Devil Without A Cause

I'm A Cowboy Baby 1001 Albums Generator 214 (1/27/2025) Devil Without A Cause is an album with a really sinister aura, since you spend the entire time wondering what the hell a 12 minute song called Black Chick, White Guy could consist of. And you have to listen to Kid Rock for an hour before you find out. Also, Uncle Kracker was in Kid Rock's backing band?? Are you joking? 1.5/5, for Bawitdaba and Cowboy, rounded down to a 1. Favs: Bawitdaba cowboy I Am The Bullgod Least Fav: Welcome 2 The Party

Fun turns of phrase and intense pulses of energy.

Not bad

To say a lot of this sounds like a bunch of poor attempts at sounding like White Zombie or Rage Against the Machine is an insult to those two bands. It combines the worst aspects of gangster rap, county and western, and rock and somehow makes it even worse. Just scrapes a 2 out of 5

I cried while listening to this. Such an emotional response was not triggered by it being really moving and beautiful, which is usually what makes me cry to music, but rather because it was just so fucking awful. That's a first for me actually, I've never cried from music being so bad, but this album brought it out in me. If you think that there is absolutely anything worthy of praise in this, don't ever speak to me or anyone I love. This is truly one of the most disgusting and grotesque musical experiences a human being can have, I never want to hear this or any kid rock album ever again.

How should this album be fairly evaluated? The problem with some nu metal was never really the music, but rather the attitude that accompanied it, namely the transfer of the victim narrative typical of rap to a group of people who were not marginalized at all. Even if it only falls under nu metal in the broadest sense, “Devil Without a Cause” is a good example of this: not a bad production, but so heavily conceived by white trash for white trash that a clear-thinking person simply cannot identify with it. Added to this is the fact that everything Kid Rock has done has aged extremely badly against the backdrop of political developments over the last 25 years. All of this is a shame, because the people involved certainly did not lack musical talent. But I simply want nothing to do with this extreme combination of chauvinism and hostility toward education.

This album is like a a pile of neglected compost where rap-rock cliches and oversaturated production go to rot into eternity. He goes for volume over substance, masquerading nonsensical tantrums as some teenage vision of what rebellion is. It's as if a 12 year old kid was given an hour and 11 min to convince the world that he is fact, a man, who should be taken seriously. This is an album that had to convince itself that the main character is dangerous while sounding desperately insecure. This is not street-outlaw music (as it claims more than once), it’s store brand rage for people who think yelling is their entire personality

What a crook of shit 1/5

I'm not listening to this racist.

uninteresting

I wish I could give it 0 stars, terrible.

It's unbelievably annoying how good Bawitdaba is. The rest of this is extremely annoying and long. Like... just so bad.

Morally bankrupt

Well as a positive this is not as bad as I thought it would be and the first track is actually a banger but the rest is just not interesting at all or bad.

I would have given it 1.5 because I have to admit the first track was a little catchy but the rest is godawful and Kid Rock is a trash human being so I'm rounding down.

Didn't like this at all when it was released, it was cheap and blatant, and don't feel any inclination to repeat.

I'll begrudgingly say "Bawitdaba" still has a catchy hook, but that's it. THAT'S IT! Much like Kanye, if I knew his politics in later life, I would have avoided this like a plague, because it's a plague... Its childish music for any of the stunted man-child out there who never grew up once they turned 14 and like to talk about all the bitches they fuck but never do, because thats the only brag they can think of. 1999 has a lot to answer for.

Fuck you Kid Rock.

Kid rock is like the guy in his late teens/early twenties who hangs out pre-teens/high schoolers - when you're younger he seems like the coolest guy ever, but then when you're in your late teens/early twenties you realize that he's a fucking weirdo and always has been Now, stepping aside on my feelings on kid rock as a person and providing my comments on devil without a cause: it fucking sucks. There are no redeemable qualities to it. In regards to the lyrics, I had to look up to see how old kid rock was when this album released - based on the gross out disgusting "heh women are objects" elements of many lyrics throughout, I would've guessed that he was no older than 13 when this album released, but to my shock he was actually twice that age. The backing music itself sounds like a parody of 70s and 80s traditional country, which I myself questioned how/why kid rock would even consider himself country. Pair that with the worst, most overly produced guitar/drums and you have the shit sandwich that is this album. The only way I could see anyone enjoying this album is if they go into it acting as if it is a parody of country/rap/rock tropes from the past 30+ years, however even then you have to deal with putting this crime against music into your head and I wouldn't wish that against your worst enemy I listened to this album all the way through to you wouldn't have to. If you're still reading at this point, take heed to this warning: don't listen, give it a 1, and spend the hour plus you would've listening to this album to do something productive with your life, like going on a walk or volunteering at your local food bank

Well, I understand (I think I understand!) all this hatred. I listened to this album trying to keep an open mind, but unlike many other albums on this list, this time I focused on the lyrics, trying to pay more attention to them, influenced by many opinions I read. The truth is that, in the end, my opinion is: - I think it's much ado about nothing; - the guy is (was) an idiot trying to act tough; - this never had any impact here or in my life and experience in the 90s (I'm talking from Portugal), we were all very interested in listening to other things; - the lyrics, at least many of them, are ridiculous; - once again, everything about this album and this artist is much ado about nothing; - this is definitely not an album you have to listen to before you die! You can die in peace if you've never heard it, you haven't missed anything; That said, I give it a 2 because it didn't make me feel anything, but I don't give it less because I think I've had much worse here, OK? And that's it ;-)

i mean, this fucking guy

Bit of a dafty.

It's Kid Rock

Вау. Лучшая песня - Bawitdaba.

Garbage person, garbage album

Lots of cheesy fucking music (Welcome 2 the party - I mean cmoonnnnn) 1/5 - only redeeming quality is bawitdaba

Not my jam, but it did create an entire genre of music so there must be something here. "I'm outta sight like the planet Mars" - inaccurate

No thank you. Not for me

It physically pained me to listen to Kid Rock. When I got to the last song I was happy for it to be over- HOWEVER, I was absolutely GAGGED to learn it was 12 minutes!! Torture!!

Just a nah for me

Guys I couldn’t do it he’s a #trumper

Not into this music so much.

This guy bragged about being a pedophile. I have no interest in hearing his music. "Young ladies, young ladies, I like 'em underage see, Some say that's statutory (But I say it's mandatory)" - Kid Rock, "Cool, Daddy Cool" *0* - fuck off

I mean this is certainly not a great record. First three songs, same vocal/rapping pacing line, but first is nu- metal vibe, second is country vibe and third is funk vibe. I mean it’s just fun and catchy and not to be taking seriously. But then it’s a lot of eye rolling with all the oh a fuck so many bitches, so unoriginal.

I know Bawitdaba and Cowboy from movies but this album is not something I can listen to

Fuck off yank scum, all of you.

i thought it would be some dumb fun but god it got annoying

Oof. This was hard to get through. It has aged very poorly. The word that kept coming to mind throughout the album was "juvenile." The rapping is actually really not very sophisticated. Sounds like a high school gym teacher. And also gave me a foreboding sense of dread as to the what was soon to descent upon the American psyche once the right fascist appeared on the scene. Even though there are way worse albums on the list, this was my most distasteful day so far.

