I bought this CD for the song super overdrive. I was pleasantly surprised however how diverse Billy's songs are on this CD. Devil's Playground is not a CD where one song sounds like the rest. Each song has its own feel/sound. That was a nice surprise. I always loved Billy's voice. These songs show a nice range of his abilities. Devil's Playground is a diamond amongst a sea of crud that is out there these days.

I have loved Billy Idol since I was a kid in the 80's and was so glad to see some new material- although I had no idea he even came out with this until a few months ago. I was a little taken aback at first listen because the hard-rock sound and tempo is not the Billy I am used to- but it really grew on me after listening to it a couple times. I especially love that he has a couple of country-inspired "rocka-billy" tracks such as Lady Do or Die and Summer Running. I would say that the best song on the CD is probably Rat Race. Body Snatcher and Scream are also awesome! As usual, Billy delivers. I wish it had been promoted more when it was first released. I love it! Buy this one!
I'm a Billy Idol fan, and it was really good to hear some fresh, new music of his. It was hard rock but didn't lack melodies or any of his original charm. I also liked the last couple of tracks, which had some interesting acoustic/country influences- it showed his versatility as an artist. I decided to buy it b/c the CD itself got mixed reviews, but being a Billy Idol fan, I wanted to give it a try and knew that I could get it cheaper off of Ebay than in the store.
Not Billys Best but not all bad for an Idol!
