Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential recording: At least half of the songs on Van Halen's eponymous 1978 debut are still considered classics, and the Eddie Van Halen instrumental "Eruption" revolutionized the guitar community by introducing a technique called finger-tapping into the heavy metal lexicon. A magnificent debut for sure, but maybe the band should have held onto a few of their blockbuster tunes to bolster the lean years that started after 1984, and continue to the present day. Regardless, Van Halen amply demonstrate their drive, showmanship, and musicianship throughout, blowing the needle off the scale on such tracks as "You Really Got Me," "Jamie's Cryin'," "Runnin' with the Devil," and "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love." --Jon Wiederhorn Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great DebutThis album was released in 1978 and is their best album with David Lee Roth. The opening song is Runnin with the devil, which is in my opinion has the best backup vocals from eddie and michael, the 2nd song is Eruption, there are no vocals, just an amazing guitar solo from Eddie, the 3rd song is originally sung by roy orbison, which is called oh pretty woman. The song Jamies cryin is a great song to, but alex van halen said that is his least favorite song in the entire song catalog Rating:  - The crown jewel in Van Halen's catalogI am a big Van Halen fan, and I will say this: After listening to all of their records, I have come to the conclusion that their debut is their finest. In many artists' cases, the debut album is usually one of the weakest in the catalog. But not in Van Halen's case. 1978 was a year of change in rock and roll. The punk rock movement was well underway, and heavy metal was at it's finest. Van Halen emerged; led by Eddie Van Halen, probably one of the best guitarists of our time, and "Diamond" David Lee Roth as the vocalist. The debut album has got to be one of the best albums of the '70s. 'Atomic Punk,' 'Running With The Devil,' 'Eruption,' 'You Really Got Me' and one of my personal favorites, 'Ice Cream Man' are all here. ...

Sure, The Ramones turned things upside down in '76 with their first album (and thank god for that), but they were (a) almost completely ignored at the time, and (b) treading the path that the Dolls and Dics had blazed. Somehow, though, 1978 saw the birth of both new wave (Cars) and new (neu?) metal, and people paid attention, buying these albums in droves. (When was the last time that two new, different genres emerged at the same time?) Not only were Van Halen way cooler than any other "metal" band at the time (sorry Buck -- the mustache was totally Members Only, no matter how much one loved the drum solo in "Godzilla"), but they were heavier when they ...

Rating: - Who in THIS world gave Van Halen 1 a 1 star rating???Ok, I was buying the Jamie's Crying mp3 and I noticed that Van Halen 1 only got 4.5 stars with 306 reviews. I had planned to sit back and ENJOY all of the samples but those 4.5 stars were a terrible reminder that something was seriously wrong with some people in this world. I do not mean that maliciously as I am not a malicious person. However, we are speaking of VAN HALEN 1 PEOPLE!!! This is probably the absolute best album of all time. This guys revolutionized just about everything in the business. If they didn't they might as well have because EVERYONE loved them. I seriously do not remember a single soul who do not at least like them. Even the rednecks and preppies liked them and then you kinda had to force that out of them ... Read More: |
