Our Take

Ah, Van Halen. The band that taught us all how to jump, shred, and rock out like there's no tomorrow. And now, they're back with a remastered version of their classic album, "Diver Down." So, what's the verdict on this 2015 reissue? Well, let's just say it's a bit like finding a lost treasure in your attic - a little dusty, but still shining bright.

With hits like "Dancing in the Street" and "Pretty Woman," this album is a testament to Van Halen's ability to take seemingly random cover songs and turn them into rock anthems. The band's signature blend of hard rock and pop sensibilities is on full display here, with Eddie Van Halen's guitar work as blistering as ever.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on "Diver Down." The album does have its fair share of filler tracks that feel a bit out of place, like "Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William Now)" and the instrumental "Cathedral." However, these moments are easily forgivable when you consider the sheer energy and charisma that Van Halen bring to the table.

Overall, the 2015 remaster of "Diver Down" is a welcome addition to any music lover's collection. It may not be Van Halen's strongest album, but it's still a damn good time. So grab your air guitar, crank up the volume, and let the rock gods of Van Halen take you on a wild ride. Cheers to that!

About the artist

Van Halen

Ah, Van Halen. The legendary rock band that needs no introduction. With their explosive guitar riffs, powerhouse vocals and wild stage antics, they've been setting the world on fire since the 1970s. Lead guitarist Eddie Van Halen is a true virtuoso, pioneering the use of tapping technique and wailing solos that make other guitarists green with envy. His brother, Alex Van Halen, holds down the beat with precision and power behind the drums. And let's not forget about former frontman David Lee Roth, with his larger-than-life personality and iconic stage presence. His trademark screams and charismatic swagger helped propel the band to stardom. But Van Halen's music is more than just flashy solos and showmanship. Songs like "Jump," "Panama," and "Hot for Teacher" showcase their deft songwriting abilities and ear for catchy hooks. They effortlessly blend hard rock, glam, and pop sensibilities into a sound that's uniquely their own. Their self-titled debut album remains a classic, with anthems like "Runnin' with the Devil" setting the tone for decades of rock music to come. And their influence can be heard in the work of countless bands that followed in their footsteps. So whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, there's no denying the impact that Van Halen has had on the music world. So crank up the volume, grab your air guitar, and let the power of Van Halen rock your world.
