Van Halen--Diver Down

Van Halen--Diver Down (1982) Rating--7.5

Lots of cover songs, lots of instrumentals... but the boys still manage to pull off a pleasing package. As always, the band excels with the remakes, with lively versions of "Happy Trails," "Dancing in the Streets," and "Pretty Woman".
"Hang 'Em High" is an old-school fast track, and "The Full Bug" reminds a lot of the bouncing energy of "I'm the One" (off the band's debut).
"Where Have All the Good Times Gone!"... one may ask. Right here, baby---This is carefree rock, and another raunchy track and party chorus. Soak up the good times, indeed...
