BILLY IDOL Vinyl & CDs

Review: Billy Idol, one of the most iconic figures in British rock history, has returned with his first full-length album in over a decade. Known for his punk roots as a member of Generation X and subsequent MTV-era persona, Idol has constantly evolved, blending his early rebellious spirit with a more reflective, mature approach to life and music. This latest release captures that transformation, offering a blend of punk rock energy and introspective storytelling. Idol's partnership with longtime guitarist Steve Stevens continues to define his sound, while collaborations with rock legends Joan Jett, Avril Lavigne and Alison Mosshart further solidify his place at the forefront of rock's new generation. Having emerged from the early days of British punk, Idol's legacy spans decades, and this new record marks both a personal reflection and a return to form.

Review: How long has Billy Idol been doing it for? Who can even count any more, but here he is bursting back onto the airwaves with his canny blend of hard rock and anthemic pop hooks, sounding like the maximalist 80s juggernaut he's always been. 'The Cage' is a chugging, sing-a-long monster with enough rousing self-help energy to border on sports rock. If you've loved Idol and the musical world he exists in all these years, you'll be very happy to hear every inch of this mighty four-track single. Epic rock without parallel.
