Devil Without A Cause

Holy shit this sucks. Bad lyrics. Why is there a kid on this album! Only good thing on it is the Eminem feature. I’m killing myself tonight and this album is the reason why

Bawitdaba 0.7 Cowboy 0.6 Devil Without a Cause 0.4 I Am the Bullgod 1.2 Roving Gangster (Rollin') 0.7 Wasting Time 1 Welcome 2 the Party (Ode 2 the Old School) 0.3 I Got One for Ya' 0.4 Somebody's Gotta Feel This 0.4 Fist of Rage 0.3 Only God Knows Why 1 Fuck Off 0.5 Where U at Rock 0.4 Black Chick, White Guy 0.3 Score: 0.585714286

I can't put into words how bad this was.

Could you imagine being an actual fan of Kid Rook and thinking that this is some of the best music ever to exist? Favourite Songs: Bawitdaba, Cowboy. Least Favourite Songs: Fist of Rage, Only God Knows Why, Fuck Off, Black Chick, White Guy.

I understand why it’s on this list, with its influence still being felt in music today, but this is absolute trash and torture to sit through.

I'm only half way through it and it's literally terrible.

Cultural appropriation at its worst.

What the fuck.

No way will I listen to this POS!

Impressively braindead. Almost entirely worthless. I wasn't able to get through an entire song.

Fuck this pussy ass loser

Ve och fasa vad cringe och kass

Can’t get behind kid rock. Sorry to all the Detroit folk out there

I debated not listening to this on principle alone but I’m a completionist so I did. The opening track, Bawitdaba, isn’t bad, but the rest of it is tedious. I guess that’s a literal kid on Devil without a Cause?

I think we can all agree that if were a ranked list this would be #1. Glad this is on here; definitely a landmark album. Why aren’t there more albums as good as this one? Where can I find more of this?

Very likely the worst record on this list, like I seriously can't imagine anything else on this list being worse. It's insulting, annoying, and way too long. I never want to hear Kid Rock's stupid voice ever again. Favorite track: ... 0.5/5

I'm doing my part to bring this Album where it belongs o7

Just no.

Besides that, this is that stinkin' scumbag, this album is abysmally bad.

I'm so happy I get to help make this the lowest rated album on the site! Lets get it down there

Nicht mal Trump mag das

Another rap-rock album, another 1-star. Just not enjoyable for me at all. Can't wait to get Limp Bizkit and add another 1 to my collection.

"You've got to be kidding!" was my reaction to seeing that this album had made the list. The ironic distance needed to listen to this album must be the size of the Atlantic is all I can think contributed to its inclusion. I start playing it on the streaming service and notice Kid Rock is sitting at a little over 5 million monthly streams and I've had a crisis of identity as someone who once thought he had good taste in music. And yet, 1 minute in I knew it was the world that was insane and my initial response to Kid Rock and his music has always been sound. This record is trash. There are better celebrations of hedonism and the Dionysian spirit than this.

*expletive-laced review follows* Get this flaming maggot-haired shit cart of a human being off of this list. Fuck. This.

Do we have a negative rating available? This faux country/rap/rock crap didn't sell when were in college and it doesn't now.

Why have Homo sapiens prevailed on this planet over more intelligent species? This album will make you see to contemplate that.

You've gotta be fucking kidding me

This is rough. One of the worst albums I think I've ever heard. It's incredibly misogynistic, crass, and it isn't even that fun to listen to, except for maybe F*** Off with Eminem, who I also think has a lot of those same issues in this era. But the worst sin thie commits is that it is insincere. There is no genuinity here and it comes across like an insensitive teenager who just learned the word hoe. It actually worries me that people listen to this and think it represents them, because it's just so low, I can hardly imagine meeting a person who behaves like the lyrics state in person.

i didn’t listen to a second of it. as i once heard in a particularly awful song, “ain’t nobody gonna tell me how to live!”

haha bawidaba

It's January 1st 2025 and this album probably sums up what the year will be: Fucking garbage.

Just think. There are people in this world who consider Kid Rock to be the peak of musical excellence. I'd imagine he has fans worldwide. Anyway, register to vote.

Yeah, no, this is trash.

Houmous & Chutney wrote an album for a bit of fun back in the 80s. We called it ‘Music For Idiots’ and was just a bit of a dig at the manufactured music world. We never knew that the record label big dogs actually gave it to Kid Rock. 1.1

hard to rate this one objectively, it's probably a solid 2 but yeah

excuse me?!

Today, I learned kid rock grew up on an extensive property with orchard and horses. His dad owned multiple car dealerships

Embarrassingly I have one of these songs on my main playlist already - Fuck Off (feat Eminem) - Which even more embarrassingly I always thought would be a good fit for a wrestling theme ————— If you’d told me this was a concept album where a rich kid bully got his emotionally distant father to fund him a shitty rap rock album recording and during the release party a sewage truck sprayed the popular kliq. I’d easily believe you. Rubbish.

Album #988 and I finally get Kid Rock. Well, let's get it over with. I've never listened to any so let's see what I've been missing. OK not as bad as I expected, but that's not saying much, it's still absolutely terrible and also offensive. First song was faintly familiar. Only God Knows Why was godawful and would make this a one star album if it wasn't already. Yeesh.

Fuck this TRUMP ass licking clown

First track actually goes hard Followed by the fucking monstrosity that is Cowboy. Why dude Bro someone get their two year old away from this man why is a child rapping on here Labelling this as metal is a disgrace to the genre, it's more butt rock Only God Knows Why must be the literal worst song I have ever listened to. Not an exaggeration. I really, really tried to like this because I thought it would be funny to piss everyone off by playing it infront of them but fuck me, that was BAD. Easily the worst album I've had so far. I'd rather rip my toenails out with my bare hands than listen to this shite again Oh and just when you think the torture was almost over, and you thought it couldn't possibly get any worse, he drops the n word. Fucking hell lmfao

70 minutes of cheap, tacky, hacky, proto-hick hop. This is really as bad as it’s made out to be in this community.

