That’s my ranking.
I actually have the OU812 vinyl sitting here with the Sammy reissue package that just got released. As much as I love ‘When It’s Love’ and Van Halen generally, I’ve never heard the album all the way through. Still willing to bet it’ll end up at the bottom of the list once I do.

Whichever has Finish What Ya Started, which is the best Van Hagar song.
Send the rest of the Sammy stuff to the landfill.

Re: Diver Down vs Van Hagar
5150, then Diver Down followed by FUnlawfulCK, then OU812, then Balance. That's my preferred order, anyway.

The worst Roth era is still way better than the best Sammy era.

Re: Diver Down vs Van Hagar
WRONG...Diver Down is better than VH3 and ADKOT.

Diver Down
I can't believe people would rather hear Why Can't This be Love Walks In Your Butt than Dave/EVH busting out some killer covers...
Diver Down has a few flaws (the cover, for starters), but c'mon guys, Van Hagar ain't as fun.

Re: Diver Down vs Van Hagar
I agree with this. OU812 is the only VH album outside VH3 that I dislike though. Lots of uninspired filler on DD but it's still 1982 Ed and Roth!SchenkerFan wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 12:43 pm Which one of these albums is your favourite?

Amen. Spazzy was the source of infection that eventually killed the band. They definitely got successively worse with each record - don't get me wrong, with a generational musical talent like Eddie there were still moments, but even he couldn't stem the tide of Hagar the Horrible's aggressive mediocrity.

Re: Diver Down vs Van Hagar
That's my order.
Well, I never cared for Balance or OU812 and can't remember anything off them, so I guess joint last for those two.

Diver Down, I can do without the covers, but the original songs were very good.

Re: Diver Down vs Van Hagar
Not sure how an album with She’s The Woman, Chinatown, You And Your Blues, Stay Frosty, Bullethead and As Is could possibly suck. Even taking into account Tattoo and Roth’s extraneous yelping, which could have easily been fixed in the mix.
Conversely, it’s not hard to see how an album with Sucker In A Three Piece, Feels So Good, Black n Blue and Cabo Fucking Wabo does indeed suck.

Re: Diver Down vs Van Hagar
Wanted to write that Cabo Wabo is not bad, then realized it's only the overall crappiness of OU812 that makes a song that would have been below average on other VH albums look good. Otherwise, fully agree.BernieTaupson wrote: ↑Sun Oct 22, 2023 8:00 pm Not sure how an album with She’s The Woman, Chinatown, You And Your Blues, Stay Frosty, Bullethead and As Is could possibly suck.
