EXTD=2004 Warner Bros. Records, Inc.Originally Released July 20, 2004AMG EXPERT REVIEW: It's no secret that there's a deep animosity between VanHalen -- particularly their leader, guitarist Edward (formerly Eddie) VanHalen -- and their former frontman, Da
EXTD=vid Lee Roth. His 1985 departure wasacrimonious, and while his solo career paled in comparison to Van Halen'scontinued success with Sammy Hagar as their frontman, the group never escaped the shadow of Diamond Dave. No matter how many number one album
EXTD=s andsingles they racked up, no matter how many shows they sold out, fans and critics alike preferred their gonzo days with Roth, and kept hounding the band for a reunion. Edward held his ground for years, but once the band stumbled with 1995's Balan
EXTD=ce, he reconsidered, courting Dave for an ill-fatedminireunion for the 1996 hits compilation The Best of Van Halen, Vol. 1 -- a move that resulted not just in two enjoyable albeit underwhelming newsongs, but also the alienation of Sammy, who left the

EXTD=ne disccouldn't possibly have fit the hits from both the Dave and Sam eras, but Best of Both Worlds turns out to be another botched collection, and one ofthe reasons it doesn't work as well as it should is that animosity towardDavid Lee Roth.Since th
EXTD=e band's sound and popularity were built on therecords they made with Roth, there was no way for Van Halen to ignore hiscontribution, but they do their damnedest to diminish it here. There areno pictures of Diamond Dave to be found in the artwork (un
