Devil Without A Cause

Probably only on this list to remind us all how cringe and shitty Kid Rock is

The rap and metal combo is sorta douchey as is, but no one has ever made it douchier than Kid Rock. This album is so lame.

fuck kid rock lmao

no, will not listen cause he’s an asshat

Trash absolute trash. One of the worst things I've listened too, unbeleive how one of the lyrics is about sleeping with underage girls but it's fine because at least he isn't underpaid, get in the fucking sea you racist waste of skin

Usually try to separate the art from the artist but not here, because the art is also bad

This album is really just seriously awful in a fun way. An unholy combination of rap rock and country that is just as good as it should be. I would give it two stars for how much I enjoyed it but I’ll give it one because that’s what it deserves. First three sentence review

I've had enough Kid Rock to last me for the rest of my life. I've never been a fan of "I'm so cool" lyrics, but some of the music is okay. I can't enjoy the music for more than a few seconds without getting dragged down by the lyrics. What would have happened if he had never met Kid Rock? What would he have written about? Devil Without a Cause is a full album of a rich kid playing dress-ups. There are very few lyrics that aren't centered on telling us how cool he is. The characteristics that he describes to try and portay that "coolness" are baffling.

Just- no. I did actually listen to some (not all) of this. It doesn’t merit a response.

If you brought together the two worst genres in the world; country and metal you get... this. Even worse it has late 90's rap rock thrown in. If it was presented as a comedy album I'd have given it 5 stars

I’m not listening to this nut job.

Hahaha, no.

(yawn)

Oh god. This is going to be a test of endurance. It's the worst of the rap rock fusions. His rhyming and vocabulary together make it the worst combo. "A garden hose made out of 24 karat", fuck you Kid Rock. What?! Eminem is on this album?

My knowledge of Kid Rock extends to that episode of the Simpsons and his appearance at Woodstock'99 so this was a highly anticipated listen. "Set up an escort service (for all the right reasons)" has to be one of the best clarifying statements in music history. There is so so much wrong with this yet I can't help but wiggle my finger over the five for reasons I can't explain. I think there are a few albums that fall into this category and at this point it's actually far rarer to get a one from me than it is to get a five.

31/100: This album is atrocious and it should be expeditiously removed from the list of albums. It does not deserve more of my time than it has already stolen from me.

Musically? Yes. Lyrically? No thanks. I think that most people rated this so low because they just don't like him or his persona. I think that he's just trying too hard. It all sounds forced.

Slow dive and MBV are better

I admit that I skipped through this... I can't listen to an hour of Kid Rock. I'm sure he did his best and I'll give it to him, Bawitdaba kind of slaps.

Well this was shit. Did not age well at all. Too much misogyny.

Dead boring.

Nope. What I always hated so much about Kid Rock, before I even knew how bad a guy he was, was that he really ruined rock for a number of years. Maybe it's not his fault, but the whole army of these rap rock bands just took a shit all over the place and made rock die. The fact that this was ever popular is kind of disheartening. This asshole is rapping and it's fucking atrocious. Fucking cornrows. Fuck this guy. I got two songs in. I tried. The first verse of Cowboy did it. This was created in a lab that makes things for me to hate. I listened to Return of the Frog Queen and I feel so much better.

You snowflakes! Here's a news flash - AIN'T NOBODY GUNNA TELL ME HOW TO LI-I-IVE!!

Wow. This is irredeemable. Can he rhyme? Yes. But he’s no Eminem. Having Eminem appear on one track has the effect of an implicit endorsement by Marshall Mathers himself. But the storytelling craft is lost on Kid Rock. Rapping to rock music? The Beasties have done it for years already. I thought the last track, which does at least tell a story beyond that of the self-proclaimed master of all white trash, showed some potential to raise the music out of the gutter, but it was so misogynistic that it failed to provide any value. I won’t waste my time with this one again.

Not sure how this made the list

i guess the mash-up of genres is supposed to be innovative for the time? production is good, but lyrics are too corny for me and i personally don't really vibe to this

This album sucks

I have no idea what he's on about but country/rap/rock is not a genre I feel I want to know more. Also his face on the cover looks like a mouldy prune with a wig of straw.

