A Different Kind of Truth is the twelfth studio album by American hard rock band Van Halen, released on February 7, 2012 on Interscope Records. Produced by both the band and John Shanks, it is Van Halen's first studio album with lead vocalist David Lee Roth in 28 years (Roth departed Van Halen in 1985 but rejoined in 2007), and the first to feature bassist Wolfgang Van Halen (the son of guitarist Eddie Van Halen and nephew of drummer Alex Van Halen) since he replaced Michael Anthony in 2006. This is also the band's first album in fourteen years, as well as their first not released on their former label, Warner Bros. Records. It is the band's longest album with Roth to date, clocking in at just shy of 50 minutes. A deluxe version of the album was released, containing a bonus Acoustic DVD called The Downtown Sessions, which contains acoustic versions of "Panama", "You and Your Blues (Intro)", "You and Your Blues" and "Beautiful Girls". A special version was released with a T-shirt along with the CD. A Collector's Edition vinyl album was also released. This double gatefold LP vinyl includes all 13 songs on two LPs plus custom LP artwork.
