4.0 out of 5 stars A triumphant exit for Diamond Dave. August 10, 2000
By Guybert
Format:Audio CD
This album was the last one that David Lee Roth recorded with Van Halen and he definitely left on a high note. This is a very fun album, with the classic feel-good song "Jump." This song seems to have set the tone for a lot of bands in the years following. "Panama" is one of Van Halen's most beloved songs and can still be heard often on the radio. "Top Jimmy" is one of my favorite songs ever by Van Halen. It's a great country/blues number that is one of their best foot-stompers. "Hot For Teacher" is another highlight, with it's great intro and fast, furious playing. You can tell they probably had a lot of fun doing this one, including the video for the song. Every song is cool on this one and if you've never heard this before, this is essential 80's hard rock that you should definitely check out. If you're already a Van Halen fan, make sure that this is in your collection!

Van Halen's last, and one of the best albums done with Diamond Dave. While the hit 'Jump', and MTV staples 'Hot for Teacher' and 'Panama' may have sold this album already, check out the over-looked rockers 'House of Pain' and 'Girl Gone Ban'. The solos on 'Drop Dead Legs' and 'I'll Wait' are Eddie at his best. No need for the skip button on this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars The other great Van Halen album October 13, 2004
Format:Audio CD
1984 marks the last of Van Halen's 5 star albums .. Also the last studio album with David Lee Roth.

1.1984-A keyboard instrumental. Not one of the bands best IMO. 3/5

2.Jump-The bands biggest chart hit. Not really one of my favorites other than the solo of course, but it's hard to deny the impact it had for years. 4/5

3.Panama-Another one of the bands most popular songs. This one of the more hard pop rock songs the band did. 5/5

4.Top Jimmy-One of the most underrated Van Halen songs IMO. It's a hard rock song with some hints at pop rock with it's hooks. This one is probably my favorite.5/5

5.Just a tad below Top Jimmy. A underrated cut here. Really long solo at the end. 4/5

6.Hot For Teacher-Probably the band at it's best right here. This one flirts into metal.5/5

7.I'll Wait-This is the band at it's most pop. Atleast in the DLR era. It's a ballad filled with keyboards and a restrained but good solo. This shows the band can do what alot of bands can't.. Make a good keyboard filled song. 5/5

8.Girl Gone Bad-This is the band returning to more of it's hard rock roots. Very little pop here. Good solo's as the comes and goes in the song. 5/5

9.House of Pain-Not one of my favorites, but it's probably the hardest rocking song on the album. 3/5

You might ask how this album can get 5 stars with 4 of the 9 songs getting below 5 stars. The fact is that even the lower rating stuff is good, and all the great songs are just that good.

This is IMO the band finally getting to where it wanted to go. They spent albums going back and forth below hard rock and more pop rock type of albums... But the band puts together it's album with both hard rocking tunes and big pop hits. This is where Dave and Ed finally meet in the middle.

It's actually my 3rd favorite album behind Van Halen and Fair Warning.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a year!
Yep! This was DLRs last album with Van Halen, and what a way to depart a saga. This brought back memories when VH was what everyone was lisetning to.

1984 It doesn't seem possible that it was that long ago that these songs were recorded. They are true Van Halen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this album!
The vinyl came in amazing condition but it was poking out of the inner sleeve (no big deal since I have generic ones). Halen needs to be heard on vinyl!
