Fair Warning

Seeing is WACF is by far the worst Van Halen album (inconsistency will do that to you), Fair Warning by a mile.

Only bad thing about Fair Warning is the last two tracks don't do that much for me. They're not bad, I'd just rather have a "real song" fill up the record space those two took.

There is no way I could pick between these two.

**Dan Halen** · 05.24.02, 02:42 PM

Fair Warning for sure.

**Mario VH** · 05.24.02, 02:45 PM

FW

WACF is the worst Van Halen album?!? I dunno man. VHIII and OU812 ain't exactly masterpieces.

WACF is a great record. I especially like the acoustic open to "Take Your Whiskey Home". It is hard blues! Some rockers on there: "And The Cradle Will Rock", and some great songwriter stuff such as "In A Simple Rhyme", but

Fair Warning is rock album perfection!!

I like FW better.

I've got the Mean Street riff stuck in my head

I really enjoy the first 4 songs on WACF. (When I lack energy in me)

Eddie's sound in FW is better

Don't think I can agree here. Fair Warning is the better album in my opinion, but Women And Children First is a long way from there worst effort...

O.K. I know it's all a matter of opinion, but that is definitely one of the funniest statements I've ever read in these forums. As far as the topic though, I'd have to pick FW. WACF is a great album, but it's kind of like going up against Wayne Gretsky or Michael Jordon. It's just not fair, ya' know?

I like WACF alot more than i used to. Someting about the rawness to it that makes it so cool. Romeo's Delight, In a simple rhyme, take your Whiskey home, And the Cradle will rock, Fools, everybody wants some, and Could this be magic are all awsome songs. But I still like Fair Warning better. WACF is loaded with good songs, but FW is full of GREAT songs, and that is the difference.