I tried to listen to this with an open mind, reasoning that this had some importance with regard to pioneering a genre. I was familiar with “Bawitdaba,” only tolerable for its inclusion as a joke in a Workaholics episode. While I suppose the blending of country, rap, and rock is supposedly noteworthy, this album just felt like a shitty imitation of groups who’d already done it better, performed by some wannabe rich white boy who wants to pretend he’s “hard.” The music is uninspired, the lyrics are juvenile at best and intolerable and offensive at worst. This is coming from someone who used to listen to Easy-E’s “fuck my baby’s mama” regularly (to be fair, E tags the end of that song with “wait, hold up, this is messed up”), along with any other number of degrading misogynistic shit. I don’t like Eminem, but at least the man is both genuine and can rap (and will regularly call out his predecessors in the genre). Also autotune country, wtf. I kept waiting for him to drop the N word. I was hoping maybe he wouldn’t, but given how this trash went, I was disappointed but not surprised by the last track-12 minutes of recycled stereotypical narrative BS complete with the N word. This album is some straight garbage, made by a man who has continued to prove himself garbage. The phony and the fake you can’t hang with, Mr Rock, is indeed yourself.

I'm actually shocked this isn't the worst album on the list, but that doesn't mean it isn't still bad, terrible even.

I had never listened to a Kid rock album before. I’m shocked that this seems to be critically lauded. The lyrics are juvenile. The band sounds amateurish. The production is awful. Confounding.

I have never listened to this album before, but know the singles. Deciding to do this project was for exactly reasons like this - to listen to more music I may have ignored, overlooked or disregarded. But in this case fuck this, Devil Without A Cause is absolutely as awful as I had always assumed it would be.

Major douchebag with douchebag music. Honestly, if rich white trash made music. Rap infused with rock but sucks ass. 2/10.

The first few songs were bad. The rest of the album was even worse! Don’t like the aggressive, limp bizkit cover band playing at a country bar, nu-metal mashups? Good news! You get to hear kid rock auto tuned to hell singing some slow jams too. And if you got through the first hour of the album and thought “it’s been bad but at least it hasn’t been racist”, that last song will shatter even those expectations. Silver linings: I never have to listen to this again!

i don't doubt that kid rock was capable of sincere friendship and love for rap and for his detroit scene, but this whole record is the most brazenly insecure poser shit i've heard in my life. so much of the output is literally just kid rock trying and failing to sound hard and cool, and any redeeming value is either lifted from other artists or contributed by them directly. that this was popular or influential to anybody is almost certainly less due to the product itself and more due to the distinct edgy landscape of the late 90s desperately, cynically seeking to fill some faux-rebellious void. this sucks.

1.5

The best thing Kid Rock has ever done is make really shit music, therefore saving us from really annoying "separate the art from the artist" discussions. Not only does the art suck ass, the artist sucks even more ass. Gonna be a 0/5 from me for this future Republican nominee for Secretary of State. I don't even like "Rage Against The Machine". Having to listen to a way shittier, misogynistic version of that for a whopping 70 fucking minutes had me feeling like I'm strapped to the Clockwork Orange chair. Save the turtles.

I told myself I will not be swayed by the negative comments before listening, but honestly, I see why so many people hate this album. Politics aside, this has got some nice riffs if you're a fan of the early 2000s rock sound, but since I personally really despise that period in rock music, this wasn't doing much for me. I was not a fan of the lyrics either, 'cause I'm not really into listening to someone brag about: A) their money, B) fucking everything that moves, C) hiding ten AKs in their basement, D) being a raging incel. I thought this album could be hiding some good stuff after all once the ballad started playing, but the overprocessed vocals killed anything positive I had to say about the song. To be honest, even if I turned my brain off and pretended the obnoxious rapping and lyrics didn't exist, there's nothing particularly memorable about this album. I debated whether to give this a one or a two, but in spirit of solidarity and because that man is awful, it's going into the bottom tier.

this sounds like no expense has been spared at the weed and bacon grease budget

This album is way better than I anticipated, but still impressively bad. Kid Rock cannot rap to save his life, but the beats are sometimes okay-ish. The (terribly short) Eminem feature was the highlight of the album by a long shot, if only for a break from Kid Rock.

This was some hot shit at the time. Now it's aged like dog shit.

Kid Rock sucks, as a muscian and a person. Don't give him your money by streaming this garbage. Unless, of course, you're into d!ckhead rock then, by all means.

Asshole

Yesterday I quipped that an album called Rock Bottom was the rock bottom of this list. I was mistaken. Devil Without A Cause is the rock bottom of this list. P.S. My theory that any artist who says their own name in a song makes bad music survives another album.

Is this some kind of sick joke?

Artiste inconnu. Les premiers morceaux sont plutôt entrainants, avec un son metal plutôt bon et une voix type hip/hop que je n'apprécie en général pas. A peu près à la moitié de l'album le son métal disparait, et il ne reste malheureusement plus grand chose sauf les travers hip/hop, avec des morceaux longs, très répétitifs et inintéressants. Après on a quelques morceaux pompés sur RATM en beaucoup moins bien. Puis un slow avec un autotune atroce que je n'ai pas supporté. J'ai arrêté ici, je ne suis pas allé au bout. =>1/5

Beforehand I thought people were a bit harsh. But damn, this really was a crass perverted mockery-version of his obvious inspirations (RATM, Beck, rap music etc.). Actively dislike his persona. Never again.

This racist dickhead can fuck off

nope, absolutely refuse.

Good lord I did not enjoy this at all. What cringe strange music. It's like Red Hot Chilli Peppers at their worst. But worse with strange gangster rap type stuff thrown in there. The autotune slow song was so cringe and wank I couldn't bear it. This was deeply unpleasant to get through

God lord this was AWFUL. All over the place, terrible genre. The rapping was just terrible and vacant, just talking about random stuff then insulting some women then slapping in some bass guitar. Absolute tosh. Kid Rock looks like the worst person, like he grew out of a petri dish of terrible american values.

why is kid rock on this list. 1/10

Terrible stuff, he can’t sing, his music sucks and he supports Turmp. Total crap. Would give it less than 1 if I could.

This deserves negative stars. What a piece of shit album. He’s a disgusting human who creates garbage music.

I can't listen to him anymore, he has turned into a such a d bag

I refuse to provide any white supremacist and right wing hater with additional income, even the pennies that Spotify pays their artists. But looking at the song list of the album, I don't have to listen to it, to know its redneck trash. I'm honestly confused what Kid Rock is doing in such a list in the first place.

