Album Notes & Community Reviews

On his immensely successful sophomore album, Billy Idol perfectly synthesizes muscular hard rock riffage with sleek, heavily synthesized new wave production. Propelled by Steve Stevens' incendiary guitar work, 'Rebel Yell' delivers highly energetic, deeply nocturnal pop-rock anthems dripping with urban leather, romantic lust, and undeniable rhythmic swagger.
