I'm honestly getting used to the idea that the new Van Halen record A Different Kind Of Truth may be made up of re-recordings of old songs that never made the cut but I'm not completely sold on it. Yes, I'm stoked to hear some tunes I've never heard before but can it truly be called a new album? Which actually makes you think the album title itself is a reference to that very fact.

New Van Halen Album Now Rumored for Early 2012

Jeff Giles — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 14:17:48 +0000

For fans of Van Halen‘s original lineup, the band’s last three decades or so have been punctuated with more than a few frustrations and disappointments, including their brief reunion with David Lee Roth in 1996, bassist Michael Anthony’s rudely handled dismissal, and an overall lack of new music since a pair of new tracks were appended to the double-disc ‘Best of Both Worlds’ compilation way back in 2004.

Roth has been back in the band since 2006, with rumors of a new album persistently surfacing over the last five years. The buzz has grown louder than ever this year, and for awhile, it looked like this might finally be the year Van Halen came back — but it looks like we’ll have to keep on waiting.

The new collection, which will be Van Halen’s first full-length album since 1998′s ‘III’ and first with Roth since way back in ’1984,’ has reportedly been finished with an assortment of producers led by John Shanks. Now, rumors are pointing to a fall release.
