Aug 8, 2013What were they thinking? They killed the Guitar Hero series by not putting the Sammy Hagar songs in GH:VH and did not do Sammy Hagar songs in this album? They messed up big time. All because of David Lee Roth. He now sucks.

Feb 18, 2012Where has "Diamond Dave" been? Gargling rock salt? The vocals are mostly terrible. No Michael Anthony for harmony makes the vocals even worse. Eddie ... it's called a guitar ... you used to play one.
I had such high hopes for this album as I have always loved VH (yes with Dave or Sammy). Better luck next time. -
Feb 15, 2012Nothing really original here. The sound isn't that good and I was expecting some crazy guitar riffs and thrills. This release was bland and I could have easily missed it. I wanted powerful guitar solos that would make me exited to hear more. This is not what I expected from the master of guitars.

Feb 8, 2012The mighty Van Halen is finally back with the most satisfying, detonating, roundhouse-kick-in-yo-face rock album since 1984!! As a first listener, skip "Tattoo" and go straight to "Honeybabysweetiedoll" to get a true taste of what this album really is about. Also go see them live, because that's where they truly shine!

Metal Hammer (UK)Mar 19, 2012Even though it's good to see Van Halen up and around, A Different Kind Of Truth is not the resurrection that we all dared to dream of. [Apr 2012, p.102]

Mar 13, 2012Once you're past the confusion of any preconceptions, it's a solid rock album.
