The title track, which opens the album, i^.a
rebounded synthesizer instrumental tune that
makes one ask, "Is this Van Halen or the
sounds of Missing Persons?" "1984" shows
Van Halen's progression with today's rapid
music pace.
The song is followed by the radio smash,
"Jump." Like "1984," this song is not what
? one would expect from Van Halen, but the
glDwing synthesizers that start the song are
followed by Alex VanHalen's drum roll and
David Lee Roth's singing. The song then
begins to take shape and sound like a Van
Halen tune.
Things really start cooking during the middle
of the sons, when FdHi/> Van Union r*;?_
forces the synthesizers once again, which

The third track on "1984," "Panama"
bursts on with heavy drum beats and the
guitar: This is Van Halen. The song is a hot
rocker and will keep fans wanting more from
the album.

from all the other heavy metal bands of the
past with hot, growling guitar licks and rapid
drum rolls in "Hot for the Teacher."
The song is fast and makes the listener feel
like he is sitting in the classroom with David
and the band, as David mumbles, "I wonder
what the teacher will look like this year." On
this track, Van Halen seems to be playing
around and just having fun on the song.
The heaviest tune on the album is "House
