VAN HALEN
The fifth full-length studio album by legendary American Hard Rock band.
Released per the label's request that the band record an album to keep them in the public eye, "Diver Down" was recorded with producer Ted Templeman over the course of twelve days. As a result of its quick production, the album is heavy on cover versions as well as genre experiments and guitar interludes. Alongside full-length original songs, the material includes excursions into Jazz, Country Blues, Doo-wop, a Cappella and Neoclassical music, in addition to covers of mid-1960s songs – the biggest of these, reworkings of Roy Orbison's "(Oh) Pretty Woman" and Martha & The Vandellas' "Dancing in the Street", were Hit Singles.
"Diver Down" spent 65 weeks on the album chart in the United States and sold four million copies in the United States by 1998. Despite the album got commercial success, selling faster than its predecessor "Fair Warning" (1981), it was less lukewarmly received by music critics. In 2022, "Diver Down" was ranked at number three in Guitar World's list of "The 25 Greatest Rock Guitar Albums of 1982".
Warner Music Australia, A Warner Music Group Company, 1982/1983/2015 (8122795499). Made in Australia.
