Back in the mists of time when the punk sounds of Generation X had run there course, Billy’s career was at a crossroads until a very fortuitous meeting with guitar whizz Steve Stevens. Whereas the album after this was pure gold, this album is when the seeds of the classic Idol pop rock sound were made. They hit gold instantly with the singles, White Wedding and Dancing With Myself, and they are without doubt the best tracks on the album. Although there are some unusual moments, especially the very Adam Ant sounding, Love Calling, and going back to his roots with inspiration from Siousie and The Banshees with Hole In The Wall, the album is still an enjoyable romp though early eighties pop.
8/10 from The Grooveman.
