1984

Great product! Fast shipping!!

I never actually looked at the playlist of 1984 and didn't realize how many generational bangers are on this album. Hot for Teacher and Panama sound very crisp and I couldn't be happier with it. If you're on the fence just do it. Not sure how many Millennials or Gen-X would toe the line, but you won't be sorry.

Good seller great cd

Buy it has great songs

Whenever you talk about synthesizers these days, most people remember the synth-pop sounds of acts from the 80's like Thomas Dolby and Information Society. Few of them recall (at least at first) Van Halen, who merged synthesizer sounds with sonic guitar solos on "1984." Van Halen made it okay for hard rock bands to use synthesizers. Sure, bands like STYX incorporated such instruments into their music, but they weren't considered rock gods on the same level as Eddie and Co. With this album came the mega-hit, "Jump." It brought Van Halen's sound into the mainstream radio arena and exposed them to a lot of people who didn't listen to rock music up to that point. It also gave us "Panama," "I'll Wait," "Drop Dead Legs" and "Girl Gone Bad." Sure to remind us that these synthesizing boys still know how to be bad, Alex Van Halen hits the listener with a barrage of drums to open up my personal favorite on this album, "Hot For Teacher." This song is almost a kick in the teeth compared to the rest of the album. It's nothing more than dirty fun and pure rock n' roll. This is definitely one of the best albums ever cranked out by Van Halen before Sammy Hagar took the frontman position. Heck, it's one of the best Van Halen albums ever. I highly recommend it to any fan of true hard rock music. It's a great album.

Item arrived as described, no issues. I recommend this item & seller

Love the album, growing up listening to Van Halen. I was a little disappointed that Michael Anthony’s bass almost sounds muted. It’s like listening to the Metallica Black album. Maybe it’s just my old ears.

Great music. They don't make it like that anymore.

Great tracklist and really good quality audio capture on vinyl.

As everyone knows, their great frontman left after this amidst much recrimination and blaming-each-other on the parts of EVH and Roth. It`s pretty scary that it all happened 23 years ago (I missed it being too traumatising back then, due to my age)...but if only Eddie wasn`t in and out of rehab in 2007 and they could just get along I`d still love to see the classic VH line-up live, and even better, record some new stuff. I still think 6 amazing albums is a pretty decent output, and can`t think of many other bands who`ve managed that. 1984 isn`t my favourite, but it`s still a stunning, 5-star effort. The band weren`t all that happy with Eddie starting to throw a few keyboard numbers in and I think I agree with them, but "Jump" and "I`ll Wait" are great songs, just not the hard rock we`d learned to adore from the previous albums. "Jump" has one of Eddie`s greatest guitar solos on for sure. It`s not really that song though that makes the album so special. There a three or four others that are a sign of a band at it`s absolute peak. Firstly, "Panama", classic Roth, with the sort of tongue-in-cheek sleaze that VH never showcased again with Sammy Hagar. Classic Eddie too, he just blows me away every song. Alex and Mike are great as ever too. "Hot For Teacher" is wonderful too, funny and loud and a real party song! "Top Jimmy", "Drop Dead Legs" and "Girl Gone Bad" would be career-best songs by any other rock `n` roll band. My favourite song though is one of the less heralded VH tracks and the album closer, "House of Pain". It`s almost as though Eddie had distilled all his anger with Roth`s antics and released it in the form of this huge, monster of an attacking solo. It was one of the earliest written VH songs that missed the cut on all their other albums but Alex insisted it was on this time and thank God. If I could play the solo I would die a satisfied man...it`s amazing and I`m always stunned by it...I know guitar playing isn`t all about speed, and that`s why I love EVH because the feel is incredible too and it`s perfect. So, buy it. And revel in the greatest four-piece rock band there ever was (and who knows...perhaps they will be again one day)!

A must have for Glam Rock Fan ❤️❤️❤️

Je suis entièrement satisfait de cet album composé de 9 chansons. C’est la version de1984, mais remasterisée. J’avais déjà la version de 1984, soit la version originale. Mais je voulais avoir aussi la version remasterisée de 2015. Le son est excellent. Je vous recommande fortement cet album Cet album est sortir en 2015 sous étiquette Warner Records Canada. Bonne Écoute !!!

1984 o MCMLXXXIV (como lo marca su portada), fue el último disco de la banda con David Lee Roth como vocalista, y sin duda es un auténtico clásico en toda la extensión de la palabra. El hecho de tenerlo físicamente en vinilo le da un toque mágico que solamente la música en este formato nos permite. Evidentemente vienen los clásicos Jump, Panama, Hot for Teacher, entre otros. El disco es una réplica e incluye un insert con datos técnicos de la grabación.
