Van Halen appropriately titled this album released in 1984...1984. It captures what you think of sounds being like in 1984 quite perfectly at that. The album gets off to a strong start, but does fade a little about halfway through. It does provide you with many songs that will be stuck in your head for a while, and maybe even fun to jump to. In the days of when MTV played videos they also had a very popular video on the channel, "Hot For Teacher".
After getting past the introduction to the album, "1984", you get a great song that I really enjoyed beginning with. "Jump" isn't one of the more hard rock sounds on the album, and has more of a playful feel good vibe to it. It's one of the few on the album I would probably listen to again. The tune has been stuck in my head since hearing it. This song definitely deserved it's number one standing on the Billboard Charts.
