Product Description

Finally the Van Halen classics are repressed in paper sleeves!

Van Halen is in the best sense an artless record, in the sense that it doesn't seem contrived, but it's also a great work of art because it's an effortless, guileless expression of what the band is all about, and what it would continue to be over the years. The band did get better, tighter, over the years — peaking with their sleek masterpiece 1984, where there was no fat, nothing untidy — but everything was in place here, from the robotic pulse of Michael Anthony and Alex Van Halen, to the gonzo shtick of David Lee Roth to the astonishing guitar of Eddie Van Halen. There may have been antecedents to this sound — perhaps you could trace Diamond Dave's shuck-n-jive to Black Oak Arkansas' Jim Dandy, the slippery blues-less riffs hearken back to Aerosmith — but Van Halen, to this day, sounds utterly unprecedented, as if it was a dispatch from a distant star. -Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AMG

エディのギタープレイもさる事ながら、佳曲...

投稿日：2008/02/05 (火)

エディのギタープレイもさる事ながら、佳曲の数々に驚愕。デイヴの器用なＶｏがいろんなフォームの歌を歌い上げる。特にメタル以外も良いものは良いって人には凄くいいはず。もちろんギター弾きにはバイブルでしょう！
