Warmed up from a recent world tour, they were firing on all cylinders and produced an eponymous sequel that rivals the dangerous, dynamic appeal of that first release. \u003ci\u003eII\u003c\/i\u003e thrives on bad-boy party anthems (“Beautiful Girls”) and features some of Van Halen’s meanest rockers yet (“D.O.A.”), but it likewise spread the band’s wings with harmonic-tapping pop-rock (“Dance the Night Away”) and acoustic virtuosity (“Spanish Fly”). Fiendishly fun and meant to be cranked as loud as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eLimited 180gm vinyl LP repressing.
