Having heard the new VH, I'd say it's much better than I expected but I didn't hear any tracks which can compete with their biggest hits from the past. It's an album of second-tier Van Halen, without the high points of their older albums.

I'm happy with it, basically because second-tier Van Halen is preferable to just about any other "first-tier" band playing this style of hard "party rock". This particular stripe of hard rock I lost interest in around 1985 (it was replaced by my interest in heavier acts at the time like Metallica, Slayer, etc.) and I never really got nostalgic for this sound...until I heard a few tracks from this new Van Halen on the radio. Even though I can't see it having any long-lasting effect on my musical tastes...it is however nice to have some new material from this particular band.

Been spinning Fair Warning the past couple days

First heard FW on KLOS in Santa Monica on Sunday nights when they would play entire LPs

Underrated VH album...

Fair Warning is great, not quite as much of a "party record" but I think one of their best overall.
