Query: Good if compared w/ other Van Hagar albums

I can't believe how many people are giving this album rave reviews! Although Hagar's lyrics are more mature than Roth's, they are also much more bland. Eddie seems to have turned in to more of a rythm guitarist here as his crazy guitar solos and tapping segments are absent here. I can't even understand what Hagar is saying in Poundcake. Maybee this is a good album next to other Van Hagar music, but compared to the origonal Van Halen, and other relatively good rock and roll groups of the time, this album seems very plain. On the other hand, if you like Van Hagar, go for it. It's one of their better albums.