One highlight, it brought back some great memories of my high school friend Shannon. This was her favorite CD

I lived through this I don’t need to listen ever again. 0/5

Surprisingly not as skin crawling as I was expecting. It's still ass though. 1 Star.

I'm not much of a Kid Rock fan, admittedly. His music is about what you expect it to be: sex, drugs, alcohol, and a nice big dose of misogyny. That being said, I'm not going to let that affect how I rate this album from anything over than a lyrical standpoint. The vocals really aren't bad at all, and some of the songs are admittedly kind of catchy. At minimum, a majority have great beats. Bawitdaba in particular lives in my head rent free most days. I still would not describe the majority of the album as super remarkable. It's a bit too long for me, and I did feel that there was a lot of the same vibes from track to track. I think this is somewhere dead in the middle between a 2 or 3, but I'll choose to round up today. This is lyrically lacking, yes, but it's fairly enjoyable. The guitar absolutely rocks all around.

Very not my thing

MY NAME IS KIIIIIIIIIIII... Mixed bag, but I really like the rap rock tracks (go figure).

I don't dislike the two big hits off this--I still remember when I saw Bawitdaba debut on 120 Minutes years ago--but even then it just seemed uninteresting (though catchy!). The whole album is just...one note, I guess? Not sure how to describe it.

Nope

Wow this was fucking terrible what the fuck

It’s really not hard to turn your head off for a bit as this is on, the reviews are quite overblown. I mean Only God Knows Why is one of the worst songs I’ve ever heard and the schtick does wear thin pretty quickly. But it feels wrong to give one star when there were a decent bit of grooves I enjoyed. Even my more positive review has this limping into two stars though. Rating: 1.8

*no music, merely vulgar RAP and noise

I've heard everyone talk nasty about Kid Rock. And while he's not to my taste, and his politics are awful, I think he's better than Beastie Boys. 3/5

29/100. Sounds like someone tried to make a budget Beastie Boys record but added a heavy dose of edge and questionable lyrical choices. It’s loud and brash. Definitely not my cup of tea.

Limp dipshit.

Not quite me but will listen again at least once.

Yeah, no, this was a waste of time lol

Greatest album of all time? no. Catchy af? yes

https://media1.tenor.com/m/q6GpcKP4DW4AAAAd/disgust.gif Genuinely my least favorite album. Was suffering the entire time.

90% cringe 10% cringe in a good way. Very unlistenable, but glad I got to experience "THREE FOOT FIVE WITH A TEN FOOT DICK." Cowboy is fine when I'm drunk.

Rating plummeted the more the album went on. Many of the lyrics were whiny and inSANE sentiment. The music aside from his voice is pretty fine and has a lot more potential than what he ends up doing with it. Honoirrible mention: autotune song... bullgod does kinda go...

Yeah…NEVER. Dude is trash.

I’m not gonna listen to this album because I don’t feel like giving any money to people who actively tout that they want to use their platform to make others lives worse.

Before listening to this album I was familiar with Kid Rock only through two things. First, the song "All Summer Long", which is undoubtedly not as good as "Sweet Home Alabama", from which it is inspired. Second, that he often catches strays in random reddit comments, which gives me the impression that he's considered deeply uncool by a certain type of American. So based on that I was expecting this to be mediocre at best, but it's quite a fun album really. The guitar riffs are pretty cool, the rapping seems good to me (though I'm no hop-hop/rap aficionado). If there's one thing weird about this album, it's the persona Kid Rock assumes, of a sort of southern redneck/inner city gangsta hybrid. Being that he's both white and from Detroit, it's seems to be kind out of nowhere. But plenty of singers play a character, and it seems to me that people decide more or less at random whether to find that cringy or not.

Fuck Chris Rock and everything he stands for l. Trans fights, free Palestine, fuck anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers. 1/5 and I did refuse to listen to this

Det står skidt til, når en lille bid Eminem er et lyspunkt i den samlede plade.

boah na

Screw this guy...did not listen.

why the FUCK is this album on this list

- Gross, a bloodthirsty Zio. - Music for aggro middle-class white boy “Alphas” and incels to posture to their guy “friends”, because everyone knows that they don’t actually like women. - His terrible rapping ruins any potential that the songs had - there were some melodies that could have been enjoyable (e.g., the hits: Cowboy, Bawitdaba), but his weak voice and awful lyrics are so irritating. - I was going to say that maybe it would be better if he sang instead of rapping, but then the autotune country offering, Only God Knows Why came on, and I laughed. Yeah, guess that’s why he rapped. - I usually listen to the albums pretty loud so that I can hear all the detail, but this one, I kept turning down so there was no chance the neighbours would hear it. - And, just for that guy in the reviews who is mad that people don’t like racist misogynists… 0/5 to this racist misogynist Zionist MAGAt.

Very bad.

Shilling in the Name of

Loved it

Why is this here

This music and the man himself make me sick.

Honestly the album was TRASH. it started great but progressed into BAD. 0/10. Plus the artist itself is problematic. 👍

The first two tracks were huge and still are relevant to a degree today. KR was for sure one of the pioneers of this blended style. That said, the rest of the album is just a struggle to get through. Above a 2 due to impact, but I just can’t get to a 3. 2.5/5

Being forced to listen to this the week before Xmas really crapped on my holiday spirit. I’ll give credit to the first two tracks for being hits, but over an hour of this was simply boring and painful. For a guy that comes from a reasonably affluent background to present himself as having it rough is just silly. The music is generic, and the lyrics when not being insulting are elementary and sophmoric. There were other artists around this time that were clearly better at delivering rock/rap performances.

Fuck this guy and his “music”

I came into this wanting to shit on it. But gosh darn it there is something I like. Maybe nostalgia and sad I can sing along with more than I should admit. You can criticize kid rock for all the sampling and cheesy lyrics but then don’t you have to do the same for beastie boys? I also like the guitarist on this. Nothing spectacular but he has some melodic riffs that fit the songs nicely. Also some respect to Bob for producing this and playing many of the instruments (drums and rhythm guitar I believe?).

