Van Halen - 1981 - Fair warning

And the hits keep coming!  
Van Halen continue their undefeated streak by releasing a great album for the fourth consecutive year.  
Fair Warning, for me, is actually my least favorite of the first four but it is still amazing when it wants to be.  
You see, Van Halen were a bit haphazard about how they filled out their albums;
often including joke tracks and underwritten songs, and in the case of Fair Warning, only putting out 30 minutes of music.  
But these were the days when your favorite bands released an album a year, so we can forgive them.  
Back then, when a band like Van Halen was in their absolute prime, and could do no wrong,
you would have five or six albums in your collection that captured that magical apex.  
Nowadays bands release material every three years or so, and so much can change in three years that you may miss out;
only getting one or two great albums before the perils of rock ‘n roll change the band.  
Well anyway, Fair Warning is another awesome VH album from that window of time
where their chemistry was so damn electric that they could have gotten away with Roth doing a “bowsie-bowsie-bop”
over the sound of Eddie dropping a deuce.
Fair Warning was released by Warner Bros. Records.  It is certified 2x platinum in the United States.
