Whiplash Smile is the third studio album by English rock vocalist Billy Idol. It was released on 20 October 1986 by Chrysalis Records. After his successful album Rebel Yell (1983), Idol continued his collaboration with Keith Forsey and Steve Stevens while writing and producing songs for the album. Commercially, the album noted a success similar to his previous album
Whiplash Smile (LP, Album, EMW). Whiplash Smile (Cass, Album, Club). Whiplash Smile (LP, Album).
Like Billy Idol himself, who affected the punk archetype but cut it with a two-dimensional, cartoonish plasticity perfect for the decade, Whiplash Smile expands on the sound of the 1983 breakthrough Rebel Yell while cleverly leaving its key elements unchanged. Idol's inherent Jim Morrison-ness was fleshed out, and Steve Stevens' already atmospheric guitar work was blended even more seamlessly with a percolating pot of shifting styles, new wave dance beats, and synth-heavy production
His previous album, Rebel Yell, had pretty much taken punk rock to the mainstream, and Idol had made the most of the MTV era's cult of personality with his peroxide good looks and bad-boy-next-door persona. But what Idol had probably shown the greatest talent for over his many-year climb to stardom was a willingness (and no small ability) to adapt with changing musical times.