Hard for me to wrap my head around this being an album I must hear before I die. The lyrics are truly atrocious. First two tracks are pretty catchy and gotta give props for having big hits. Only God Knows Why could be a solid song with a better singer and less vocal effects (I'm told he didn't use autotune, which is wild). Anyways...this should be a basement level 1* rating, but I am rating up based on one thing alone: Joe C. This album would have benefited from having him on more than one track. I'm the J-O-E to the C ho Call me Joe C, got more game than Coleco I'm a freak ho, call me sick Three foot nine with a ten foot dick RIP, sweet prince. 1.5/5

I had forgotten all about this album, and when it came up in the rotation I buckled down for a mental battle against red necked, woman-abusing machismo. The lyrics and stories are often crude and derogatory towards women, but they are in keeping with other rap of the same era—that is to say I'm not at all the target audience, but I try to maintain some level of tolerance or even appreciation for something as a piece of art and personal expression. While I really don't want this to show up as one of my higher rated albums, I can't overlook that this is a fascinating feat of genre mashup, there's some fun and skilled rapping, there's delightfully heavy guitars that manage to maintain clarity and musicality, and from a purely musical standpoint there's quite a few good tunes and beats on this album. Standouts to me are the exquisite bass riff in the track Devil Without a Cause, Cowboy of course as the epitome of their sound of 'hip hop heavy country metal', Welcome 2 the Party is despicable lyrically but rhythmically a great throwback to earlier hip hop, Fuck Off wasn't good but I got a kick out of the Eminem cameo, and Black Chick, White Guy is a surprisingly poignant end to the whole thing and will forever stand out in my head as one of the most risque songs I heard during my youth.

I'm sure the lyrics are awful. I'm sure Kid Rock is a poser by pretty much everyone's subjective definition. I'm sure this is pretty basic stuff, and musically speaking it's not remotely impressive. All that said: I was 13 when this album came out, so I was prepared to spin this up and give it a 4. "Bawitdaba" was mind-blowing when I was a teen, and if I'm being honest it still slaps. The rest of the album really let me down, though. The rock stuff holds up OK, but the rapping is largely awful (Eminem he is not), and the country stuff was mediocre. I guess I didn't actually listen to much Kid Rock when I was younger, I just got a few jams off Napster. I'll never listen to this album again as it's not a great album, but I didn't hate it. 3.0

No

I listened to this back when it was brand new and I didn’t know any better. Even back then, it was 2 stars at best. Fuck this guy. 0/5.

I’m am absolutely humiliated by how much I liked this album. I blame my childhood.

The rap + rock combo is not bad but the musicianship is just insipid

Unlistenable trash. Only gets one star for the music he stole from other more talented artists.

Nope. I have better things to do with my life. For only the second time, to quote track 12, “Fuck Off”.

Nej.

kid boy!

Good, but not all time good.

6:50 in the morning on December 10th, on my way to work, taking big swigs of room temperature Mountain Dew, cranking Devil Without a Cause with the windows down. Pull up beside a vehicle full of young people; I look at ‘em and ask, “Jealous”? They look confused and respond, “What?… No”. But I know they are because I’m a cowboy, baby. The frickin’ Bullgod.

I guess I just don't get the appeal of this type of noise, oh, I mean music. It just seemed to grandiose men, denigrate women, and made sex some kind of punishment. The constant hard drums. electric guitars, and foul language were actually giving to me a headache so that I had to stop and let my ears rest from all the sound. I did finish the album. Every song was the worst song with the exception of, "Only God Knows Why" which was different from the rest of the album. Best song, "Only God Knows Why".

I kinda liked “cowboy” cuz I would listen to it with my dad and we’d make fun of it. Good times. Other than that, not a fan of kid rock or his music.

I really wanted to hate this album for personal opinion reasons, but I actually enjoyed quite a bit of the early music. "Cowboy" being the classic. Any song where Kid Rock was just singing and coasting on confident vibes with no real story was a great time. I enjoyed the vibe of the those songs enough to potentially call this a 4/5 album. However, anywhere Kid Rock tried to tell a story, his sociopathic lack of empathy bled through and it's hard to listen to the music with anything but contempt for him and his opinions. This was especially true listening to "Black Chick, White Guy" at the end of the album, which left me nothing but angry listening to such a "woe is me, I'm always the victim" song. Overall 3/5 because I really did enjoy multiple of the songs here, but a small handful of them are bad enough to regress society as a whole.

It's an album that really stunned me because it combines rock and hip-hop. Which made me keep listening to it. It was both strange and surprising, in my opinion. I think there must be something that keeps me thinking.

Starts good but then it's simply repetition, repetition, repetition. Could have been an album with three songs and you wouldn't hear the difference

We've finally found it. The worst song of all time... "Black Chick, White Guy" by Kid Rock. I hated this so much.

Starts with two bangers. Then becomes more and more chore. Didn’t listen to the end.

The boing sound effects on cowboy? 😭😭 also holy shit these lyrics are terrible. I’m sorry kid rock I don’t wanna hear about you cumming all over some guys wife. Literally sounds like someone told chat gpt to write lyrics as a 13 yr old boy. I used to listen to some of Tyler’s earlier music and those lyrics are insane but at least the songs sound deserving of edgy lyrics yk? ALSO THE FUCKING LITTLE KID ON THE TITLE TRACK LMAOO get me out of heree 😭 the autotune on only god knows why is pretty bad. A little annoyed thinking about how there’s no björk or neutral milk hotel on this list but this somehow got a spot. Least bad song: bawitdaba

Truly some of the worst lyrics I’ve ever heard, but at least they were so bad it was almost entertaining

I have several thoughts: 1. absolutely awful terrible embarassing and also way too long but. the lyrics did make me laugh multiple times 2. one thing cannot be denied about the usa, they are great at creating innovative torture methods 3. why is eminem here

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Look even putting how big of a dipshit he is aside, this is just terrible music. The cringeiest lyrics, and a terrible terrible sound from an era that already sounds bad. I love that he cosplays like he's from the trailer park when the dude grew up rich af. Imagine being rich af but trying to cosplay like your least favorite cousin. The only solace I got was that this album wasn't on Spotify so I didn't give this shitstain any money. 1/10. Would be 0 if I could.

I'll start by saying I'm here to rate the music NOT the person. If that was the case then the majority of albums on this list would get 1 star by default I wasn't aware of Kid Rock's music. I only knew 1 song (All Summer Long) and I knew he supported Trump and that was it. What a surprise I was in for when I heard some of them lyrics!! 1 star and that's being generous This was a man in his late 20's, which was quite frankly embarrassing. He thought he was so cool and tough. No you're a mess, grow up Lyrics aside though - these songs were catchy as fuck. Instrumentally this album would have got a 5, I loved the guitars! It was not what I expected at all based off the 1 song I knew. It's a shame he had such awful lyrics because this album was actually very very enjoyable 3 ⭐️

It's pretty bad. It sounds like an attempt to copy RATM while failing miserably.

NOOOOOOO! What a mistake to include this disaster of an album on this list. It’s in reality an album that the Devil spins on his Crosley turntable over and over for eternity, after you die and are sent to hell.

Better than I expected, 4/5

Il y avait quelque chose, mais j'ai eu besoin d'un Doliprane à partir de la 3ᵉ musique

1 song added to my favorites. Would not listen again.

# Album Name: Devil Without A Cause # Artist: Kid Rock # Rating: 1/5 # Comments: Got to be some of the worst American music ive ever heard The lyrics are for 5 year olds. # Top Tunes: No # Would I listen to it again? No

Fuck you.

