About this album

Women And Children First is a ferocious early statement from Van Halen, sharpening the hard-rock formula that made the band one of the era’s most exciting live and studio acts. Issued in 1980, it leans on Eddie Van Halen’s inventive guitar work, Michael Anthony’s muscular bass lines and the split-screen charisma of David Lee Roth, with the band self-producing a raw, focused set. Songs such as And the Cradle Will Rock... and Everybody Wants Some!! helped cement the group’s reputation for riff-driven hooks, precision and cheeky swagger. The album became an important touchstone for mainstream hard rock and heavy metal in the early 1980s.
