Negative Positive
Title: A Few Diamonds In The Rough
Review: Billy Idol's DEVIL'S PLAYGROUND features three of the best songs he's ever recorded--"Scream," "Body Snatcher," and "Summer Running." The first two are thrilling rockers; the last is an eloquent, disarming ballad with a bomb thrown in. All three sound like natural 21st-century extensions of Idol's distinctive and spectacular "80s sound." Too much of the rest of DEVIL'S PLAYGROUND sounds like Green Day, and that was as surprising as it was disappointing for this fan of Idol, guitarist Steve Stevens, and drummer Brian Tichy.
