The album cover is simple and to the point. It consists of Van Halen’s signature logo; the VH connected to the circular swooping lines, in the middle.

For example, think of it like a secret dictatorship, and we breathe as a fascist society, which puts fun and feelings above the Lord, above all. Many of the musicians consist of non-religious people who live only for fun and only for themselves. Why then would we, especially as Christians, put our total devotion in them? It exists like wanting to ride with a blind driver rather than one with perfect vision.

1643 Words - 6 Pages.... in my veins. But, why?
That sounds like a dumb question...but is it? Is the music itself really arousing such strong feelings in me, or is it merely the means to bring those emotions out of me? The beats don't have any sentience. It's driving, it's hard, and it sure as hell makes me want to get up and dance, but does house music have anything more than electronic beats at it's core?