This is the 921st album I've rated. And it's quite possibly the worst thing I've ever heard. Absolutely dreadful.

Yikes

Every day, we stray further from God's light. Kid Rock, of course, is an alternative name for Epstein's Island.

J’refuse

Horrendo. Espantoso. Me puso de malas y no entiendo por qué un disco así está en una lista como esta.

Not even 1.5

Wow, this was tough to get through. Like the worst parts of nu-metal, rap, and country mashed together, with some especially jarring autotune bafflingly thrown in. I was surprised to recognize the first two tracks, as I’m not at all familiar with Kid Rock; they’re not good songs, but it’s pretty much all downhill from there. If that’s not enough, it’s also so long? Why?!

Tom mc Donald before Tom Mc Donald.

First song: "I want to listen to Rage against the machine" "We have RATM at home" RATM at home = Kid Rock The rest is a total embarrassment. Edgy rap rock that I can live without.

Terrible cheeseball rapping about how hard he rolls and how he gone go platinum with his homies in the back Eg I never was cool with James Dean But I be hangin' tough with my man Jim Beam And the music doesn’t redeem it. Cheesy rock riffs as if played by disinterested and underpaid session musicians. How was this shite universally acclaimed is beyond me.

Total fucking dick.

If I could give zero stars I would

No thanks I'm good (I have actually heard this before, so don't take that as me not listening to the album at all. It just sucks and I don't want to hear a song like Black Chick White Guy or Ode 2 the Old School ever again. Pretty reasonable I think. Why's this on the list?)

You've gotta be fucking kidding me. 1/5

I was dreading this day for a long time as I learned early on that this album was included. It took 1,056 days but here we are. My apprehension was quite warranted. I knew I hated the 3 big singles as well as some of the deeper cuts that kids used to sing along to on the bus to school back in the day. Funny thing about that: back when I was in middle school I wanted this album but never got it. I probably would've liked it back then, but I find no nostalgia or enjoyment in this now. The lyrics are gross. I hate them so much that it could get a 1 just for that. The music isn't always terrible, but it is most of the time. Kid Rock definitely isn't a great singer or rapper though and the auto-tune on Only God Knows Why is laughable. Honestly, I dont care about Kid Rock's politics which seems to be a bug source of his hate these days; but I have hated his phoniness for a long time. The guy has always come across as so inauthentic and trencd chasing. I font think he has a genuine bone in his body and that has always rubbed me the wrong way. Yeah this is a definite 1 and should've never been included. There were better representatives of the rap rock craze of the 90's. Some, for better or worse (emphasis on worse), made it to the list. This album deserves to be left in the dustbin of history.

What RATM must sound like to people who (really really) hate RATM. Except, Kid Rock has none of the backbone and none of the finesse needed to pull a genre like this off. I mean I'll give it to him, RATM aside, not many groups have been able to successfully pull the rap-rock genre off. The RHCPs barely scraped by, probably thanks to Flea and their restraint when it comes to spoon-feeding their listeners this specific sound. Limp Bizkit is...well Limp Bizkit but at least Limp Bizkit is somewhat fun to listen to. I won't comment on a group like Linkin Park given I haven't heard a full record by them - but Chester and his singing were always the stars of that group. Anyways fuck this album, and fuck this appropriating hick wannabe rapper who made me sit through this shit for 70 minutes. The production has some redeeming qualities and whenever Misty Love comes in, it's like an ear-cleanser - but what's the point when the choruses are this painful, everything is so overblown in the mix, and the verses are so boilerplate to the point of parody? Like I'm confused why is this on this list? Perfectly good Saturday morning stained by this shit.

Nope. This rests neatly between the steamy bottom layers of a 3-day outdoor summer concert porta-pit. Fuck this twat.

Ugh a poser with sexist lyrics who really wants to pretend he grew up atruggling. Two songs that are catchy, one lifts the chorus from Busy Bee the rapper, the other sure does sound similar to I Want To Be A Cowboy.

With no due respect, fuck no. 1/10

Goo goo ga ga

This is my 463rd review so far. I've averaged 372 words per review. Today, I just can't be bothered. Seriously. If the preceding 59 minutes of yelled dross hadn't made me want to bite my own ears off, one scan of the lyrics of "Black Chick White Guy" was enough to make me commit to a one-star rating. Zero art, zero class, zero flair. This is class clown antics disguised as music.

Absolute trash

Bad white-boy rapping, misogyny, racism, asinine lyrics, thinking saying “fuck” a lot is edgy, musical incohesiveness, bad autotune, AND awful bloat?! All in one album?! All from a noted Terrible Human Being?! Yay!! Surprisingly does have some highlights (namely every time Kid Rock shut his mouth during “Fist of Rage”) but those highlights don’t outweigh the idiocy. https://kamalaharris.com/

Fuck Off

Kid Rock is not seminal, he's derivative. This album is filled with samples from famous tracks and name drops in the lyrics to make it seem like Kid Rock has something interesting to say. I did listen to the whole album to give this artist--that I already knew I disliked--a chance to have his voice. I wasn't impressed. I see the argument that Cowboy invented the country-rap genre. Like Elvis, Eminem, and Vanilla Ice before him, Kid Rock profited by appropriating the ideas of black artists at the time and showing them to a larger audience. Is that something to celebrate? I doubt he collaborated or raised up any rap artists with his work. I don't like the persona, the values he represents, or the music he puts out.

Devil Without A Cause is an album I've been dreading for a while. I do not like Kid Rock and I knew this was going to be an obnoxious listen. Everything about Kid Rock outside of his music straight-up sucks, so his music probably sucks too. The album opens with the only single that I was previously familiar with, Bawitdaba. I hate to admit that this is a really good opener that hypes up the rest of the album. Despite the terrible lyrics and nonsensical chorus, it is particularly well-produced and has good riffs to back it up. Unfortunately, the rest is trash and should be discarded. When Rage Against the Machine did rap rock it was cool, mostly because there was more of a message. Kid Rock is just a moron.

Complete piece of shit.

Wish I could give it less than one star.

Ignoring who Kid Rock became, this shit sucked when it came out and it sucks even more as it has aged. Misogynistic drivel peddled by a rich kid who wants to act hard.