I can't

“Bawitdaba da bang da bang diggy diggy, diggy said the boogie, said up jump the boogie” repeated over and over and over again over monotonous, tuneless noise. Good Lord in heaven above, I can’t even begin to explain how moronic this all is. Total gibberish. And we’re supposed to think this is good?? Anybody over the age of 14 who liked this record needs to take a long look in the mirror and form a plan with a therapist to solve the emotional issues in their soul. This album is utter rubbish. It’s a damning indictment of American culture when this can sell 14 million copies. The music is either trudging nu-metal or grating country style twangy guitars, topped with crass, misogynistic lyrics that would make any of the “look how rich I am, bitch” rappers seem humble. Kid Rock made this record to appeal to angry teenagers, but the reality is that it is soulless, commercialised rebellion for people who don’t know any better. I have to tip my hat to him for making millions of dollars without a shred of artistic integrity, but it doesn’t excuse this abomination. Everybody involved in bringing it to existence should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

I love Kid Rock and I am not sorry.

I didn’t get to see My Bloody Valentine live this week due to it being on a school night in London. This is a shame as they are responsible for one of my favourite albums of all time. My greatest regret, though, is that from seeing a band known for their legendary volume, I could have had some of the frequencies that combine to make this monstrosity removed by short term hearing damage. Offensive to at least two senses (the cover takes care of sight) and I am not ruling out the other three. Every time you thought it had hit a new low, it managed to find a way to, somehow, get worse… There are fourteen tracks on the album; thirteen of which are the same song, with the only variety provided by who it is offensive to, and the other which is a ballad with a vocoder. Which is offensive to everyone. Some might question its place on this list but it definitely meets the criteria of an ‘album to listen to before you die’. By listening to this, everyone other piece of music shines a little bit brighter, because it may be bad but not this bad. To this end, the next album this list throws at me is automatically getting five stars as it will be a work of art in comparison to this.

I listened to this from front to back, and honestly tried to keep and open mind but it is SO shit. From the chant in the first song, to the faux country influences peppered through the remainder, the constant braggadocius lyrics that sounds like he’s trying to be Zach de la Rocha but just comes across as Florida man doing karaoke, poorly aged nu metal tropes it just ticks the boxes of the worst excesses of music. If I could rate it a zero I would.

A bit of a joke but done so well

I almost gave this a 2 because it's fairly competent. Almost.But it's all surface level. Kid Rock is actually a pretty good producer, but holy fuck I cannot stand this rapping. Decent at best and at worst it's unlistenable. It's the tough guy macho-ness of House of Pain without any of the skill. I'm sure this is harsher too because of an initial dislike of Kid Rock too but that doesn't make this a good album.

Pretty awful - not sure why it is on the list

I recently learned that “bawitdaba” is short for “baby with a bad attitude”. Ponderous. I get why this was huge back in the late ‘90s, but it is just not doing it for me now. I could not finish the album. Boi-oi-oi-oi-oing. Goo-goo-gah-gah, indeed.

I will say this about Kid Rock. Too many shitty people make decent music. He’s a shitty person who makes shitty music. So thanks.

Yeah, naw. I’m not even going to listen to this album or terrible person. Automatic 1 star.

Usually I'm a vibes over lyrics guy and the actual music on this isn't bad! But my god, these are some of the douchiest lyrics I've ever heard.

That was... really bad.

I honestly can't stand Kid Rock

Garbage when it was released, dated garbage now. I can't fathom why this would be among the 1001 albums anyone would need to hear

This is one of the worst musical atrocities ever committed. I actually purchased this album when it was new and boy was I disappointed by how terrible it was.

In truth it’s not the worst album ever but it’s Kid Rock so I can think of few people less deserving of a fair listen

I did not know that Kid Rock rapped lol 2

Brought me back to high school with this one. Wasn't a big fan back then. Still am not. But the singles from this album will always put a smile on my face.

This album and him as a person have aged like shit (especially him as a person) but have to admit this has some songs that were viewed as bangers in late 90s. Saw him open for the Smashing Pumpkins at a one day festival back in 2007. He spent part of set going to all of the instruments to try and show off, only to do the simplest things imaginable on each including the Smoke on the Water riff. One of the most embarrassing things I've seen at a concert.

I noted to someone once that it's sad how many musicians in their music claim to be against discrimination, patriarchy, and the established system.... But then use all their wealth and influence to support discrimination, patriarchy, and the established system. But I guess Bawitdaba was a good bop.

Not only is Kid Rock today kind of a sleazeball, his music back then was vulgar, raunchy, and intentionally counter to traditional songs. That doesn't make it good.

Damn, I really had to listen to a full Kid Rock album. This guy is on the same level as Kanye West for me. Just absolute filth and ego. I despise him as a person, but I'll separate the art from the artist. The album itself definitely gives off redneck Kanye West vibes and Kid sings/raps about trailer park and trashy hood life. I sometimes get Hollywood Undead party vibes from some of the songs. It's alright, I do not like Kid Rock's music, personally. 3/10

How did this make it onto this list? This guy has zero talent.

I didnt hate it as much as I thought I would. While the subject matter is low brow and a little one note, there is a lot of energy in the way Kid Rock constructs his songs. I could see this being a representative album to a lot of people who felt under represented. Overall- not too bad. 2.5 to 3 / 5

Wow he's awful

I cannot care for the critical acclaim of an album that aged like milk (50% artist, 50% that this style of music did not age well or evolved into something better a la System of a Down). There's already two RATM albums on this list, the Beastie Boys are surely covered. This is a waste of an album space that should go to some critically acclaimed band from China or Central Asia that a 'Westerner' wouldn't know about. Or like, a single Ween album.

Album #964 This dude’s attitude far outweighs his talent. He’s really proud of his badassery, drug doing, and sex having. But we also get a glimpse of his embarrassing softer side, complete with horrific auto-tuned vocals. Surprised to hear Eminem on this. I never got into the grungy rap rock nu-metal whatever you call this. I did enjoy the Fat Boys reference.

Music was ok, the man’s a wanker. Not for me

The road to President Trump was laid by white GenXers, and the warning signs have been there since the late nineties.

Dont really care for this

No!

Walmart Limp Bizkit. I'd give it more like 1.5 tbh because I'm definitely not a fan (been avoiding listening to this album for weeks since it came up), but I have heard worse. An hour of my life I will never get back unfortunately </3

Me ha resultado muy divertido

No I don't think I will

Why is this crap on this list? Quit smoking meth, or you’ll end up like kid rock..

I couldn't even finish the first song. What the fuck is this.

you know, seems to be an infamous entry in the 1001 albums project. i've seen many a post and many a review of this album as if it's an affront to music. "it can't be that bad," i said to myself the day i got this generated, "i mean it has to have some amount of merit to be included on this list." well, i can safely say that i fall in line with the people, why the fuck did i have to listen to this? it's not a good rap album, it's not a good numetal album, it's not a good album. at best it's annoying, at its worst it's borderline unlistenable. this is the biggest dirtbag you know's favorite album. this album smells like a combination of black and milds and cough syrup. even if the vocal performance and lyrics don't make you want to throw up, the production here is not great either. the album kind of sounds like shit all the way through. let this one rot at the bottom of the landfill, where it should be

Can I rate things 0/5? listeners must've been STARVING for good music if this shit was getting critically acclaimed reviews in 1998.... but im glad people woke up from that hysteria..... 1/5 only until they give me the option for 0/5

All I know abou Kid Rock is his ridiculous name and his questionable politics. How apt then, that his music is shit aswell.

