On a T-shirt I read "Give me Van Halen or give me head". If you give me "Van Halen I" and "Van Halen II", I might consider the options, but if it's about this album, I sure wouldn't hesitate going for the head thing. What happened? Van Halen started out as a great band but have gradually lost it. And bringing on Sammy Hagar sure didn't make things better. "OU812" is just mediocre at best. The opening track, "Mine all mine" is the albums' highlight.
