Album Notes & Community Reviews
Widely considered their darkest, most aggressive effort, Van Halen's fourth album pushes Eddie Van Halen's furious fretwork and heavy synthesizer experimentation to the forefront. 'Fair Warning' is a profoundly heavy, highly energetic slab of hard rock, featuring incredibly tight, rhythmic grooves and a distinctly menacing atmosphere largely absent from their party-ready catalog.
