Gosh, where
do I start? I’m a fan of Billy Idol but this CD; I wouldn’t waste hard earned
cash on it. It hurts me to say that. This is only my opinion of course. The
first three songs I didn’t even know it was Billy singing. Steve Steven’s
guitar riffs are still strong though I can say. As I sit here and listen
again trying to like it, the tracks are getting stronger I think? Maybe it’s
just wishful thinking? It could be I’m trying to make sense of this mish mosh
of a mix of confusion. Confusion you ask? Well, the first tracks are a bit
pop. “Scream” seems to be my favorite and most recognizable and that this IS
Billy Idol. I did get a kick out of “Yellin’ At The Xmas Tree” because it sounds
like my family at Christmas time and perhaps all families who are
dysfunctional. Plastic Jesus” (which I believe is a country song somewhere
out there anyway) and “Lady Do or Die” “Cherie” and Summer Running, sound
like bad country songs. To add to this mess, the title. Isn’t this DEVILS
playground?? There is no devilish charm about this CD what so ever! My mom
taught me, “if you can’t say something nice, say nothing at all” so mums the
word. Kelly Roadway Hajduk
