Van Halen hit a home run with their third lineup featuring Gary Cherone as vocalist. The musical direction is eccentric, lively and thought provoking. Lead single Without You was a #1 hit for six weeks and the parent album, Van Halen 3, debuted in fourth place on the charts and went gold in 1998. The songs are amazing and Gary was an astonishingly genius choice as the band's singer. 5/5 stars, and easily at that.
