Best Billy Idol Album Ever!.......2007-04-26

He took a much edgy, more hard rock path with this album. It's more along the lines of "Blue Highway," than any other songs before it. Less punk and more hard rock. His cover of "L.A. Woman" is worth buying this cd for.This is hands down my favorite Billy Idol record. Every song is memorable with great melodies and excellent lyrics. This was a perfect match between music and lyrics. More originality, more raw, and less pop and overproduced. It's great to hear this album because none of the songs are overplayed like "Mony Mony" and "Rebel Yell" on the other albums. Songs are alot deeper and unexplored such as "The Loveless," "Sweet Stuff," "Prodigal Blues," and "Cradle of Love." Definitely his most underappreciated and overlooked albums. Probably because it was ahead of it's time.

Set the Cruise Control to Idol.......2007-01-12

First, let me say I love BI and his band with Steve Stevens, what a great combo and music they could create, studio or live. The album is keeping in form with earlier releases, basically where you have 3-5 tracks on the whole affair worth listening to. But, REALLY worth listening to. The only hit was Rock The Cradle, but hits aren't always it.... I put my chips on Prodigal Blues! Anyway, with RTC amongst the tracks, this was supposedly a comeback album for Billy Idol, and it sold well, unlike the preceding disc from 4 years prior (1986), Whiplash Smile, which was wrongly considered a disappointment, when in fact, IMHO, it is his best work ever!!! Buy it, but buy this disc as well for the few tunes really worth listening to, since, after all, it's available for one cent used.

It's Christmas time........2006-11-22

This album by Billy Idol was released in 1990. The great "Cradle of Love" was one of his biggest hits, peaking at #2 on the Hot 100. A pretty good cover version of the Doors "L.A. Woman" was also released as a single, peaking at #52. Other than those two songs, the album is pretty forgettable. Not bad, just not especially memorable.

Billy Idol Forever!!.......2005-08-24

I've owned this CD for years - and I never get sick and tired of it.

On the contrare. During home parties, my friends ask me - who's that on the stereo? I say, Billy Idol, man. You like it?

And they always say - That rocks!

Nuff said.

BILLY'S BEST.......2005-05-03

"Charmed Life" was recorded during a bad motorcycle accident that Billy had, hence as I recall, the title.

By 1990, Billy Idol had matured into a rock artist and this album is miles away from the youth appeal of "Rebel Yell." It shows the former Gen-X punk wanting to grow his music and it works.

From a kickass version of "The Right Way" and "Prodigal Blues" (the originals) to "LA Woman" to "Endless Sleep" (the covers) - this album is well produced, well-written and will grow on you. There really isn't a bad track on this.

Steve Stevens had left the fold to pursue a solo career at this stage and Mark Younger Smith shows his guitar chops. The change of style is refreshing.

As a songwriter, Billy peaked with this one. I didn't much get into "Heroin" - his next album. This and "Rebel Yell" remain indispensable parts of Billy's collection so get it if you can.

This album rocks me the "Right Way"........2005-04-19

Other than "Cradle Of Love", this album doesn't seem to get much mention from anyone, but I love it. In fact, front to back it's my favorite of his. "Loveless" and "Pumping On Steel" are both good rockers, and I really like "Trouble With The Sweet Stuff". He does a good job on The Doors cover too. "Prodigal Blues" and "Endless Sleep" are nice mellow touches also. It's a great mix of the older and newer Billy Idol. And best of all, this is DIRT CHEAP!

Billy!.......2005-03-20

I've always felt that Billy Idol was short-changed by record companies, people, civilization, and the record industry (but not necessarily in that order).

I admit to a certain softness: one of my first CDs was Billy's last major label effort, and I was struck by the sheer digital mastery of Cyberpunk.

I never understood the reaction to Cyberpunk. I adored Cyberpunk, and I always wondered why it struck such a negative chord with the critics.

Given such a predilection, I guess it comes as no secret that I love Charmed Life. Idol is clearly opting for a return to his roots. It's not Mother Dawn but, by gosh, it's Billy Idol.

Is it the digital world's Idol?

No.

Does it rock like Billy Idol?

Hot twosome.......2004-01-27

Third Eye Blind came out with the song "Semi-Charmed Life" and it hit the charts like a freight train. Overplayed on the radio, loved by everyone, and this single was produced. It's a great album single with just 2 songs, but you get their hit "Semi-Charmed Life" which is a clean radio edit, sounds great. And the 2nd track entitled "Tattoo of the Sun" which was unavailable on album. It's a good song that displays the band's creativity of using effects with the rock that they're known for. The orange cd cover is unique and it's a good album to own when you're looking for that great hit song Semi-Charmed Life.

Wedding.......1999-10-08

Wonderful. A little bit of everything. I call them a melodically smooth band with a ocassional slam polka thrown in. These guys played for my wedding in 1994, what an honor.

EXCELLENT!!!.......1998-12-31

Little Jack Melody is a group that everyone should own. They are far beyond their time with music quality and style. If you like all kinds of music/ instruments this is your group. I recommend you get it today!!!

Unbelievably exciting and vein popping music.......1998-11-04

These guys are without peer in the music world (in my opinion.) Little Jack Melody's writing is top notch, kind of a mix between raucous show tunes and sophisticated pop, the tunes run the gamut of jazz, klezmer, tango, bossa, variety show and every other musical genre you can think of. The band, which I found out are all current or former music students, is outstanding able to interpret Melody's music with swift precision. Get this album!

Klezmer? Swing? Whatever it is it's excellent!.......1998-10-15

What a great band. I first saw Little Jack Melody and His Young Turks at Seattle's Bumbershoot festival four years ago. They're totally awesome and their latest album is a mix of fun songs that will have you hopping such as "My Charmed Life" and more melancholy numbers such as "Close but no Cigar".

you can't go wrong with a tuba.......1998-07-11

don't wear your smoking jacket to a ska show and have it ripped by a fratboy trying to start up a moshpit, save it for a little jack melody show. ljm and his young turks are a neocabaret acoustical quintet from denton texas. oom-pah with the band and postmodern lyrics.

No B Side.......2005-03-02

I bought this thinking it had "Tatoo of the Sun" on it as the B side. Apparently not! If you are after the B side make sure you get one that says "Tatoo of the Sun" too!

?.......2001-07-13

I would love to have this cd, i raccomand you people to download Tatoo of the sun, that's what i did and it's like the best song, i cant believe they put it out of the complete cd........ I mean it can't be better!

Stephan, Arion, Kevin, and Brad possess major talent!.......1999-07-21

These 4 boys have put together the best album ever! With 3 hit songs (Semi-Charmed Life, How's it Gonna Be?, and Jumper) their album rocks this world. Also includes "Losing a Whole Year", Graduate", "God of Wine." Looks for singles in stores, but buying the entire album is the way to go. Tattoo of the Sun isn't on this cd, but it can be found on the Semi-Charmed Life single. Brad Hargreaves, Stephan Jenkins, Kevin Cadogan, and Arion Salazar are incredibly talented men!

This Song is absolutely incredible!!!!.......1999-05-31

Third Eye Blind is the best, I have never seen a group with this kind of talent. I hope that you can be able to make another good song, Wish you luck!! Charlie from Oakville, Toronto
