As I already wrote in the review for the second Van Halen album, they almost only managed to catch the drive of the level of their first masterpiece again on the 1984 album. Right in the middle of this search, Fair warning came out. Let's not talk about sales. VH always sold excellently, and sometimes just incredibly, so this album also became a hit, as it should be. What is much more important — this is the best thing they did in the 6 years between the first and sixth albums. I.e. we feel that slowly but surely VH are returning to the form of the first album. After this, another album will come out half consisting of covers and, actually, 1984. And after that Lee Roth will leave the group, and a completely different history will begin. From the very first notes of Mean street it is clear, this is classic and excellent VH, further Dirty movies — not worse, Hear about it later sounds as if it were a weighted-down Rolling Stones, one cannot miss the excellent guitar theme in Unchained and towards the end you won't be able to stay still under the drive of the short One foot out the door. All this outrage is accompanied by Eddie's virtuoso solos. In the best traditions of the group.
