About this album

Van Halen II is a sharp, high-voltage follow-up that tightened the band’s formula without losing its swagger. Released in 1979, it builds on the debut’s mix of Eddie Van Halen’s fleet guitar work, Alex Van Halen’s punchy drumming, Michael Anthony’s propulsive bass and David Lee Roth’s showman charisma, while leaning further into melody and swagger. Dance the Night Away gave the group one of its biggest early hits, and the album’s hard rock attack helped confirm Van Halen as one of the most exciting American rock bands of the late 1970s. It remains a key statement of their early sound.
