2 more great songs from the new VH.

I've heard clips from some other songs as well. They sound very inspired and focused. Heavy and quite energetic as well. I'm very, very impressed from what I've heard. And of course very happy.

the full cd has sprung a leak

Due to be released on February 7, 2012, here is a 1st listen to the long-awaited comeback album by Van Halen entitled “A Different Kind of Truth”, their 1st album in over 13 years. The current Van Halen lineup features David Lee Roth on lead vocals, Eddie and Alex Van Halen, and the first to feature Eddie’s 20-year son Wolfgang Van Halen on bass guitar. This edition features the 13 brand new album tracks and note that the scene rip will have the exact same quality since this p2p rip uses Lame 3.98.4 with V0 preset. Rock on!

Description: A Different Kind Of Truth is Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees Van Halen’s first original studio album with singer David Lee Roth since the band’s classic multi-platinum album 1984. It is also the first album of any kind from the band in fourteen years. The album features the single “Tattoo”.

I'm listening to the full album now!

It's awsome!Every song is different!

Honeysweetsatindoll and As is..are my favorites.

Awsome album.

Not like those free albums you get in the newspapers.

Love this track..might be deleted soon due to lawyers n stuff..lol

This one is sick!!

Love it!!!

Eddie is killing!!

I love the new VH! Nice! IMO would still be way better with MA backing vox but it's still pretty good and on the positive side I can see that EVH has fattened up Wolfie on beer and chicken wings so the visuals work live.

The new album is simply put, incredible. I'm overwelmed.

I love it! it beets Chickenfoot III hands down (and that album is pretty good) bravo VH!

Im loving Daves deep throaty rasp on specific portions of songs..sounding like Leonard Cohen mixed with Tom Waits

Right.

Like the breakdown in The Trouble With Never. Very cool music behind it as well.

Loving this.

i like the fact it sounds like a Dave VH album and not a Sammy VH album with Dave singing on it. very little keyboards on it, i'm not dissing the Van Hagar period but i like Dave more.

I am. Fuck that jerk-off vhpoodle hair era 'rock.'

I'm not saying anything negative here in regards to the Hagar period. First off, I was around then and I supported it and I still have the CDs. That said, there is no comparison in mind between the two. And I always very strongly waved a flag for CVH. Often resulting in arguments with friends and colleagues. Lol.

But this new album just shows I was right.

Then again this is a whole new thing with Wolfie in the mix. Who btw, has great vocals, great big phat tone, and chops to boot. So I dunno, CVH, not exactly. How about CVH 2.0. That's what's good.

What's that have to do wit anything? So was I. Do we all have to state we liked all eras when we didn't?

Hell, I even went to a concert during that era (but for certain reasons)

Just trying to be cival and nice. That's all. I understand some people still dig Hagar. Not trying to disrespect anyone. Simple as that. Like I said, there's no comparison in my mind. "Nuff said.

And at the time. I did enjoy those years. Not as much as CVH, but enough I guess to keep buying the product and going to concerts. It was really all for Eddie.

i was very fortunate to attend their performance at Henson studios on Wed night. They sounded great, especially DLR whose voice still has alot of spark. EVH was spectacular as ever, even pulled out the ole FrankenStrat for the new song "Tattoo". Wolfgang was surprisingly very good on bass and harmonizing vocals. They played nothing but classics and three new songs for just over an hour. A night to remember for sure. - also saw Nikka Costa there and got to meet Valerie Bertinelli! very nice as was her husband.

That's awsome!!

Ms.Melvoin from Fdeluxe/The family was there too.I read on FB.

The album is awsome cause it feels like Queen or Jimi Hendrix released an album.That kinda vibe.

Been years since a rock album blew me away.

Really amazing how the whole band plays..Eddie is just amazing!

Big river is so cool!!! Lotta southern blues/soul in there..all kinds of stuff.Pfff.

Yeah i cant stand when people COMPARE, two different vocalists, two different eras. BUT it always go like that with any group or singer that has a career and at some point there is a change in their career, new band member, etc....

This CD also i hope PUTS TO REST that nonsense that artists have their best work when they are young? TOTAL fucking bullshit, i can list about 1,000 albums that proves this all wrong, and add this as album number 1001 that comes from guys in their late 50's. People will commonly say, "you like it for nostalgic reasons" and i say "no, i like it because its a good record" ironically the "nostlagic excuse people" often site past work as an aritsts best....hmmmm whos nostalgic now!

Great freaking record congrats VH

^

Agreed LD.

This is an incredible record. Now I'm hoping this does well so we can get another from them. lol. Either way, I'm gonna be playing this one for quite sometime.
