		1984 was a successful record not only because it contained solid, catchy hard rock, but also because it incorporated synthesizers into the mix, the first metal album to do so to any serious extent.
		It's come down to this album and their debut being the best albums, which is ironic given that 1984 is more polished, while maintaining the pulsing metal energy.
		What is probably the most creative Van Halen album, and certainly their best, 1984 is the hands down epitome of 80s hard rock, and all 80s music in general.

	1984 (Van Halen album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Arguably, 1984 is Van Halen's most popular album, and their final album featuring singer David Lee Roth, who left the band later in the year over escalating tensions between him and guitarist Eddie Van Halen, as well as Roth's desire to pursue a solo career.
		Additionally, 1984 was the first Van Halen album to be recorded at Eddie Van Halen's home studio, 5150, which lent its name to their follow-up effort, their first album with former Montrose vocalist/guitarist and solo artist Sammy Hagar.
		One of Van Halen's most well known songs, "Panama" was used as the opening theme for the U.S. release of the 2005 videogame Gran Turismo 4.

		Released on New Year's Day, 1984 rocketed to number two on the strength of the number one single "Jump." Like many songs on the album, "Jump" was driven by Eddie's new synthesizer, and while Roth was intially reluctant to use electronics, the expansion of the group's sound was widely praised.
		Van Halen had recently undergone well-publicized treatment for alcoholism, and Hagar was notorious for his party-hearty ways, even writing a paean to Amsterdam's hash bars with "Amsterdam" on Balance.
		Although the album debuted high on the charts, crashing in at number three, it quickly slipped down the charts, since the reception to the album from fans, critics and radio was mixed.

		Things were kept completely hush-hush in the Van Halen camp until early 2001, when David Lee Roth went public on his website with an update, confirming that he had recorded several new songs with the band (tracks that Roth described as amazing, phenomenal, and astonishing), but hadn't heard back from them since the previous summer.

	1984 - Van Halen - Pandora Internet Radio
		Van Halen's 1984 is arguably the best and most defining rock release of the '80s.
		Eddie Van Halen's guest appearance on Michael Jackson's massive 1983 hit "Beat It" introduced VH to the pop audience, which the band attracted in droves with this expertly crafted set of hard rock with pop leanings, not to mention its imaginative accompanying videos.
		Unfortunately, the album would be the last Van Halen recording to feature David Lee Roth, who surprisingly left in 1985 at the height of the band's popularity.

		All of the melodies that Van Halen concocted after 1984 have been soiled by the uninteresting voices of Sammy and Gary, who incessantly degrade the incredible guitar-playing of Eddie Van Halen and ruin otherwise catchy melodies with their lame vocals.
		Also on 1984 are the classics "Jump" and "Panama", which have good reason to be played often on the radio since they're two of Van Halen's finest pieces.
		Van Halen fans certainly ought to purchase this release if they don't have it already, and those who like classic rock should enjoy this CD also.

		Actually, his first four albums are all very strong, its too bad he had a hissy fit when his American label didn't want to release Woman Love and then he walked away from a successful recording career.
		Their last two albums have grown on me, where I actually play them a fair amount anymore, but yeah, they were a step down from Road Food.
		That is an album where the artist is well accomplished enough to provide us listeners with well crafted solos all through the album.

	Review of Van Halen's "1984"
		'1984' is a short, instrumental introduction to the next song and is driven by synthesiser as opposed to the expected guitar.
		Catchy and grand it is one of the two standouts on this album, but it led many rock fans to wonder where all the guitars had gone.
		Strangely for a Van Halen album this is one of only two unadulterated rock numbers on the whole album and, as such, lacks some of the subtleties featured in, say, 'I'll Wait'.

		Eddie Van Halen's venerable, rolling guitar pulled immaculately into place, while his new-found love of the keyboard gave them their first international smash with "Jump".
		van halen are always remembered for having the best guitarist, (eddie van halen) and outragous lead singer (david lee roth) and unfourntatly for people like me, this was the last album together, but what an album to go out with!!!!
		Despite my initial reaction, 1984 isn't too heavy on the synth at all: most tracks are guitar-heavy, such as the excellent Panama (with which I welcomed in 2004) and the awesome boogie Hot For Teacher (which is also a great example of Eddie's brother Alex's superb drumming).

		On the "1984" album, Eddie put his foot down, and got Diamond Dave to agree to three tracks with synthesizers.
		On 1984, Diamond Dave and the gang mix the ude of synthesizers with their metal, which would soon become a Van Halen trademark.

		At least half of the songs on Van Halen's eponymous 1978 debut are still considered classics, and the Eddie Van Halen instrumental "Eruption" revolutionised the guitar community by introducing a technique called finger-tapping into the heavy metal lexicon.
		This album is a tour de force of two handed tapping, dive bombing and all executed with a truly pleasing rock guitar sound which for its time was revolutionary in itself.
		In short, Van Halen's catchy song writing, jaw dropping new technique (which was widely copied in the 80's by many players) set the pace and turned rock guitar on its head in the late 70's/ealy 80's and it's all on display here.

		As many know, Van Halen's first was a masterpiece, a classic show of what rock 'n' roll can be.
		Albums four and five, whose titles I shall not even mention, were great disappointments.
		Quickly follows is the first Van Halen number one song ever, "Jump," which by now is causing your brain to phosphorescent mustard, but is worthy of a gold star.

		For those of you lacking in-depth knowledge of 80's music, this was the album which made the keyboard player an accepted member of the metal band.
		Well 1984 is a wicked album and so-called grunge (soundgarden) is influenced heavily from the 60s and 70s bands, expecially sabbath.

		The album not only shows what Eddie Van Halen can do with a guitar, it shows also the great talent Eddie has with keyboards.
		Undoubtedly the most complete vision of Van Halen's career, 1984 featured faultlessly slick production and the introduction of keyboards helped to smooth out the rough edges.
		Stylistically too, by now the band had perfected their smooth rock hard sound which was heavy and wild enough for the metal crowds, dominated as it was by Eddie Van Halen's amazing fretboard histrionics, yet polished enough for greater radion acceptance than ever before.

		This was released in 1983 and the last album done with original lead vocalist David Lee Roth, before being replaced by Sammy Hagar.
		The album clearly shows Eddie Van Halen as a guitar master, and also on key boards, clearly shown on "Jump" which charted as high as #1.
		The drumming on this album by Alex Van Halen is also top work, and great bass playing by Michael Anthony.

		Van Halen: David Lee Roth (vocals); Eddie Van Halen (guitar, keyboards); Michael Anthony (bass, background vocals); Alex Van Halen (drums, percussion, background vocals).
		Just go and get this one if VH pulls your strings.Is a one for struggling guitarists who want to get inspired as Eddie is not just inspired but downright blistering and god like in his new attack on the hard rock guitar idiom.
		1984 (while not quite as good as their self-titled album) is certainly fit to stand in the pantheon of great hard rock albums.