Fuck MAGA and fuck Bob Ritchie

DNF

Not listening to that POS

This is the sort of bs they would be able to torture anyone with in one of their secret prisons. He's not a kid and he doesn't rock. Parental advisory is not necessary because any kid in the known universe would cringe and run away from this god-awful fake music.

I hate saying this but it’s not the worst album I’ve heard on this journey. But it still sucks. And Kid Rock is a boot licking bitch

This album is the reason I joined 1001, to extend my listening to albums I steered clear of due to assumptions I'd hate it! I actually really liked a lot of these tracks. Old mates a Trump supporter so I'm not going to pay to see him but enjoyed the listen.

Can I give zero stars to this trash?

It sold over 15 million copies what the fuck

Nope. Not a good album. I didn't need this at any point. It's about twice as long as it needed to be, which is still about a half hour more than I would be typically willing to put into this record.

A lot of this hasn’t aged well, but the songs that hit hard still do.

Unspeakably crass and imbecilic. The music's not very good either.

Ø☆

Not a fan of Kid Rock but can appreciate how popular he was in the 90s. Favorite Song(s): Cowboy

Nope

404 albums in and this is by far and away the worst and most undeserving album on here. In the 90s, Kid Rock didn’t make much of a splash outside the US of A, whereas his contemporaries, such as Limp Bizkit etc did (with hindsight they had some talent compare to this shite). All I knew of him was that he used to pop up on MTV Video montages as the odd fella in stupid oversized clothing thinking he was a pimp. Anyway, I never listened to any of his music because his image suggested it would be dogshite. Well, I’ve listened to the first song and the beginnings of rapping that makes Vanilla Ice look good and can confirm my suspicions were sound. This is dogshite music for people who grill music off the back of their vans. It’s a shame he never decided to be that cowboy who found a nest in the hills and chill like flint (WTF?!?) and put this shite to bed.

I got 4 songs in, yeah I tried but no, no thank you

If your racist “libertarian” uncle tried to make a rap record. And for some reason feature a 10 year old boy and have him say “I’m 3 foot 9 but got a 10 foot dick.” No lyrics have ever made me feel so uncomfortable. Disgusting rage inducing rap metal. Rage induced at the music though, not by the music.

This one is the last straw. I'm done with this whole project. The website itself is amazing. I love the whole concept, which is why I stayed with it for as long as I did. What I've come to realize, though, is that the list it uses is trash. It feels like a combination of: a) Some, admittedly, really good records from the past, b) a whole bunch of British techno garbage from the 90's... presumably the author's youth and what they were listening to, and c) just a random assortment of things we wouldn't normally listen to because they're, frankly, not very good. It's not worth my time anymore. Kid Rock sealed the deal.

No.

This truly is the worst shit I’ve ever subjected myself to. The awful rapping, shitty autotune, and rampant misogyny and bars that only 14 year old boys would find clever was incredibly hard to get though. Not even the Eminem feature could save this steaming pile of dogshit.

Sorry, but this does not fit my definition of music.

Lots of swearing but cowboy ok and genre defining

Thank you world for providing me with this one star album. Listening to this album was like watching a gruesome horror movie, only without the thrills

Fuck Kid Rock

Didn’t even listen. Fuck this man

I lived in fear of this album being out there so now I at least get to conquer it.

This album has some good moments. Certain songs are very hype, in a similar vain to nu metal at its best. For example, the first two tracks come out swinging. Kid Rock’s lyrics are often pretty stupid though, and certain songs like Only God Knows Why are abominations. The misogyny wears old after a while as well, and the length is a detriment. By the end, I was waiting for the album to end. I probably won’t be coming back to this one, but there are undeniably some tight songs here.

At least his music is better than his politics…a little.

Good rock rap album

Blind album, know the artist. Cowboy is such an awful song that it sours anything it touches, including this album. I dont even know what the opening track was trying to say either. I dont know what this is, but it wasn't very good. Why is there a kid rapping about being 3 feet tall with a 10 foot dick?

Not my thing

Rap Metal - one of the few types of Rap that I can tolerate. I quite liked the opening track "Bawitdaba", but after a while the other tracks all began to sound the same, part from the ballad "Only God Knows Why".

Nope. Terrible music from a terrible person.

Wife used to love this guy until he went orange, so I’ve seen him live a few times and gotta admit it was a fun live show. Album is not bad if you separate him from it

Id vote this less than 1 if I could

Kid Rock. I’ve never heard of the bloke, but a lot of Americans seem to hate him? Why? Did he jerk off over young boys wearing a diamond encrusted glove and sleep with a chimp? Or was that somebody else? Surely not worse than that? Ok I Googled him and he’s a MAGA Trump loving fuckwit that likes to mouth off. But surely that’s more likely a reason for 50%+ of Americans to adore him, right?? Also he appears to be a big campaigner against ticket-scalpers - and we all want that! (having tried and failed to get Rush tickets last week). So, anyway, I’m going into this ‘bottom 5’ rated album completely blind. And you know what - it’s not bad at all. Nice tunes. Great production. Ok so the lyrics are rather crass and juvenile to the extent that they’re laughable. More laughable than some of the gang related violent hip-hop stuff that is also on this list and meant to be taken seriously. And he has a stupid name which he clearly loves since he mentions it in the lyrics in nearly every song. But apart from that I think this is ok (will I ever be allowed into the USA again??)

The rock/rap fusion works, but produces a certain amount of cringe. The one kinda gospel song was actually pretty good. Definitely too long.

5/10

Always & Forever, Fuck Kid Rock.

Tried to listen without letting who he's become over the last 20 years color my opinion too much, because this was a favorite of mine back when it was released. Raw and real, it mostly holds up well all these years later in a way that basically none of his more recent music has been able to.

actually pretty good to listen to and quite lit but also very incel core

Okay, this was bad... Bad and boring. I mean, there's nothing that can save this album. Metal? I think it's more of rap than metal, seriously (but I don't like rock-rap or how it is called anyway). However, in the end, I don't care what genre it is, it feels uninteresting and too long for what it has to offer (which is nothing actually). There is one song (or two) that isn't that bad but... it isn't even good to be fair. I'm sure there's people who like it but, for me, it is definitely something I will never listen again. Really, what's the point on making this? To feel "cool"? Well, this is the "uncoolest" thing ever... It's so artificial and silly that sometimes it feels more like a parody than something serious. I am honest, I have listened to the whole thing without prejudices, but one song or two are listenable... More than an hour and ten minutes is just too much!

Some things are inevitable. Death… Taxes… and Kid Rock putting out music that sucks.

Ten album bym jak tanie piwo. Nic specjalnego, ale robi swoją robotę. Nie udaje że jest czymś innym, bardziej wyrafinowanym i ambitnym. Dociera do mas, rozluźnia i leci dalej. 6/10 nie dla koneserów.

