5.0 out of 5 stars Best debut ever 10 May 2010
Format:Audio CD
Best debut ever? Quite possibly. When this hit, jaws dropped. Literally. It tore up the old order, chewed it up and spat it out. It completely redefined how to to hard rock. The best front man and guitarist ever, combine with a brilliant rhythm section (and secret weapon backing vocals) to blow the pants off every once before and after. Guitar colleges divide the syllabus between before and after Eddie. Listen to Eurption to find out why. the ultimate guitar bomb.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh... the days when rock was about having fun... 17 Oct 2001
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
Yes, Van Halen 1 is definitely an album that shows a band who are genuinely having a good time. There's also the small point that it is filled with brilliant songs. Eddie Van Halen's virtuoso guitar playing may seem rather strange to people who grew up after Nirvana killed proficiency in rock guitar, but I dare any sane and sensible person not to get addicted to the catchy riffs and wonderful tone of this guitar god. As for the lyrics, well, David Lee Roth does tend to repeat himself a lot in any given song, but there aren't many singers who could have sung "Aint talkin' 'bout love" like he did, and what he lacks in actual singing proficiency he makes up in attitude. As for the stand out songs, well, "Runnin' with the devil" and "Aint talkin' 'bout love" are superb, "Eruption" is breathtaking (for the uninitiated Eruption is Eddie Van Halen's groundbreaking guitar solo), "Atomic Punk" thunders along with true rock 'n roll attitude, and "Little Dreamer" is a pleasantly compelling song. This album is short, but that's a good thing, because you'll be needing heart surgery by the end of "Eruption", and that's only the second song. Also, it's short length prevents the inclusion of any boring filler tracks. Be warned, if depressed as hell nu-metal is your thing (don't worry, you'll grow out of it), then this album isn't for you. This is a band that is enjoying themselves (it was recorded in 1978), and it's one of the most important rock debuts ever.
