Drill a little further down into Van Halen's music, and pop hooks take a backseat to metallic overdrive. With Eddie Van Halen's axe set to maximum howl, “Atomic Punk” is one of their rowdiest rockers, and the busy, funky “Outta Love Again” is just as street tough. On “The Seventh Seal,” from the Sammy Hagar years, the band incorporate alt-metal crunch into their attack without missing a beat.
