Balance

Description

EDITORIAL REVIEWS Entering the charts at #1 and quickly selling two million copies, this 1995 LP overcame the infamous tensions between Eddie VH and Sammy Hagar and gave the boys another smash. Party anthems are balanced out by some surprisingly sweet ballads: Amsterdam; Strung Out; Not Enough; Can't Stop Lovin' You; Don't Tell Me (What Love Can Do); Feelin', and more! AMAZON.COM No numeric or anagrammatic puns in the title of album #11, a sure sign that a new chapter is opening for these monsters of '80s rock. The band's formula has been polished to a blinding gleam here by producer Bruce Fairbairn, and there's a formidable mix of radio cuts (the first single "Don't Tell Me," "Can't Stop Lovin' You"), boneheaded rawk numbers ("Amsterdam," "Big Fat Money") and towering, cinematic epics ("The Seventh Seal," "Feelin'"). --Jeff Bateman
