A Different Kind of Truth is the 12th studio album by American hard rock band Van Halen. Released on February 7, 2012, by Interscope Records, the record is Van Halen's first full-length album of studio material with former lead singer David Lee Roth since 1984. Likewise, it is Van Halen's first studio album since 1998's Van Halen III. It is the first to feature Eddie Van Halen's son Wolfgang on bass guitar, replacing Michael Anthony, who had played bass on all of Van Halen's previous albums.

A Different Kind of Truth is an incredible album by any measure. And whether it’s true or not, ADKOT seems like the ultimate thank you to the world’s most dedicated Van Halen fans. Eddie Van Halen was a riff-making machine during the late 1970’s, single handedly changing the way subsequent generations would approach the instrument. And while plenty of that music ended up on the first six albums, the band’s release schedule couldn’t keep pace with EVH’s creative output.

Van Halen - A Different Kind Of Truth (2012).

A Different Kind of Truth is the first Van Halen album since the Nineties dregs of Balance and Van Halen III, which were just humiliating Styx rips. But Eddie has rediscovered his guitar and unplugged the synths, as if Roth’s presence reminded Eddie who his band is named after. Since there’s never been a single Van Halen fan in history who secretly wished Eddie would put down the guitar and play more keyboards, this is a coup. Especially because Eddie’s solos have the fluency of his early Eighties playing – just listen to him stretch out on Big River and Blood and Fire

After more than two decades apart, the Van Halen brothers and original lead singer David Lee Roth have turned in a thrilling and terrific new album, 'A Different Kind of Truth,' which proves that their chemistry together remains a special and magical thing. The six classic late '70s and early '80s records from the first Roth-fronted lineup of the group set an imposing bar for any Van Halen reunion album.

Eddie Van Halen, the band's secret frontman, is way too pivotal to have gone AWOL for so long. Both Eddies are in attendance here: the effortless trick pony (the solo in "Big River" is his most unhinged since MJ's "Beat It") and the dreamer who tapped out that delicate, chiming bridge to 1979's "Dance the Night Away" ("Blood and Fire," "You and Your Blues"). If you were worried about too much keyboard, know that A Different Kind of Truth probably pounds harder than 1984-a shocking turn of events. Follow Joshua Rothkopf on Twitter: rothkopf.

That's a long time, but the roots of A Different Kind of Truth stretch back even further, with several songs originating from demo tapes Van Halen made before their debut, and the rest consciously written in that style. No synths are to be found anywhere on the record, they've been swept aside along with Michael Anthony's bedrock eighth-note thump and Sammy Hagar's radio-ready pop polish, stripping Van Halen down to their core: a duel for attention between David Lee Roth and Eddie Van Halen.
