Title Note

Van Halen: Sammy Hagar (vocals); Eddie Van Halen (guitar, keyboards); Michael Anthony (bass); Alex Van Halen (drums, percussion).

Recorded at 5150 Studios, Hollywood, California.

In the late '80s, both Van Halen and David Lee Roth were at their commercial peaks, with the two camps competing fiercely against each other for Top 10 dominance. While lacking the overall crunch of earlier albums, OU812 does take the band into credible pop/electronic territory. Showing that party rock can grow and develop, the album contains some premium musicianship.

"Mine All Mine" features Ed Van Halen's continued use of synthesizers and is an introspective tune about believing in one's self. "When It's Love" is a catchy power ballad that continued the band's streak of Top 10 hits, along with "Finish What Ya Started," with its good-natured country licks. "Feels So Good," a 180-degree turn from the heavy rock of the band's early days, is a keyboard-driven pop ditty. The band doesn't totally stray from its roots though, as "Black And Blue" is a greasy, bluesy salute to an active sex life.

5 out of 5 stars for 20 years old......pretty damned good stuff, May 8, 2009
By Tim Mikolay
Lets face it folks. The crap our payola ridden media force feeds us now would have never exposed to the public the likes of any Van Halen album. When is THE LAST TIME any guitarist has had the notoriety of Eddie Van Halen? Luckily, during the 80s after David Lee Roth left and Haggar assumed the position of chief rabble-rouser, our media kept VHs norotiety intact and offered us 0U812. Yeah, "When its Love" is a bit gooey, but musically, I cant find anything comparable to it in this genre. If you have to take the lyrics of a VH song seriously, then youve seriously missed the point. 0U812 is fun, adrenaline pumping rock. Ive always enjoyed how Alex Van Halen knows when to place a cymbal crash and Eddies guitar solo in "Mine All Mine" is one of his best ever. 0U812 is a great album but its also an orange compared to the Van Halen apples of the 70s. Some acquaintences of mine were pretty hyped about digging this album out of their collections to blast it again not only because of Sammy Haggars pipes, but also because of that classic Van Halen sound.