I knew this day would come. Approaching so bad it's good territory but it's still bad. Even my limited nostalgia from hearing this shit back in 98 (in high school ugh) when it was new can't save it. Joe C. had way to small of a part, his rap is hilarious. Also the Bud Light has turned him gay.

Never heard this album, but have heard "Cowboy". Just insultingly bad. Perhaps it's on this list as a cautionary tale. Never forget, lest this might happen again.

I could have rated it higher if I was feeling generous, but come on, it’s Kid Rock.

Ahahaha, it had to happen, and lo, 'tis today. Possibly even funnier is the review assuming most people who think this is awful are American Redditors - as in you have to have already had your head turned to not want to claw your ears off when subjected to this. I try really hard to be objective when it comes to music but seriously, this is just trash music. I listened all the way to the end and it was consistently shit. Worse than that Limp Bizkit one. Cannot understand anyone other than 14 year old boys liking this.

Crap

Garbage cliche elementary lyrics with instrumentation that is 10 years too late to what Rage was doing a decade prior from a brain rotted MAGA sycophant. Fuck this guy and this album.

I have given listening to this a second thought as I didn't want Spotify to judge me and fuck up my algorithm. Fuck kid rock and fuck this trash record. I did listen. It sucks.

Redneck crap that's not even worth a county fair.

How is this the 7th worst rated album on this list, and not the 1st?

FFS. I get it. This guy existed. Now he shoots beer cans against woke culture. What a flog. Anyway, here goes. Bewptidabsa, or whatever it's called, is probably used by the CIA to interrogate tried suspects. Cowboy is aspirational, but not very. Devil Without a Cause is... Bad. I have stopped listening and may well take several days to recover my IQ. ZERO stars if I could. One star because I have to.

30% Best: N/A Must-Hear? Fuck no, worst shit I've ever heard

Just so bad.

Quite possibly the worst record of all time & definitely not worthy of this list.

Not a fan

I have actually already listened to this album 1000 times when I was a young white trash boy growing up in Indiana. Listened to it a few months ago in the kitchen for nostalgia. Did not need to hear it on this particular evening. Thanks 1001 think we can drop this one for almost any other album ever made. BUT I GOTTA GIVE IT UP FOR MY BOY KID FOR THAT EARLY USE OF AUTOTUNE 👏🏻

2 Intros including 1 minute of singing is all I could take

are you fucking kidding me

if herpes had a soundtrack.

Aright, I’ve heard enough. About halfway through and that’s all the Kid Rock I can take. I knew this album, or at least a lot of it, from when it came out, and he always just make me kind of nauseous. I can hear the greasy hair. I guess as the kids today say, he gives me the ick.

I would give this negative stars if I could for this trash.

Horrific album and even worse artist.

Skipped this one. Not going to listen to a jackass collection of trailer park anthems.

Albums You Must Hear Right Before You Die so you can be at peace leaving a world where this dogshit is considered essential listening. And that's even without knowing present day Kid Rock. If I were to believe that we needed some redneck pimp's raprock in our lives, I could accept the album's first couple of tracks as surprisingly serviceable. From a historian's pov. After all, stuff like this was, regrettably, a thing back in the days. But then, circa halfway through it becomes mere music to smash empty beercans on your forehead to. And then: worse. Fade to today's Kid Rock, licking his fingers, 𝘴𝘩𝘭𝘱 𝘴𝘩𝘭𝘱, as he flicks through mp3s on the laptop of the dj booth he bumblingly took over, 𝘴𝘩𝘭𝘱 𝘮𝘩 𝘱𝘰𝘱𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘭𝘦, on some TFG Jr's party and we arrive at the bottom line: This is grossly dumb shit by an absolute cockwomble and the world would be a better one without it.

How did kid rock end up on this list. The first song reminds me of a car racing game my brother played on PlayStation when I was a kid. The album art work is cringe . Kid rock is a jerk . I refuse - 1 star . Sorry

lol no

That was a dissapointment.... Besides Bawitdaba, there was not much to be enjoyed from the album

i will not put this on.

not listening to this shit

ew no thanks

Gross. Would give zero stars if I could.

Not really my type of music and many songs sound long and rather generic and bland.

I don't listen to wankers

i can't man

I’ve never wanted to listen to an album less, but I am committed to this project. Kid Rock is a POS, but in a quest to separate the art from the artist as much as I can, this does have some catchy tunes on it. Definitely remember a lot of them from back in the day. However, there’s also a lot of gross misogyny and it’s just generally over the top. It started making me angry as it went on, especially towards the end. And if I have to keep my car windows rolled up while driving because I’m too embarrassed to be listening to someone, that’s also problematic. Fuck Off, Kid.

No

i laughed, i cringed, i got angry, i felt confused, i judged my dad’s taste in music, i laughed again and then it was over. one star ❤️

I tried to look at this objectively, and not down rate it too much because of kid rock, but it starts mediocre, and gets worse.

No.

Everything else aside, this is just objectively bad, though well executed music. This genre of music from the late 90s and their albums suck. Way too long in the CD era, including remixed versions of earlier tracks on the album. I was not expecting to hit a fully auto-tuned song, and then have that followed up with a song featuring Eminem. Kid Rock is music for aggrieved straight white men, and it sucks that he is around and is figure with any cultural significance still. I was bummed to even give him the streams to listen to this. Get this off this list ASAP.

I’m trying to rate artists not by their politics, but by how their work makes me feel. This album makes me feel like machine-gunning a case of Bud Light. Seriously, the music isn’t bad but the lyrics are cartoonishly juvenile and asinine.

Kid Rock? Who in their right mind would recommend this shit?

Kid Rock can lick every inch of my old sweaty hairy balls. Fuck him and the weird fucked up horse he rode in on.

and a 1 and a 2 and a SKIP!

Kick rocks, kid.

I'm not going to waste my time with this one.

The first 2 songs are not that bad - in a kitschy, nostalgic way. Then it just gets typically white guy rapping and nü metal. So yeah. . .

Only God Knows Why, Kid Rock has had a career as an artist. He needs to stick to boat rock, yacht rock is just a little too classy.

