Van Halen 1984 Rock Music CD Review

The exceptionally talented Rock group Van Halen have released their CD entitled 1984. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Van Halen fans, and Rock fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of 1984 their artistic excellence is on full display as they have once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be their best work to date.

It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply isn’t a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all.

One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you’ve got one of Van Halen most impressive releases ever.

If you're even mildly into Rock music you'll enjoy this album. Overall 1984 is an a great release. I give it my double thumbs up. You will not be disappointed with one single track.

While the entire album is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 5 - Drop Dead Legs, track 8 - Girl Gone Bad, and track 9 - House Of Pain.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - 1984. Outstanding!