2/5. This was a wild listening experience. Never listened to Kid Rock before, only knowing him for his corrosive moral opinions and political preference. Now I went into this with an open mind as I have with all other albums on this list, and to be fair, this did start out strong and then... it kind of devolved into Kidz Bop version of Beastie Boys or Rage Against the Machine, but still with cursing and swearing, as if he just figured out what those curse words mean, fulfilling the "Kid" aspect. It also does cover the "Rock" with some pretty clean licks and riffs. However, with just a little more focus, the novelty wears off and the absolutely crude and simple lyrics shine through. Especially the last song, what a terrible song, it's not even a good story, it's just about how much this guy hates this woman. It's truly not a great album, and the Eminem feature is hilarious, he 100% does not want to be there, his vocals don't even match the beat. Just bad all around. The other funny part is Kid Rock's involvement in the Republican Party. I feel like, if he hung out with just a slightly different crowd, he could have been cool. Just tone down the misogyny and read a book, there is potential there for sure. He is really just two steps away from Rage Against the Machine honestly. The path from 1998 onwards differs entirely but for a brief moment there was a connection. Also pretty much every single song on here if performed by a black artist, this would be a prime example from the conservative politicians why rap is harmful to our country. But, since he is white, that doesn't happen. If anybody listens to this while also having Republican values unironically... I just feel like no one has actually listened to Kid Rock. Anyway, I hate that this is my longest review, putting so much energy into this one. The album, musically, has potential, and there is pop sensibility here that gives him the capability of writing hits. Unfortunately, almost everything that comes out of his mouth is god awful to listen to so it doesn't really save itself. I can't even say it is all bad, there are even jams here that really do work. It gets such a light 2, like 1.1 rounded up. Best Song: Cowboy, Bawitdaba, I Am The Bullgod

Musically, it's completely trite. Kid Rock takes his favorite aspects from popular music of the day (hip hop inspired percussion, guitar solos Ala Skynyrd and what I can only assume are attempts at rapping), tries to recreate them (poorly, I feel I must add) and jams them together into a disgusting amalgam. I think country, rock and hip hop can definitely work well together, but this is what "metal purists" think nu-metal is. A frustratingly simple approach to genre blending that comes off as insulting to all but the most ignorant. Lyrically, this music is just plain sad. It makes me upset to think of people I know, in my life, that feel something other than emptiness when listening to this. The rhymes, the wordplay and flow definitely evoke Mr. Rock's name, it sounds like a kid wrote it. This album was made in a lab by record company execs wanting to cash in on popular trends while packaging it behind the blandest wannabe gangsta white dude they could find. The biggest reason I can think of to include this album is as a time machine listen. This album is incredibly late 90s. America's hegemony was unquestionable. Music about partying has always been popular, but Kid Rock being popular goes to show you how thirsty the masses were for any music that wasn't about something negative. The counter-counter-culture to grunge, alt-rock and the metal underground. Say what you want about boomer era Clapton worship, but at least that music wasn't so fucking empty of soul. Gen X lapped this dogshit up.

This guy wins the award for shittest stage name and person most proud of their stage name, all in one. He won't shut up about it! I actually laughed out loud when I got this one today. 'Bawitdaba' is not a song I would list on the Required Listening Before Death - but that doesn't mean I haven't listened to it a bunch anyway! This album is so stupid, but so fun to listen to when you aren't taking it seriously. I feel like some 90s protagonist, the cool rebel kid that don't take no shit B) Also I walked past a baroque pan flute busker while this was playing in my headphones, which has to be the weirdest mashup ever encountered

Not for me.

absolute garbage

Couldnt finish this

Lowkey boisterous.

He feels like a serial appropriator. A hard and embarrassing listen, reaching new lows with Only God Knows Why.

What have we got in this... country? ew. metal? can be tasteful SOMETIMES. some poser white guy? ew. i think this album is just not for me. Cowboy might JUST be the worst song i've ever heard I laughed so bad. I almost fell asleep listening to this album too so that's that too. I feel like this is for the people who think they can just start a band in their garage and expect it to blow up and them to get all the chicks and be living the life. nothing redeemable from it.

Seriously stupid album, a white guy singing low effort crappy metal music?!?! The lyrics were so terrible, so misogynistic and show how low life this guy is. Also, the fact that he is one of the major MAGA celebrities is the perfect description of how terrible this regime is.

Is it possible to dislike the artist but like the art? Of course, but this prick doesn't make it easy.

OK. 3/5

bad

Definitely being tested listening to this. Wanted to quite halfway through the second song. The lyrics are what I’m struggling most with here. EDIT: Had to stop as soon as I heard this line: “I’ll tell you drop your boyfriend, then drop out of high school” what are we doing here? It is definitely music, but not for me.

If sexually transmitted diseases had a soundtrack

Si no fuera una edición americana este disco no estaría en el listado. Tuvo un tremendo éxito a finales de siglo, pero no dejó huella más allá de ese pelotón de grupos de rap metal que tuvo a este junto con Limp Bikit o Linkin Park como arietes. Bawitdaba es hard rock, Cowboy mejora la cosa pero no termina de convencer, Devil Without a Cause es otra cosa , mucho más funky y sobre todo Only God Knows Why que fue otro enorme éxito (el duo con Sheryl Crow). Aún así, es un disco que tiene su punto pero está lejos de ser una obra maestra.

Sonically, this is not bad at all. Yeah, the crass lyrics, and vulgar tone may detract many but it was more or less what I expected from Kid Rock. Going back to the lyrics, it was definitely the worst part of the album, like sometimes it was funny and ironic, and other times you just cringe and wished you never heard what you just heard. Black Chick, White Guy being a prime example. I can not dog on the production though, that was the best thing about the album bar none. The guitars hit, the redneck instruments hit, and even the samples hit. When combine all those together I'd say you get a average to decent album. Not bad (for the most part). Top 3: Bawitdaba. Devil Without A Cause, and Cowboy Worst: Black Chick, White Guy (absolute dogwater). There's a few more I could name but those were more mid than bad. 2.50-2.75/5 2.50-2.75/5

Nice

Subpar.

Being charitable with my ⭐⭐

is bro ok… who’s he shouting at like? He keeps on saying that he doesn’t care while spending 71 minutes showing that he cares far too much. I almost want to give it a 2 just to reward the nerve it took to put this out there, but then I remember what I just listened to and have to drop it down to a 1

Not my kind of music.

If Limp Bizkit = Walmart, then Kid Rock = Dollar General. I am not going lie and say that I didn't enjoy it, but there were some flaws with the album. Corny lyrics and dragging songs on for WAY too long.

So that's how you spell bawitadaba. It's like he rhymed every monosyllabic word so he had to make up another word to fill in the spare time. What abhorrent garbage. This album is an argument for eugenics.