The best way to tackle this album is probably by highlighting another review on this site. It was a troll review for five stars justifying the score to offset all the low/1 star rankings based on how awful a person Kid Rock is and how terribly this has aged. And even with that, the reviewer couldn't maintain the facade and admitted it was truthfully not a 5 star album, but actually much worse. Even the trolls can't make excuses for this.

Fuck kid Rock.

I was relieved to see I wasn't alone in disliking this... knock off Rage against the machine?

LoL get the fuck outta here!

Deserves a slap.

it’s like rage against the machine but infinitely worse

I don't wanna waste my time listening to this lol

I don't really want to listen to this

Good fucking lord, I can't even get past the album cover. Hard pass.

Truly embarrassing.

"White people can't rap" Kid Rock, drunk as fuck : "Oh YeEeAaAh?! HoLd My BeEeEeEr!"

* burp *

Mid rock

i just couldn't listen to this...

We should just erase this era and style of music from the record books. 1/5

Fuck. This. Shit. I wish there was a zero star option.

Bleh. Country kinda started to slap though. But this is not good cmon team

Dog shit.

I had Sonic Youth’s Daydream Nation two days ago. One of the top rated reviews is how loud that album is. Man, do I miss the loudness of Daydream Nation. At least it always came after a period of relative quiet. There is always a sense of dynamics. I don’t know if it’s just that Devil Without A Cause is a victim of the Loudness War, but man, this thing is actually uncomfortable to listen to. Actually, you know what, I just got to I Got One For Ya. ‘What the fuck happened to the peace and love?’ FUCKING PEOPLE LIKE YOU KID ROCK, YOU DENSE DENSE MORON! If the album is on this list because it’s notable for being an early example of Country Rap… Actually you know what, I just got to Only God Knows Why… ???. ???. ???. What? What is this doing on here? What is that autotune? Why is that there? If you’re going to do an honest to god Country ballad, you can’t get the same person who did Cher’s autotune on Believe to do yours. And why the fuck is it after Fist Of Rage, which was possibly the worst, hardest song on the album so far. ??? My god, this is going on my playlist of worst songs ever. Actually, you know what, I just got to Fuck Off. You got Eminem, possibly the best rapper around in 1998, and you put him so far back in the mix that you CAN’T HEAR A WORD HE’S SAYING! And now, the last two minutes of the song is just a load of answerphone messages? It worked as a trick on Good Kid Maad City, because it served a narrative purpose, but here? Is this a concept album now? Fuck Black Chick/White Guy. This is the most misogynistic, racist crap I’ve ever had to listen to. I don’t know the half of it? I don’t know the half of it!? Maybe if you treated this woman like an actually fucking person, like someone that you genuinely want to have a relationship with, or even respect her enough to not sleep with other women, then she wouldn’t sleep with other men. Fuck this. A lot of the bad will people have towards Kid Rock nowadays is that he’s proved himself to be a massive piece of shit. Devil Without A Cause proves that he hasn’t changed in 25 years. I feel numb after listening to this. I need to go listen to some Leonard Cohen or something to remember how to feel like a human being again.

An absolutely vile pile of garbage. I’m embarrassed to share a home state with this man. Fairly sure I upchucked a boogie after having to listen to this

Horrific

This is an album you MUST listen to for the same reason you must know what chlamydia is.

How did this make the list? I like some terrible music and this I quit on the third song.

I knew this was on the list thanks to the Reddit group, so I had pretty low expectations going in. Surprisingly it’s actually worse than I thought. His flow is weak his rhymes are asinine the music is poor. Sadly I can’t give a negative score

Countryrap, whatever. 's Mans taalgebruik en politieke denkbeelden zijn niet los te weken van de inhoud van de plaat, dus persoonlijk draai ik liever de meesterwerken van onze Fransie dan dit.

-1 star

awesome thanks

I want my money back

Holy shit this is bad.

Misogynistic, disgusting. Couldn't finish it.

Please never again

I am going to be writing this review as I listen so I may ramble and sound disjointed. I guess I need to explain that I love (good) nu metal; Korn, System of a Down and Deftones are some of my all time favorite bands, but this is straight dog turds. I knew Bawitdaba from high school, but I never realized how bad his vocals were, there is almost no energy behind them. I am the bullgod is like babies' first metal song. Barely even a riff. Roving Gangster is basically the same song. wtf is that annoying noise in Wasting time. IT IS SO ANNOYING WTF! how is this the 5th highest stream song on this album. I got one for ya is a terrible song Somebody's Gotta Feel This is the same song as Roving Gangster and Bullgod in a different key. Fist of Rage is just a bad Filter song. HOLY SHIT ONLY GOD KNOWS WHY IS THE WORST SONG I'VE HEARD ON THIS LIST SO FAR! The worst thing about this album is that it sounds fake. Kid Rock is a poser and doesn't belong in this scene. Korn and nu metal as a whole were huge at the time and he is just cashing in on the hype. I don't believe that any of this was made out of the love of music but rather what could make him the most money. I can't believe that this made this list and Korn's debut (the birth of nu metal) didn't Kid Rock has a terrible voice, his music has no soul and worst of all his riffs are weak. I am going to go listen to the Coal Chamber album now.

Just no

Take the soundtrack to a 70s porno, add a little distortion, and rap over it like an edgy 14 year old bragging about all the sex and drugs he does to his fellow virgins, and, hey presto, you’ve got a Kid Rock song. Ok, maybe that was a little harsh. He can also auto-tune his way through a generic pickup-truck Country song as well as imitate a pound shop Rage Against the Machine; imagine Killing in the Name, but the bassist has had a stroke and it’s about smoking weed instead of racist cops. TL:DR: it’s very important to Kid Rock that you know that he: - smokes weed - has fucked your mom - could kick your ass if he wanted to - has a girlfriend; she just goes to a different school

Potential for the worst album on this list? Having seen other reviews, I went in hoping I'd find some enjoyment in it to give a higher mark. I'd heard a little Kid Rock before, so wasn't expecting anything great. But this surpassed my expectations. Impressively cringe. When the autotune kicked in on Only God Knows Why I had to laugh. Did not expect the Eminem appearance.

Just some dumb rich kid cosplaying as a redneck pimp.

