Dream Into It, Billy Idol's ninth studio album and first long-playing record in over a decade, tells a rich and deeply personal story of Billy's journey from young punk rock dreamer to his return as a leather-gloved MTV icon; then on to all his high-profile hits, highs, lows, overdoses and accidents; culminating in a devastatingly honest assessment of the price of fame and the wisdom that comes from pulling yourself together and taking care of family. And although Dream Into It tells a story, it's also an all-round satisfying old-school/new-school punk/pop odyssey from track to track in the way that only Billy Idol and his long-time guitarist/collaborator Steve Stevens, with the able assistance of producer Tommy English and features with rock experts Joan Jett and Alison Mosshart, can create.
