Could Van Halen have another album on the way next year?

That's what MelodicRock.com is reporting, citing a "good source" who says "that the band, when recording the A Different Kind of Truth album, in fact recorded enough material for a second release, and that could find its way into our hands in the first quarter of 2013 before the next leg of the band's tour commences."

Van Halen was set to tour Japan early next year, but postponed those plans after Eddie Van Halen had surgery for diverticulitis back in August.
