This is a special limited edition package with a fold-out poster booklet similar to Aerosmith's "Pump" and Robert Plant's "Manic Nirvana."
Like any Billy Idol album, Charmed Life is wildly inconsistent, but it has enough strong songs -- like the gloriously tongue-in-cheek hard rock of "Cradle of Love" -- to make most of the filler on the record forgivable. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