In the 1980s and 1990s you had the highest chance of taking a sip from your can of soda and it having a cigarette butt or ash in it put there by by an inattentive drunkcle. Consuming this felt like one of those sips. This is music for the type of person that gets too friendly with a convenience store owner because they pick up the same 2L cup of coke and pack of smokes every day around the same time, but you can tell the store owner does not welcome the conversation. The fact that resources were wasted on this in anyway hurts me. Fuel, plastic, electricity, crops, water, oxygen, sun light, busses, aircraft, fabrics, carbon. There are just so many better even local artists for people to give time and money to. Also this album is far too long for what it is.

Kid rock does

varmaan tuskallisin levy tähän asti. ja vielä tietty reilusti yli tunti. 1/5

Not my thing

Fuck you for making me listen to this garbage. Shit album by a shit human 0/10

It’s not THAT bad but it is bad.

I'll meet Robert Dimery at the gates of hell

No

The kid sure does rock.

This blows. A one jerk pony.

A really nice album. I'd not listened to any of Kid Rock's stuff before this I don't think but actually enjoyed most of the songs in this album.

Nope. Fucking no. Uh-uh.

He can’t really sing, he tries to be tough but his lyrics aren’t really meaningful. Some of the actual music is okay, but overall it just sounds like some dude with a jacked-up truck trying to hide his shortcomings.

I had more fun listening this than I expected to but any tracks that incorporated any sort of "old school beat" like Welcome 2 The Party were wack as fuck. It's more like a 2.5 and I think the Limp Bizkit album on the list is actually better than this.

Just going to skip this and give it a 1 because fuck Kid Rock.

I genuinely do not get the hate for this. It’s juvenile and crass, and the artistic merits are highly debatable, but at least it’s trying to have fun. This will never be part of my personal rotation, but if I had to chose between this and yet another K.D. Lang album, I’d pick this 10 times out of 10.

(sigh) politics is not something to be openly discussed here. right now america is having one of the biggest witch hunts in the history of the country, so i don't want to comment about it much. but goddamn this is so awful. the first songs are good to ok but the others. all over the place. ugh. 1/5

I won't lie that I didn't enjoy this album when it came out. Despite owning the album, I don't know that I've ever listened to all of the album. I think Kid Rock is the worm that inhabits RFK's brain, but this album isn't too bad. Some of the songs are stupid, but there's some gold.

This is one of the first albums I've been generally stunned is on here. Did Kid Rock really need to make an album over an hour long? "Bawitdaba" was a lot harder than I expected. Not a lot of country in there, sounded like some Linkin Park or something in that vein. "Cowboy" is a little more country, but still doesn't really have a lot of country sound in there. I liked the little saloon piano section. "I ain't straight out of compton, I'm straight out the trailer" is a funny line. "Devil Without A Cause" is pretty good, I like the beat. "Wasting Time" also has a sweet beat. "Only God Knows Why" is what I thought this entire album would be like (minus the weird autotune?). Songs like "Where U at Rock" make me feel like I'm listening to a poppier and less hardcore RATM. I was really surprised to see this album. I am even more surprised to say I kind of liked it. I didn't like every song, but it was a LOT more rap than country. It's closer to Beastie Boys or Linkin Park than it is to country. 7/10

Honestly started out alright but just kept piling on questionable line after sexist line. I think this is what racist old white dudes think all rap is.

Kid Rock…ugh

Too vulgar for my taste

Loud, glossily produced, wack trash for wilfully ignorant cucks.

instant 1. If a zero would be possible I'd give it that. what the hell is this shit doing here?

Ruim!!! Mas tem coisas piores nessa lista...

Fuck this carpetbagging anal wart AND his dogshit music. Only reason I liked any of his music is because I grew up rural and ignorant in the 90’s, and didn’t know better. Now I do. You have better things to do with your life than listen to “ Songs to be a Pedophile To: Fake Southern Boogaloo.” Do them.

Felt like a thirteen year old trying to be cool but the music was alright

Separating the art from the artist: 3 stars

Album 896 of 1089 Kid Rock - Devil Without A Cause (1998) Rating : 2 / 5 I’m not really a big fan of Kid Rock the person, but I try not to let that get in the way of an honest listen. Overall, I found the album a bit laughable, though there were a couple of tracks I could get into. “Only God Knows Why” and “Cowboy” stood out as decent, but beyond that it felt more like a novelty than something I’d come back to. I can see why many might rate this one below average. The lyrics can come across as juvenile, and the mashup of rap, rock, and country doesn’t always blend smoothly. It leans heavily on attitude and image more than substance, and that makes it feel dated quickly. Still, it had its moment, and I can respect that it connected with an audience, even if it didn’t with me.

it was cringe redneck music by a cringe redneck back then and it's still cringe redneck music but by an even more cringe redneck today. but it partially fun if you don't listen to the lyrics.

No

good album

I knew I wasn't going to like this album because of the person he is, but man, I'm so glad that I have more reasons to hate it after listening to it. The first track might be a bit fun with its wacky chorus and loud guitars, but the rest of the songs, tending more to the country and rap side more than the metal sound, are not as fun. Besides, they could be summarize as an angry white dude who only talks about how great he is and how much hits, sex, money and weed he has. Basically, this record lacks of any interesting topic or value. Futhermore, nothing prepared me to how painful the song 'Only God Knows Why' is. The terrible use of the autotune makes the track one of the most miserable experiences of the whole project. What an awful album. The only redeemable trait is the production.

Didn't get through it.

Things I’m sure of after listening to this: 1. His name is Kid Rock 2. I don’t fw country rap 1/5 Best Song: Only God Knows Why - because what the actual fuck is this?

I mean, it’s kind of fun. It’s mainly bad but there are some fun tracks in here. It doesn’t really sound like anything else, it’s his own white trash nu metal funk hip hop that shouldn’t work but sort of does. Batwidaba is the obvious standout, but there’s a lot of fluff

I think this guy and Limp Bizkit are often held up side by side as the goobers of their time but look: at least Limp Bizkit were somewhat Real. They were trashy Florida Guys being themselves. And, they are a bit musically interesting. Kid Rock, a fancy suburban Michigan boy, is totally unconvincing as anything but. Musically tight but boring, like a bunch of studio guys being paid to make a fancy suburban boy seem cool. Awful stuff here, just so bad. Nothing good to say.

Bawitdaba is a certified banget, and prevents the album from receiving a lonely star. Only God Knows Why might be the worst song I’ve ever heard

I went in ready for this album to be dog shit and unexpectedly I was groovin’ to some songs. Also some awful stuff on here. Shocked to hear Eminem, didn’t know he was on there. This album SCREAMS 90s and I guess there are parts of me I didn’t realize were nostalgic for that.

Overall, the album felt like a teen movie soundtrack to me. I didn’t really feel like listening to most of the tracks again, but I could listen to “Cowboy” more than once, even though it’s a bit long. I can see why this album sold well, but for a “must-hear before you die” list, I feel there are many others that deserve a spot first.

