Album Notes & Community Reviews
Van Halen's third studio album perfectly solidifies their unparalleled mastery of arena-ready, sun-drenched California hard rock. Featuring significantly heavier guitar textures from Eddie Van Halen and David Lee Roth's signature sexual swagger, 'Women and Children First' is an incredibly energetic, deeply playful celebration of high-octane hedonism and rebellious party anthems.
