly," but that temporary shift from electrics to acoustics is the only true notable difference in attack here; in every other way, Van Halen II feels like its predecessor, even if there are subtle differences. First, there's only one cover this time around — Betty Everett's "You're No Good," surely learned from Linda Ronstadt — and this feels both heavier and lighter than the debut. Heavier in that this sounds big and powerful, driven by mastodon riffs that aim straight of the gut. Lighter in that there's a nimbleness to the attack, in that there are pop hooks to the best songs, in that the group sounds emboldened by their success so they're swaggering with a confidence that's alluring. If the classic ratio is slightly lighter than on the debut, there are no bad songs and the best moments here — two bona fide party anthems in "Dance the Night Away" and "Beautiful Girls," songs that embody everything the band was about — are lighter, funnier than anything on the debut, showcases for both Diamond Dave's knowing shuck and jive and Eddie's phenomenal gift, so natural it seems to just flow out of him. At this point, it's hard not to marvel at these two frontmen, and hard not to be sucked into the vortex of some of the grandest hard rock ever made. -Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AMG

    全ロック・ファンにとって、Van Halenのデビュー作は、まさに衝撃的であったろう。「炎の導火線」は名実共に超名盤である。その名盤のプレッシャーと期待を一心に背負い、満を持して発売されたこの2nd「伝説の爆撃機」は、1stをも凌ぐ出来に仕上がっている。1stが、荒削りな、若干パンキッシュで尖った勢いを感じさせるアルバムであったのに対し、本作は、カラフルな印象のもと、Eddie Van Halenの引き出しの多さを実感できるものとなっており、Dave Lee Rothというリード・シンガーが稀代のエンターテイナーとしての才能を発揮して、あらゆるカラーに楽曲を染めていっているような作品である。Michael Anthonyの高音コーラスも、控えめながらVan Halenサウンドには欠かせない絶妙のスパイスを加えてくれている。カヴァー曲でもある@の“You’re No Good”はオープニングを飾るには、いささか地味な気がする。Aの“Dance The Night Away”から、アメリカ西海岸のノリノリの良さをイメージさせる「カラッ!!!」とした佳曲が続くんですよ。Bの“Somebody Get Me A Doctor”は、1stを彷彿とさせる少々パンキッシュ、且つグルーヴィーな感じの曲です。そして何と言っても、Eに名曲“Light Up The Sky”が控えています。この曲は、初期Van Halenの真骨頂、全ての才能と技術の粋を結集した最高の楽曲です♪♪♪それからギター・キッズへの止めはFの“Spanish Fly”。みんなの度肝を抜いた「ライト・ハンド奏法」による1stの超・超・超名曲“Eruption(邦題:暗闇の爆撃)”を凌駕するFは、ガット・ギターによるライト・ハンド奏法は、更に鼻血ものでした!!!!今まで紹介した他にも、“Bottoms Up!”や“Outta Love Again”、“D.O.A.”、“Women In Love...”の佳曲がありますが、アルバムの最後を締める“Beautiful Girls”は、またまた絶品で、超美味なEddieのギターとDaveのパフォーマンスが楽しめる名曲です!Van HalenのDave〜Sammy Hagar時代の作品は、どれも捨て難いのですが、Dave時代の代表作は、敢えて本作を捨て曲無しの名盤・名作と推薦させていただきたいと思います★彡

    ジャケは硬い感じがするが、超名盤の前作より本作の方がV.H(特にデイブ)らしい西海岸の明るさ、軽さがある。2は映画「ミッション・トゥ・マーズ」に使われた。