If a genie came to me today, and granted me three wishes, I just might use one of those wishes to ensure I never have to hear or see anything relating to Kid Rock ever again. I am embarrassed to say I sat through and listened to this entire thing. It is remarkable how unenjoyable this album manages to be. I doubt he set out to write and put together a record that feels completely devoid of what makes music actually interesting, but it sure feels like he did. This is utterly vapid to the highest degree. And I believe anyone that enjoys this to some capacity should be ashamed of themselves. Kid Rock is a piece of shit who makes terrible music. Plain and simple. This is an insult to everything that rap and metal, and the fusion of the two, represents. There is literally only a 6 year difference between this and the Rage Against the Machine debut. It’s crazy how much better something sounds when you have people with real talent and purpose creating the music. I’m capable of listening to music that doesn’t necessarily have some massive purpose. Music can just be that. Music. But everyone knows it’s often better when there is some real meaning or story fueling the creative process. As Pharrell Williams put it, “Once it becomes purpose-oriented, it can be as cool as the flashy shit, but it will be much more meaningful”. What is the purpose of this album? To me, it comes off as completely senseless trash. Kid Rock is so disgustingly cocky, and for as abhorrent of a lyricist as he is, (seriously, dude can’t write lyrics for shit), he manages to make Limp Bizkit sound like Shakespeare. Also, he just flat out says the n-word on the last song. Don’t know who convinced the white guy from Michigan that was okay, but it killed any minuscule amount of respect for him I might have had left. I’ll give the first song the benefit of the doubt, but that’s really hard to do. It’s the only thing on here that is slightly listenable, but is still a bad song. Everything else is completely worthless. Shoving an actual rock up your ass would be a better use of your time. Rating: 2/10

Nope

Pure shite

Absolute tosh.

Those first two tracks hit with a heavy dose of nostalgia and I was feeling that the vitriol for this album was overblown and undeserved. Then I heard the rest. Awful, just awful.

The presence of this garbage discredits the entire list.

Rock rap. Only listened to three songs, don't want to give the wacko any more support

When Lucas sent the thing in the slack I was not sure if this was gonna be one of those things where u have to have refined taste to hate it, clearly not! This is hot ass! Total rubbish. Had to roll up the windows in the car at intersections while this was playing bc having someone I know(or don’t know for that matter) pulling up next to me and hearing this coming from my vehicle is my personal hell. The ego on this guy, my goodness. Anyone who doesn’t have a problem w his music should take a look at the public image and Controversies section of his Wikipedia. apparently he’s a loud n proud republican & gun nut. Public display of the confederate flag?! Are you kidding me. Racist, misogynist, homophobe, transphobe AND makes bad music, this guy is not my cup of tea nor should he be anyone else’s.

Alright, two awful albums in a row. Funny how we went from illmatic to this- one of the worst rap albums ever- so quickly. It’s actually beyond me how this made the list. Just for max, my rating out of 10 on this one is a 0. Shit sucks.

Many people hate this just for the Kid Rock of it all. Not me. I hate this just because it sucks.

When I was younger and knew little of the world some of the more known songs on this album seemed fun. In retrospect, it is a mash up of genres that comes off as over produced and muddled. Bob’s lyrics are awful and the character he pretends to be is shameful. 1/5 It is utter nonsense

Horse shit.

The worst art I have ever consumed. Dreadful. Worse than the thing I had to give 0.0 to because it made me feel sick. I've given it 0.1 because I was physically capable of hearing it, but I didn't enjoy a single second of this. By all accounts, Mr Rock is a middle-class white kid from the respectable suburbs putting on a cap and pretending to be a rock rapper. Go away. Imagine Rage Against The Machine if Tom Morello left, Zach had a lobotomy and they had absolutely nothing of value to say. You're imagine an album 100 times better than this.

What a terrible day to have ears. Not only does this album suck more than anything I've ever listened to before, but the lyrics are so generic to feel insincere but still make me feel gross. To call this music is an insult to music.

Nu metal with rap. I don't like it.

I wanted to give 2 stars for including eminem before he got really big. But "smack-selling" what? Minus one. God, this is worse than normal country.

This isn't music. It's torture. How did such a talentless guy sell so many albums? How did this album make the top 1001 of all time? I'm genuinely confused.

I really hate anything Kid Rock is or stands for. What a complete loser.

Oof, dreadful. Managed two and a half tracks and had to bail. Glad it’s out of the way.

Could only make it through four tracks of this trash. Hasn't gotten better with age

The most insipid thing I've ever listened to. No amount of crunchy guitars or Fleetwood Mac samples could save this from being insufferable. Kid Rock is awful. Next.

Terrible

Wow this take a genre I don't like (rap-nu-metal) and makes it worse and it spews out for 70 minutes.

Muistuttaa user generated album of 6330bcd3272e8c04f99e622f... Heh blind channellistä oppiipahan kaverit....

Not giving kid rock listens

Ass then, ass now. Politics and Bud Light aside this was never good. I don’t like giving a 1 rating but this is deserving of a 1. Garbage

it's actually okay to not listen to this one. i promise.

I recently learned that Stephen Spielberg watched Borat with Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock, which insane. Even more insane, upon watching the scene where Pam gets kidnapped in the movie, Kid Rock got insanely jealous (they were dating at the time) and he blew up at her. Anyway he sucks lol

Fuck this guy and his useless music.

I’m not giving this asshole any streams.

Gross

Meth Eminem. I can't believe I liked this album when it came out. This is proof I've made mistakes in the past when it comes to music. 1/5

When you have Limp Bizkit, remove Lethal and Wes Borland, this is what remains: a bland rock album.

I understand why it’s on the list, but it’s so garbage. Really not even worth listening to all the way through.

sounds like an album the government would play to torture terrorists. some catchy stuff but don't understand the appeal.

This is more of a disconnect for me than Korn. I guess it's good perspective though. I feel like this project is truly 'doing the work' of holding hands across the aisle haha

White trash nu metal. Kid Rock has never had subtlety as his strong point, and it shows here.

I'm not listening to this trash. Kid rock is a hot pile of garbage

Ah, well this was interesting. I didn't know who Kid Rock was, assumed he was a clone of Axel Rose and expected some low grade southern rock sort of thing. Instead I got this lame whiteboy rapper. Couldn't finish - I always listen to every song even if I'm not enjoying it. But this time - I had this down as 1 star from the first song, and that is supposed to be the highlight of the album.

