Experience the unmistakable power of one of the greatest hard rock bands of all time with Van Halen – A Different Kind Of Truth. Originally released in 2012, this explosive studio album marked the long-awaited return of vocalist David Lee Roth, appearing on a Van Halen studio album for the first time since 1984. Alongside legendary guitarist Eddie Van Halen, drummer Alex Van Halen and bassist Wolfgang Van Halen, Roth delivers a powerful collection of songs packed with spectacular guitar work, infectious riffs and the unmistakable Van Halen sound.

A Different Kind Of Truth features thirteen energetic hard rock tracks that reconnect the band with the raw excitement of its early years. Several songs were developed from previously unreleased demos and musical ideas dating back to the late 1970s and early 1980s. The single “Tattoo” immediately showcases the band's talent for memorable rock anthems, while “She's The Woman”, “China Town” and “Bullethead” deliver fast-paced guitar work and pure rock 'n' roll energy. Other highlights include “Blood And Fire”, “Stay Frosty”, “Outta Space” and the powerful closing track “Beats Workin'”.

This 2LP reissue presents the complete album on two heavyweight vinyl records in a beautiful gatefold sleeve.