I don’t think so, sorry

Okay, I wanted to hate this out of principle. I gave it a shot, kind of dug the first song, specifically the line “get in the pit and try to love someone”. And then cowboy came on and it was a similar vibe and I was like “didn’t this guy grow up in the suburbs of Detroit? Is that cowboy territory” and then the rest were just like these first two. They’re catchy I guess but after you hear the first one, there’s nothing really redeeming about them. They are what they are.

I knew this one.

What the fuck is going on here? This is so all over the place and so bad at everything it does. The autotuned country ballad Only God Knows Why needs singling out as maybe the worst music ever recorded. I won't deny that at moments I tapped my foot but I also won't deny that doing that made me hate myself so much that I contemplated packing in this whole challenge and going to live as a monk in the mountains.

Only gets the extra star because of the catchiness of a couple songs. Otherwise it's wedding music for siblings.

Inflated-ego-music. 1.5/5

Fuck kid rock

Well. Some genuinely good instrumentals. The country-rap moments actually meshed well and imo better than the rock-rap. However, super juvenile amateur hour lyrics. The lyrics tank it completely. Kinda sounds like a comedy album at points. "life's a bitch, but I deal with her" lmao I did like that there was a reprise of an earlier song at the end. The end. Best tunes: cowboy, devil w/o a cause, wasting time, welcome 2 the party (ode 2 the old school), fist of rage, only god knows why [lol the autotune]

DEVIL W/OUT A CAUSE is never boring, it's is well produced, better than I remember. Heard many of these tracks that were edited for FCC - radio edits airplay. Found my self relistening 'cause I neede all the F-bombs, KidRock is therapy and a great American!

fuck this guy.

Oh, I haven't heard this album since, well, 1998. This one had the height-disadvantaged gentleperson on the album. I miss him. I like how he tells you his name at the beginning of the first song. I have a sneaking suspicion that Kid Rock isn't his real name, though. He does mention his name throughout the album, just in case you forget who you're listening to. Cowboy shows some versatility. The title track has an old school vibe that's pretty dope, and even has a slight Too Short sound for a second. That's probably my favorite song on here. I see he toured with Too Short early in his career, so that makes sense. I would say this is his best album, but I haven't listened to any of his other albums, so there's that. Look, I think Kid Rock is generally an asshat, but he is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist, and he worked his ass off throughout his career. Mad respect. I really like the old school rap vibes and the blend of styles on this album, plus Eminem has a cameo. I'll give this a 4 for all that. I refuse to listen to any of his country albums, though.

I'm going to guess that Mr. Robert James Ritchie is probably an interesting and maybe down to earth guy to talk to. I was in my late teens early twenties (I think) when he became popular and I didn't like the music at all upon first hearing it. All these years later, it still doesn't really do much for me. The music itself is ok, but the whole delivery just doesn't do it for me. I find the persona and feel of it to be kinda cheesy.

gopfetammi de huere tubel. würkli. es wird zimli sicher es protest 1 geh. aber losemer mol. de my name is kiiiiiiiiiiiid schono cool. und s isch afoch nu metal halt. cowboy anschinend mega früene country-rap? macht erz mega nüt mit mir, d uuuhs sind cool. er rappt huuuere goofy mann. wenns rockiger wird isch besser. aber scho seeehr "jooo ich bin so country und redneck und jo" vomne privilgiert ufgwachsne guy. ich schäm mich gad so hert dass ich das lose bruuudi. title track au huuere goofy würkli fuckin ya hoes würkli? alte er het als chind inere rieeese mansion glebt mit me stall fürd ross und so. wichser tue nöd als wärsch en redneck. okay mues pause mache. halts nöd uus. sogar de eminem verse isch gaggi. ich ha am ahfang denkt es seg vlt no decent aber er seg halt afoch en tubel. aber es isch nödmol guet, er het so fest s gfühl er seg extreeem krass. er isches nöd.

Not as bad as I expected, but my expectations were extremely low. Not 1 star bad. Obviously not great. His flow is awkward like a lot of 80s rap. More varied than Rage Against the Machine. Lyrics are cringe. Favorite song: I got one for ya

I completely forgot about Bawitdaba. Actually thought it was like Limp Bizkit or something. Gave me a good laugh this morning. I dont care about this guys political beliefs, actually, I dont care about any of his beliefs. I guess I can give credit where it is due, he invented a genre. I just wish we could get rid of said genre. White Trash redneck rock.

Not listening to this shit. I try to be openminded but this is a step too far. I begrudge the fractions of a cent he would earn from my streaming.

Man, this list is wasting my time.

I really wanted to give this a bonus point for genre-fusing. But this is not an album that should be celebrated. Everything that people say about the urban hip-hop community is more on display here than on any true gangster rap album I’ve ever heard. Openly advocating for murder, disgustingly misogynistic lyrics… this album is honestly pretty gross. Do Not Listen.

Fine, I guess. Funny to hear the remnants of his hip hop in there, and I get why it was so big at the time. Still don’t think I’m gonna be a fan of his work though

Genuine aural dogshit.

I mean I respect the genre-combining aspect of this, but the material is kind of rough and I can't get past his need for shock value.

I like Kid Rock, I like his voice and style, but I wasn’t crazy about this album.

bawitdaba. nostalgia. magic in a bottle.

Have I got the right list here? Trash human makes a trash album. Full of misogyny and absolutely no redeeming musical features.

No.

No omg

Better than I expected, but also there was a lot I didn’t care for.

I enjoyed this more than I expected. 4 *

#685. I feel like the fact that this song is one of the lowest rated on here is funny. It's just virtue signaling by internet dorks who think their political opinion matters. Even in a vacuum where you didn't know anything about the guy or his politics, there is just so much fucking unlistenable trash on this list that this album just slots somewhere in the middle by default. I mean, there are six huge hits on this album. I had to get to the fifth song before I heard one I hadn't heard before. There's so many on here that have zero hits in their entire musical career, let alone on one album. And you know if you're about fourteen business beers deep at about 1:37 am and Only God Knows Why came on you know you're going to be singing along to that auto tuned monstrosity, and if you say otherwise, we know you're a liar. 3/5: fun enough, if dumb as hell

No

I guess I had no idea of Kid Rocks Genre.. not horrible

Mauvais Rock + Mauvais Rap + Mauvais country = Mauvaise musique Quelques bouts plus musicaux peuvent être catchy, mais c'est une longue heure.

Mélange entre du Rage against, Beastie boys et du country. Ça sonne ass et fake. Pas été capable de passer au travers d’un album de 1h15 aussi plastique que ça

La sample de Second Hand News m'a tué. C'est pas mal toujours la même chose, Kid Rock imite les Beastie Boys et parle de à quel point il est cool et hot par dessus un instrumental insipide simili-country-nu-metal. Très mid. Beaucoup trop long aussi.

funny

bawitdaba was cool when I was a child. Not now.

Too noisy! Not my fave

Not bad, but kinda a low 3?

It wasn't bad. I didn't particularly enjoy it, but it was more listenable and had a greater range than I thought it might.

never a favourite. seems to like to hold onto a riff or pattern over a few songs. is it classic rock or rap or ,????

i didnt know he rap?

Shit album by a shit artist.
