About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Cyberpunk, Idol's attempt to restyle himself as a futuristic cyber-rocker, only works when he falls back on his effortlessly catchy guitar hooks and melodies of his past hits (the first single, "Shock to the System," for instance). Unfortunately, most of the album is padded with pretentious speeches, sampled dialog, and underdeveloped songs. Especially noteworthy is his techno-dance interpretation of the Velvet Underground's "Heroin" (featuring a repeated Patti Smith quote), which is one of the worst covers ever recorded. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

February 20, 2009: This album is a very interesting combination of like techno and rock. Some of the songs on this album you have to listen to at least 3 to 4 times before you actually "Get" what the song as a musical whole is about really, (outside of reading the song's lyrics on the album's book.) Over all, this CD is an interesting collaboration for Billy Idol with his bandmates. The BEST song on this album is about the 1992 race riots in Los Angeles.