Interesting to see that even in 1998 America had absolutely no quality to control on the shite it churned out. This is on all of you and you should be ashamed.

Not the worst album on here, but not for lack of trying. Music is mostly fine but some of the lyrics are abysmal at best.

Dogshit person, dogshit album. Negative 5 stars.

Not good

It’s not for me. Kinda corny, I know a ton of people thought it was a vibe and for that I guess it could be nostalgic but it’s a hard pass for me.

He isn't a kid and he doesn't rock. My patience is wearing thin with such medicrity and if the first track has no positive elements then its off.

This was worse than that German band hitting pipes with a hammer

W H Y

Rap metal. Second album on this list I couldn't finish listening to. I actually had a higher opinion of Kid Rock before playing this record than I do now. I'm not a big fan of rap metal anyway but this is hot garbage from a total poser. Crappy rhymes and generic music that just serve to grate on my nerves. Only halfway decent song is Cowboy (at least of the first 8 tracks before I gave up).

Lol, fuck Kid Rock

Gotta be the most self-flatulating, self-aggrandizing album I’ve ever heard. You’re not that cool, kid.

Phew, thank you, next.

Out of principle i refuse to listen to kid rock and instantly rate him one star

Homeschooled Zach de la Rocha. I didn’t know hype music could make you feel tired

This... sucked. Kid Rock is a spoiled white kid from Michigan who ran away from home to be tough. Important for rap rock and fusing country into the genre. Even Eminem thinks Kid Rock went way too far into the drugs, guns, and pimp lifestyle. It just feels ingenuine and too based on creating the image to make this sound

I thought it wasn’t as terrible as the reviews here made it seem. And then the AutoTune track came.

Sounds like a middle age dad living in the suburbs that bought a cabrio and decided to act gangster to go along with it, just trash really

Trash

I've definetly given stuff which was harder to listen to 2 stars but being a complete douche also has to count for something

The more I listened to this, the more my rating went down. Liked the sound of this to start with, but can't get past the lyrics. Too much ego, too much sexism and there's more to life than drink and drugs.

Rage against the machine from temu.

I tried to go in with an open mind. It didn't work. I am the bullgod and black chick, white guy were decent but sound like knockoffs of earlier songs.

i cant

The late 90s. Contain is dead. Music is still trying to figure out what it wants to be…. Mistakes were made…

This site owes me 71 minutes. I didn't want to listen to this, but I did it anyway. Just awful. Congratulations to whoever signed this guy, you made some people a bunch of money. 0/5

Wow. It takes something to take the Limp Bizkit template and be unequivocally shitter in every single department. I had low expectations and this dug tunnels under them. Deeeep tunnels.

I thought I hated Kid Rock. My memories were of an onanistic misogynist with very dubious values and music of very little value. Then Bawitdaba played and I was willing to put aside my prejudices because it just sounded fun. Maybe I was wrong and I should just say Welcome 2 the party (ode 2 the old school). Then Kid Rock - fake Cowboy - he may think he’s a Devil Without a Cause and a Roving Gangster but I discovered I was Wasting Time coz he is a phoney and a lyricist of very suspect beliefs. What the hell with your offensive songs - I Am the Bullgod and Black chick, white guy. So Where u at Rock, I got one for ya, feel my Fist of rage coz Somebody’s Gotta feel this. Only God knows why this record is so popular because all I wanna say - Kid - is Fuck off.

Dude can take a cool riff and make it unlistenable.

Kid Rock is surprisingly multifaceted. He isn't just a gross, redneck, misogynistic edgelord, he also can't rap for shit.

No! Never! The music is terrible, but the man is absolutely vile and the fact that this is on the list at all makes me completely question that viability and judgement of the list. It might just be enough for me to stop getting these daily albums. 0 stars if I could.

p838. 1998. 1 star. Foul mouthed white rap without the humour or intelligence of Eminem. Tedious, shouty noise. Why the fuck is this on the list?

Bit embarrassing - could not take it seriously

You lost any credibility you thought you had by including this trash on your list.

Never been a fan of this music or artist.

Kid Rock is a lying misogynistic talentless hack. He doesn’t deserve a review wuth any effort.

it's telling that the first top review over one star is someone boosting their admittedly 3-star review to 5 because they assume people could only dislike this music off the artist's politics, and not because it sounds like the smell of burning hair. this premise is especially false, as it elides what a major piece of shit Kid Rock has proven himself to be outside of his political leanings (and how he's a rich boy who grew up on an estate in the north, not the southern trailer trash he purports to be); it also presupposes the music doesn't sound like the smell of burning hair. which it does.

Language

I listened to this on Youtube in an Incognito browser because I didn't want Spotify to remember. If only I could also not remember. The best part of this listening experience was the Youtube ads. Vanilla Ice with metal/country fusion. This is one of the worst albums I have ever listened to.

Affirmative action for dårlige rappere at sætte den her på listen!! Mid beats og lorte flow :(:( Beastie Boys slipper afsted med den her slags fordi de har en god sans for humor og har lidt ironisk distance, RATM fungerer fordi de rent faktisk har noget på hjerte og noget at sige, men den her slags energi virker ikke når ens tekster bare er "my name's Kid Rock and I'm here to say/I do da rap-rock in a major way". Lyder pinligt! Passer heller ikke helt ind i country boy-æstetikken at han nævner han er fra Detroit hver 3. linie men hvad ved jeg

For lang (~71 minutter for lang). Gad god vide hvad fanden der gik igennem forfatternes hoveder da de besluttede at det her lort skulle på listen. Mindede mig meget om når min lille nevø siger et bandeord han har hørt i børnehaven for at se hvordan de voksne reagerer, men heldigvis har min nevø væsentligt mere respekt respekt for kvinder og minoriteter. Det bedste rap BY FAR var da Eminem dukkede op i et minut, og det er virkelig ikke Eminems bedste arbejde. Beatsene på et par af de mere rockede numre var sjove nok I guess?

