Henry Reviews VAN HALEN - "1984" Album

Henry Peralta of the band Blue Monday and Wild Card reviews Van Halen "1984 Album" - the iconic album by a band that was one of the dominant sounds on radio and a permanent fixture on MTV with their iconic videos.  Henry is joined by Rob Pope who is Tom Pope's partner on the Sports Guyz Podcast, to discuss Rob's favorite band, Van Halen, and to bring the podcast a lot of funny stories about Van Halen and their crazy behind the scenes antics and wild behavior.  Rob and Henry also break down each track on the album and some history behind each song.

1984 is the sixth studio album by American rock band Van Halen, released on January 9, 1984. It was the last Van Halen studio album until A Different Kind of Truth (2012) to feature lead singer David Lee Roth, who left the band in 1985 following creative differences with Eddie Van Halen.  This is the final full-length album to feature all four original members (the Van Halen brothers Eddie and Alex, Roth, and Michael Anthony), although they reunited briefly in 2000 to start work on what would much later become 2012's A Different Kind of Truth.  1984 and Van Halen's self-titled debut album are the band's best-selling albums, each having sold more than 10 million copies each in the United States.

Following the tour in support of their fourth studio album, Fair Warning, the band initially wanted to slow down and take a break.  They released just one single, "(Oh) Pretty Woman"/"Happy Trails", intended to be a stand-alone release.  However, the band's label asked for another album due to the A-side's success and the band recorded their fifth studio album, Diver Down, very quickly.  Following the recording of the album, guitarist Eddie Van Halen was dissatisfied by the concessions he had made to Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth and Warner Bros. producer Ted Templeman.  Both discouraged Eddie from making keyboards a prominent instrument in the band's music.

By 1983, Eddie was in the process of building his own studio, naming it 5150 after the California law code for the temporary, involuntary psychiatric commitment of individuals (who present a danger to themselves or others due to signs of mental illness), with Donn Landee, the band's longtime engineer (and later, producer on the 5150 and OU812 recordings).  While boards and tape machines were being installed, Eddie began working on synthesizers to pass the time. "There were no presets," said Templeman. "He would just twist off until it sounded right."  There, he composed Van Halen's follow-up to Diver Down without as much perceived "interference" from Roth or Templeman.  The result was a compromise between the two creative factions in the band: a mixture of keyboard-heavy songs, and the guitar-driven hard rock for which the band was known.  1984 was the longest-in-the-making album of the band's career to date, taking about three months to record.