Redneck metal is not a thing. This is shit.

Oh sod off! I tried, I did, but it's like listening to Limp Bizkit's hillbilly cousin - it's embarrassing! nul points, 0.

very very bad

Listening to this album made me realize how much I have completely misunderstood Kid Rock. My foolishness and ignorance had long gotten in the way of my willingness to recognize the true artistry of the Redneck Pimp. For so many years, my understanding of the lyrics to Bawitdaba was that the lyrics went like "Bawitdaba-da bang-da-bang-diggy-diggy-diggy Said the boogie-said up chuck the boogie" but the lyrics actually go "Bawitdaba-da bang-da-bang-diggy-diggy-diggy Said the boogie-said up jump the boogie". It still sucks though.

Id give this a 3 (because its a 2.5 and theres rules) if it didnt have the incredibly out if place God Only Knows Why and the tone deaf bs at the end. Oh also if kid rock wasnt a wanker. So 1 instead.

I heard enough to make a judgment.

It's not just that the music is bad (and it is), and it's not just that he can't rap (but he can't), it's that the lyrics and everything just highlight what a horrible, disgusting persona he built. It's just so awful, and actually pretty disturbing.

I didn’t hate this album as much as I thought I would. Do people unironically listen to Kid Rock? There’s a few catchy things on here and a funny line or two but why is this thing 71 mins long? This is the first entry where I’m wondering why this was included

I have no idea why this is on this list. Zero. If I could give less than one star, I would.

An ordeal from beginning to end.

While the first two tracks are memorable as energy filled pump up songs with catchy tunes (although terrible lyrics), it quickly falls off a cliff and the second half the album is unlistenable

"Got more game than Coleco"....well, they went bankrupt so that's not saying a lot.

This is an example of one of life's biggest regrets. This album is complete trash, an object lesson on how to recognize such trash, and an optimistic silver lining that the things which are beautiful are made so much more obvious when juxtaposed with this pile of refuse. It is no secret that Kid Rock is controversial, and for the most part such controversy is okay, but what is not okay is sucking at it.

i wanted to be contrarian and like this but it is very bad

Why

This album starts off ok. Bawitdaba with it's nonsense sounds and rockin' tune. Cowboy with hilarious nonsense about a boy from Detroit. The album then just completely devolves into "I am the best" until the laughable Only God Know Why where he wants use to feel sorry for little Bobby. Then finally he just tells everyone where to go. This album is a hot mess and I'll be glad to not hear it again.

I'm more than a third of the way through this project and this is my first one star album. 71 minutes of cringe. It took an act of willpower to listen to the whole thing. 😠 Fave track - "Bawitdaba", I guess. It got used on a TV show or cartoon I watch, maybe, so I have some slight positive sentiment towards it...

This is a 'turn off the listening history' sort of album. Highlights? No, none of those.

Wow, this is the definition of white trash. It's so misogynistic and sexist it just sounds like the definition of a rich white boy getting his rap on, and definitely not in a good way. Also, what's with the kid (as in it sounds like an actual child) rapping on Devil without a Cause?? The whole album has this weird fusion of country, rap and rock, and at 71 minutes in length it is WAY too long, and almost wish I had skipped listening to this, the only saving grace was listening to Eminem's verse on Fuck Off. Best: Fist of Rage Worst: Cowboy

Niet te doen

I hated this shit when i came out and I still hate it today. 1/5 because 0/5 isn't possible.

It’s Kid Rock

Back in 2000 I was 12 and into WWF and a fan of the Undertaker so enjoyed Kid Rock as he did the theme song for American badass. I am now 34 and realise both WWF and Kid Rock are both absolutely shite. This is the worst album Iv had on the list so far.

Only liked the last song

Jeez this was tough.

Screw kid rock. Just no.

-10. The fact Kid Rock in greatest albums brings to question the legitimacy of this list of albums. Please remove!!!

Wait. People have actually given this clown money?

