“Beating back Accept’s Stalingrad (the early favorite), as well as strong releases by Slash, and Rush, Van Halen pulled off a miraculous achievement by doing what few thought was still possible. They created an old-school Van Halen album (no hints of Jump part 2 or Panama part 2 here). A Different Kind of Truth features Roth on vocals, and a rejuvinated, on-fire Eddie playing heavier and nastier than he has since the band’s glory days. Well done guys. You surprised us all.”
