OK, let's not quibble.  Under no circumstances can this be called punk.  But I'm less interested in labels than in the quality of the music inside the package.  And boy did Billy Idol ever deliver on this one. (Although, to be fair, a lot of the credit has to go to guitarist and co-writer Steve Stevens.  His departure and the consequent lacklustre quality of Idol's future work serve to underscore the importance of Stevens' contribution).  This CD would be essential if only for "Rebel Yell" and "Eyes Without A Face", two of the darned catchiest songs ever put on record in the 80s.  But 20 years later even the filler (e.g. "Blue Highway", "Do Not Stand In the Shadows") holds up extremely well.  I can't think of any other album that's as successful at combining hard rock and catchy pop into an unrelentingly entertaining listen.  (I'd strongly recommend the original over the newer extended version.  The extra material will just diminish the impact of the original nine songs clocking in at 37 minutes total).
