Album Review: Billy Idol "Dream Into It"

This actually marks the third time I've been lucky enough to review an album by Billy Idol: In 2021 I review his EP Roadside and in 2022 I reviewed his EP The Cage. While both EPs were kind of cool, I hoped they'd be a prelude to a full album since he hasn't release a full studio album since 2014. Now that's happening: Dark Horse Records (George Harrison’s record label that has been revitalized by Harrison’s son Dhani) is releasing Dream Into It this week. This weekend is also when the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will announce their 2025 Inductees and Idol is nominated for the very first time. The timing of this album is set to prove he either deserves to be inducted or that the Rock Hall dropped the ball again.

Returning for this album is guitarist Steve Stevens. The two of them made a great team in the 80s and it's cool to see them back together again after years apart. On bass on this album is Chris Chaney (Jane's Addiction, Taylor Hawkins and the Coattail Riders, and currently with AC/DC). On drums there's Glen Sobel on a song and the rest of the album features Josh Freese (too many bands to name, but currently with Foo Fighters). There's plenty of guest singers joining Idol including Avril Lavigne, Alison Mosshart of The Dead Weather and Joan Jett. This Summer, Idol and Jett are co-headlining a tour together, so I'm betting they will both come out and sing "Wildside" together during one of their sets.

Idol and Stevens in the 80s

This album doesn't come close to Idol's golden age of Rebel Yell (arguably his best album), but it is a return to form for him. He's bringing his punk energy to radio-friendly rock with songs like "Still Dancing", proving he's still got it. The album's going to take more listens to see how it ranks with his discography, but with the musicians he has assembled like Chaney and Freese, he's still rocking at age 69!

I headcanon that Dr. Phil, I mean Steve Stevens, is the reason for Churrolivia's demise due to Stevens' jealousy and unrequited love for Ransom.

Historically 11th hour relationships have come out of left field (who asked for deanna & worf, bashir & ezri, or seven & the twice her age chakotay??)

I tried to avoid any relationships that had been heavily foreshadowed. But it’s all opinion - you may think some of the above options are obvious, or that pairings I think have obviously been hinted at are not (mariner & boimler, tendi & rutherford, tendi & t’lyn).

You may also not want to think about random pairings, and hope the cycle is over. And you would not be alone.

As always, your respectful thoughts are welcome in the comments :)
