Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded in under a week to capitalize on the massive success of their debut, Van Halen's sophomore effort is an incredibly fun, fiercely energetic continuation of their stadium-rock formula. 'Van Halen II' relies heavily on Eddie's virtuosic fretboard tapping and David Lee Roth's charismatic squeals, delivering a deeply playful, party-ready hard rock triumph.
