Upload description

In 141,000 Collections on Discogs, it features the MTV favorite "Hot for Teacher", known for its distinctive double-bass drum intro by Alex Van Halen and Eddie Van Halen's blazing guitar work. As music critic Michael Hann of The Quietus said, with this album, the band became "everything all at once – synthpop, hard rock, thundering metal, and art rock." #vanhalen #1984 #hotforteacher #discogs