The singles are just bad music, but the rest of the album is 100x worse. Absolutely unlistenable

DNF-ed honestly Cowboy was the only fun song, nice to see put a face to that meme. But fuuuuuuck this guy and his lazy, vapid lyrics. Holy shiiit Like he features a black woman on a track but her name isn't anywhere in the title. Everything is about how he gets made fun of for his nose and that he liked to smoke crack and drink and get in fights. he's racist and just... god so annoying.

Not listening to 70 minutes of this

hell no, WTF

Racist

Lmao what a tool. This was a letdown; I've never listened before, and by reputation I had got myself hyped up to hear something truly dreadful and cursed, but instead it was just dull and dumb, dime a dozen

Awful. My ears were bleeding after listening

Not sure what I don’t like more - the cover or the music. I remember seeing him do the rounds of the American late shows & just thought he was ridiculous. It’s not a horrible listen, just a pointless one.

Some time in the 90s, the major record companies realized that white boys were buying rap albums. They especially seemed to like sexist and violent gangsta rap. "Hmm,' they thought "I wonder if we could convince those white boys to buy even more albums if we shoe-horned in even more things that they like: heavy metal, southern rock, country music, and some racism. We'll keep the sexism and violence and drug use and gangsta posturing, but better remove any racial politics. That might make them feel uncomfortable" And hence we have Kid Rock! 14 million sales of this rancid diatribe, precision engineered to pander to the worst instincts of white adolescent males. I listened to this all the way through, and now I feel like I need a shower. It successfully ticks all the boxes it meant to, and is schmickly produced for what it is, but the content is just execrable. It did not surprise me when Kid Rock became a vocal Trump supporter. This is garbage.

If I could put a zero I would.

Even if you can separate Art from the Artist, this is still hot trash.

This is really bad. It's a terrible genre to start with and it's a bad example of this terrible genre. There is no need to throw fuck around as many times as he does. I curse a lot, and even I thought it was excessive. I guess I can sort of see why it was included in this list from a historical perspective, but it's not good, I don't want to listen to it, and I can't imagine I'll ever listen to it again.

It's 1001 Albums to Hear Before You Die because this is the 1 that gives you the aneurysm that kills you.

As terrible as expected

I'm getting second hand embarrassment on this one. Will I listen to again: 0%

Words can't do justice to how bad this is. What suburban pre-teens listen to when they're trying to be "hard".

Listening to this album served almost entirely to make me realise a lot of jokes ive heard before are at kid rocks expense and for good reason, rather be listening to icp goddamn

1/5 - As a moronic teenager I tried to write rap lyrics, it was terrible and cringe and my friends laughed at me and thus my rap career ended. It seems Kid Rock didnt listen to the laughs of his friends and continued to embarrass himself. How this album sold millions of copies is astounding.

71 minutes of my life I'll never get back. Started bad and got continually worse. 1/5.

This fuckwad appropriated hip hop and trailer trash in one album. No person is better at using great samples so terribly. I’ll never forgive him for telling me to put his balls in my mouth. Also, IT’S FUCKING AN HOUR AND A QUARTER! What the fuck!? I hate this album nearly as much as I hate Kid Rock, and nothing makes me happier than giving him 1 star.

This album gets ALOT of hate.. And I see why, it is extremely cheesy, musically uninteresting. It reminds me of some stuff MGK would make, perhaps the most generic pop-rock I've heard. 'only god knows why' is one of the worst tracks i've ever heard and only god knows why it has 70m streams. I bopped abit to some songs and I'm quite guilty about it.. I guess I'll see you at Kid Rock's next concert, I'll be standing by the Lochness monster. 1.5

Didn't listen, and won't. I was 12 years old in 1998; enough of my life's memories have been tainted by the showerphobic culture vulture's incompetent grunts.

I went in with low expectations and was still disappointed. I'm not a hater of rap rock, but Kid Rock doesn't do a good job of mixing the two. Wasting Time was the only song where I felt he found the right balance.

The album was okay but not really my style of music. I didn't like how crude it got at times as that's not something I'm a fan of in songs. I did like the song Fist of rage. I wouldn't listen to the rest of the album again.

Kid Rock is trash these days. I think I would have enjoyed this back in the day when Nu Metal was all that and I was super into Limp Bizkit, Korn, etc. But nowadays, meh, and the whole album feels samey. 1*.

This was a good album, at the time. He did have some talent at the time. However time has not done him any favors. He is an opportunist fascist wanna be who is desperately trying to cling to any relevance he once had. Minus 3 stars for being a fascist.

Garbage

I’m jumping on this 1 bandwagon. What a load of shit this album is

Next 5 Songs played by my Spotify Algorithm: Rob Zombie - Never Gonna Stop ( The Red, Red Kroovy ) Everclear - Santa Monica Willie Nelson - Shotgun Willie The Trews - Poor Old Broken -Hearted Me Candlebox - Blossom

As bad as Limp Bizkit. I'm always suspicious of artists who constantly name check themselves on every other track.

Absolutely dreadful

The best country rap album I have heard, 10/10 HL: “Bawitdaba”, “Cowboy”, “Welcome 2 the Party” November 10th, 2023 But honestly, I can’t let this review slide without mentioning Kid Rock has a pretty great band behind him; the choir in “Wasting Time” and the funk in the title track are almost something, I almost forgot at times that they were being used to back up Kid Rock rapping about how he loves meth and hates women (paraphrasing) “I Am the Bullgod” is bottom-shelf cock rock, so imagine my delight when it showed up twice in the tracklist While I can argue that it’s not a good representation of hip-hop, country, classic rock or nu metal, the delight Kid Rock seems to take in tossing them together is the one reason I’m not going to decry the inclusion of the album on this list. At least not on this post

It's so close to being good. So close. But this is really not my vibe.

Awful

Listen to this and every song makes you think of a different band that did a similar sound better. His lyrics are especially pathetic, childish, and uninspired. If he's gonna want to keep shooting up cans of bud light, he'd better invest what money he has left well. Bullets ain't as cheap as his lyrics and this loser ain't gonna ever have a hit song again.

I made a mistake and hit 1 star instead of ZERO!

you almost have to appreciate a white guy bringing into reality the most debased, terrible version of what so many white people have imagined all rap music to be

This album might hold the record for how many times I checked to see how much time was left and boy was I bummed each time. What utter, irredeemable garbage. Wish I could give it 0 stars.

Nope
