jessewApr 6, 2005This album is /easy/ to under-rate-- don't make that mis-take!! Have a good time. LIsten to this CD a couple of times, enjoy it. Many different styles, all of them great-- wonderful guitar, great percussion... and Bill Idol. Writing off as an 80's throwback here is a dumb cop-out. Live a little-- no-- SCREAM! LIVE A LOT!!!

MichellePApr 14, 2005I Love this album and love this man's voice. The fact that has a great voice and uses it and is back is what will carry this album and the rest to come. IT sure beats the heck out of the non singers you have listed who rap there music or sound like everyone else, that is not music to me.

JustonSMay 25, 2005A perfect evolution of Rebel Yell, and Whiplash Smile. The best Billy Idol album yet, and "Scream" is the best song to come along in 10 years. The perfect band, the perfect album at the perfect time. "Devil's Playground" is the best album of the 21st century!!!

SteveTOct 13, 2005Bought this out of curiosity but if there is a better rock album yet this year I havent heard it. So what if he is from the 80s - tracks like Rat Race and Summer Running would stand out on any album

tomrMar 24, 2005Billy Idol is back! This album reminds us that he is not only a great rocker/songwriter, but he is also a great singer.

B.RuebushMar 28, 2005Love him or hate him, Idol is back. Devil's Playground is what the best of Billy has always been, fun. I hate critics that have to find some deeper meaning to an artists work. There is no deep meaning or pupose to this album, just good solid fun tunes from beginning to end. Steve Stevens sounds great. Billy still can't sing but he sounds great! Well worth the money.

The results are much better than his 1993 sci-fi shark jump, Cyberpunk, and so it automatically counts as the best thing he's done since "Cradle of Love."

Blender[An] entertaining album. [Apr 2005, p.119]

The bodybuilder's physique and sneering expression haven't given way to age; nor has his conviction that singing pedestrian clunk-rock is tantamount to signing on as Satan's orchestra leader.
