VAN HALEN: VAN HALEN II
Released in 1979, "Van Halen II" features 31 incandescent minutes of heavy rock and roll to blow disco music and new wave out of the water. All the qualities that made the debut such a success were still here. The charisma of David Lee Roth and inventive riffing of Eddie Van Halen still at center stage, as they should be, the rhythm section of Alex Van Halen on drums and bassist Michael Anthony airtight and bumping, and the backing vocals of Mike and Ed once again eliciting a smile whenever they appear. Eddie's guitar tone and playing is just as monstrous as it was on the first outing, but sounding even more off the cuff and immediate.
