    I 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.

    A 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!!!

    This album is pure Billy Idol. It is as good as, if not better than, anything else he has done.

    This album is a heck of a lot better than anything that anyone has come with in the last 10 years! Idol and Stevens prove that there is hope for rock and roll after all! This album serves as a blueprint as to how a rock record is made!

    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."

    [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.
