I never even realized that they had released a new album, I did hear rumours of it a couple of years ago when DLR was back in the fold. Van Halen may have lacked some of the songcraft of their rivals but they added real glamour to metal without actually being a glam metal act and through DLR they really added a lot of sexuality and humour to the genre as well. For these reasons alone and some great albums they should rank in any top 20 metal list.
Its good to see DLR looking pretty good and I'm glad he didn't try and squeeze into a lycra jumpsuit
