DavidD.Nov 2, 2007Best CD since his self titled CD some 20 plus years ago. Heavy Metal type theme but not to the point of Metal music without a doubt Idol is back whether the CD sells or not who cares thank God there is still Music like this being made.

KevinBFeb 8, 2007Just like you expect from Billy Idol & Steve Stevens it's unique from all their other albums, every song is catchy and great, My favorite track is summer running and I will never ever hesitate to buy any Billy Idol or Steve Stevens Album. I have all of their albums and every track is awesome, Never heard one that I skipped over or halfway through.

-
-
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
-
-
jrSep 17, 2005If you're a true Idol fan disregard the pompous, irrelevant opinons of the likes of Billboard and The Gaurdian and enjoy Billy's return to the rock scene.

-
-
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!!!
-
-
tanyalMay 25, 2005A great comeback!! A true punkrock tatent!

MichaelCMay 24, 2005This 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!
-
-

-
RoelofEvertsMay 24, 2005All the best of Idol came out!! And Steve too.
-
-
PhilSMay 24, 2005This is Refreshing , in a world were we are force fed poor music , once again Steve Stevens compliments the Idol sound, Born Again is the word. What a surprise the amazingly boring wimpish NME slates idol, run by and for moronic students, now i know why i aint bought a nme since the 80's, carry on mr Broad.
-
-
BurkeFMay 24, 2005This is the Best Idol album so far. This album represents all the variety that few artists can compete with - encompassing a variety of different influences while still retaining the punk puck edge that Idol is known for
-
-
StevenDMay 24, 2005Love this album!!!
-
-
IdolmarkMay 24, 2005This is a fantastic punkrock cd!!! Billy "The KIng" is back!
-
-
AmberJMay 24, 2005I really like this album, but I don't think it is in the same vain as his older stuff. I am glad he didn't try to remake Rebal Yell or I would not have bought this album.
-
-
MDMay 24, 2005the best CD that i have ever heard
-
-

-
JoellMay 20, 2005Billy is still Billy which is why he's AWESOME - he's never given-in to the current "trends" & his new album proves it! It's original & great & so is he!
-
-
DanielRMay 7, 2005Scream is a great rock song. Kind of sounds like alot of the punk pop rock bands now but is beefed up musically and has more attitude. A couple of songs on here that took away from the great ones but definitely a few really fun rock songs.
-
-
EveHApr 29, 2005Love Rat Race and Scream. Love Billy Idol.
-
-
StephenCApr 29, 2005Wow, oh my god and this guy used to be successful. How on earth, whilst making this record did he actually think he's made a good song. So so bad.
-
-
rexaApr 28, 2005any fan of generation X and early Idol recordings will groove on this new release, evil eye rocks! only pop lovers will dislike it. Yes he doesnt sing perfectly (still) but the drive and attitude are still there. Buy it dont download it!
-
-
JoshPApr 25, 2005Incredibly awesome album. A couple of questionable songs but over all very very nice. Incredibly awesome as well on his tour to support this album. If he comes to your town don' t miss the show. It is show of the year.
-
-
MishaKApr 16, 2005He should stick to the older stuff. Nothing new or exciting here.
-
-
AlyssaSApr 15, 2005Billy Idol Fuc*ing rules!
-
-
LilaMApr 15, 2005The CD is weak and Billy Idol lost it.
-
-
NormaFApr 14, 2005Billy Idol is washed up. He hasn't had a hit since the 1980's. This album is worse than Cyberpunk.
-
-
AlexandraKApr 14, 2005

-
KateMApr 14, 2005love it, Scream is great, but Rat Race is even better!
-
-

LisaGApr 14, 2005Someone needs to remind the old man that the 80's are over.
-
-
rottenskunk(notskunkboy)Apr 14, 2005Kicks ass. All other kids giving him bad reviews are stiff downright commies.
-
-
pimpinsamApr 14, 2005Dynamite disc with a perfect mix of hard rockers and ballads as only Billy n' Steve can deliver. Keeps getting better with every spin. Do yourself a favor, get your mitts on this badboy and keep it in heavy rotation.
-
-
CRApr 14, 2005Great new CD from Billy Idol! Everyone should check it out. A lot of the songs remind of Generation X with that fast punk beat.
-
-
ConnieSApr 14, 2005Pure Idol!! It's what we've all been missing for the past decade!

RosieLApr 14, 2005Are you kidding me? The songs are great! If you like real rock music, you will enjoy this album!
-
-
MiguelCApr 14, 2005An perfect album for a great rock'n roll star.It's an album that contains all styles from rock to punk to country to hard-rock to pop and the best in all songs Billy sounds great.
-
-
candiaApr 14, 2005Hot...something for everyone and then some! I'm thinking those other folks who gave it a zero didn't part with any pennies to buy this CD!
-
-
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.
-
-
NoreenOApr 14, 2005His best to date in my opinion. I love all of the songs on this CD and was certainly worth the wait. Idol on guys!
-
-
AnneApr 13, 2005A true, passionate, extremely talented rock-n-roll by Billy Idol, Steve Stevens and Co. Idol proves his status of a world rock superstar. Rock on, Billy!
-
-
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!!!
-
-
MattMMar 31, 2005Fantabulous!!! This is the Heidi Klum of music!
-
-
GabbyH.Mar 30, 2005Wow. Billy Idol still exists? WEIRD. Wait a minute. Billy Idol FANS still exist? WEIRD.
-
-
IzakLMar 30, 2005Most critics rating "Devil's Playground two stars don't like rock. It shines through. For me it's one of the best rock albums in the last ten years! Billy's voice has matured and sounds better than ever!
-
-
marksMar 29, 2005Billy is back!
-
-
CydGMar 29, 2005Nothing original here!
-
-
JosephTMar 28, 2005A strong effort but marred by a couple of unfortunate choices -- like the christmas tree song.
-
-
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.
-
-
RalphOMar 28, 2005Give the old man credit for a pretty solid comeback!

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.
