5/5 ·
1967/ 1976
Van Halen is sure one of my all time preferred bands and "Van Halen" is sure one of my all time preferred albums. This mix of R'n'R, Hard Rock and Blues is incredible now as 32 years ago. This because "Van Halen" today is better than in 1978 ( Honestly even I am better than that 1978, the year in which I was born). Today, in this moment, my heart aches for a girl who, not everything went well in his life but I discovered that I love just now started my second experience working farm where she works. Unfortunately I have to wait mid-September to declare my love ... And having to do all day with this girl is difficult. But "Van Halen" save me!

Basically "Van Halen" is a Rock album with Punk attitude, sure. And in my view Van Halen plays as a possible Kinks' evolution (that "You Really Got me" is a Kinks song is only a case). I love songs as "Runnin' With The Devil", "You Really Got Me", "Ain't Talkin' 'bout Love", "James Cryin'", "Feel Your Love Tonight" or "Little Dreamer" send a positive charge as a few other songs manage to convey to me. Sincerely, "Van Halen" in my head does not sound like revolutionary or historical album, but only as an excellent debut album. "Eruption", of course, is a masterpiece of guitar technique but ... I'll be honest ... What I find magic in "Van Halen"? Perhaps the only certainty you have in your hands an album that I've always liked. Since I was born.

On that day in mid-September, I'll give this CD to Michela, along with red roses.
