Our Take

Van Halen - OU812

Van Halen's latest escapade, OU812, is a rollercoaster ride of 80s rock excess. Filled with blistering guitar solos, thunderous drums, and frontman Sammy Hagar's signature wails, this album is a non-stop party from start to finish.

From the hard-hitting opener "Mine All Mine" to the anthemic "When It's Love," Van Halen proves that they still know how to rock after all these years. Hagar's vocals soar over Eddie Van Halen's virtuosic guitar work, creating a sound that is both classic and fresh.

But it's not all sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll on OU812. Tracks like "Cabo Wabo" and "Finish What Ya Started" show a softer side to the band, with tender ballads that showcase their musical versatility.

Overall, OU812 is a nostalgic trip back to the glory days of 80s rock, with Van Halen proving that they still have what it takes to rock the house. So grab your air guitar, crank up the volume, and let Van Halen take you on a wild ride through rock 'n' roll history. OU812 may not be groundbreaking, but it sure is one hell of a good time.

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.
