"At the time, Eddie was in the process of building his own studio with Donn Landee, the band's longtime engineer (and later producer on 5150 and OU812). In Rolling Stone 's retrospective review of 1984 in its 100 Best Albums of the Eighties list, producer Ted Templeman said, "It's real obvious to me Eddie Van Halen discovered the synthesizer." The result was a compromise between the two creative factions in the band-a mixture of keyboard-heavy songs, and the intense rock for which the band had become known. At 5150, Eddie composed Van Halen's follow-up to Diver Down-without as much perceived "interference" from Roth or Templeman.