Poorly done pastiche Cover art 3/5

I really don't know much about Kid Rock, but this album is just one of the worst fake rock/rap albums I've heard in my life. And I finished it even, gave it a full chance. These lyrics are such highschool bullshit, I don't even know where to start on this one.

Best Song: Wasting Time. Only for the soulful chorus sung by not Kid Rock. Worst Song: Only God Knows Why. This has to be the worst ever use of auto-tune. T-Pain is Overall: I have too many teeth and too few wallet chains to enjoy this music. Almost nothing of worth here. Kid Rock's lyrics are monumentally bad. He knows exactly one rhythmic pattern, into which he dumps whatever trashy ode to beer or women he's barfed out. Everything is vulgar without being interesting, delivered with this unearned bravado and confidence that suggests Kid Rock thinks he's a badass because he says bad words into the microphone. This album sounds like how cheap beer smells.

Not great.

I hope this album can prove that you can like things and still hate the person that made them but lets see… I actually quite liked how bawitdaba was it was a great intro track and definitely gives insight into what i’am about to hear… Well nah I wasn’t a fan of cowboy one bit. Devil without a cause started off well but drags at the 3 minute mark and the verse with the kid makes me straight up cringe. I am the bullgod and roving gangster ( rollin’) were both fairly enjoyable to be completely honest, fine there’s much better examples of rap and rock working together but it’s not bad. I think i vaguely remember wasting time before and yeah… it not great also same with welcome 2 the party. I got one for ya is slightly better and it’s the only way this album has kept up long enough without me giving up. Somebody’s gotta feel this is one of the better ones but at this point in the album it’s getting really dull exactly the same with fist of rage. Only god knows why is a good pace changer but there’s too much autotune on those verses. Fuck off is a very mixed one for me the song itself is a return to the normal kid rock bullshit then there’s some samples at the end which i did find intriguing but they should’ve used less as that but drags. Where you at rock is also not great the chorus is so annoying! Black chick white guy makes sense as the album’s closer but still not a fan actually the best bit about that track was putting i am the bullgod on again. This album starts off okay but then a stream of shit knocks you out rendering any possible slightly good song as shit as well. So in conclusion in this case I don’t like kid rock and I don’t like his music. But it may well appeal more to a fan of rap music cause rap ain’t my scene.

I don't like his style. Could save some songs but generally it's too hard for my ears. Couldn't finish the album.

This was pretty much exactly as terrible as I would have guessed.

Nope. Just nope. Incredibly cringeworthy.

This was already terrible in 1998 and, even then, it managed to age poorly. It has some mildly interesting rap metal and country rap moments, but nothing done better before or after. It's just an album that fans of those genres might think about listening after everything else those crossover styles have to offer, and even so, maybe it's better to listening to something else when you reach that level of rock botton.

I just can’t …

an utter phony with his clunky hip hop / classic rock mashup

Came in with extremely low expectations which it seemingly surpassed. Then I realised that pretty much everything good about this album had been pillaged from the greats of 80's hip-hop - you can hear Doug E Fresh, NWA, etc. all loud and clear. So, plagiarism combined with a level of misogyny that would make Ice Cube wince.

Wouldn’t give that MF the sweat off my balls

US College White Bro-Rock Let's just call it 'Brock' as it's mainly listened to by Frat Bros called Brock. It was called 'trailer trash triumph'. The only question I have is - why would you do this to me?

oof. Reminds me of the jocks listening to this in the change room before a game. I can't be objective enough to evaluate the production quality or musicality.

Fucking terrible

Ponad trzysta pickow a lista i tak potrafi zaskoczyc czyms takim jak devil without a cause pana Kid Rocka, po samej okladce z nadzieja sadzielem, ze zaserwowany zostal mi jakis murzynski rapers, a dostalem redneckowego kowboja, ktory bawi sie w bycie murzynem, po okladce sadzielem, ze naprawde jest on czarny, bo ilu bialych ludzi chodzi w dlugich dredach, na ponad 70 minutach materialu pan Kid Rock serwuje tluste bary przeplatane gitarkowymi brzmieniami rocka czy nawet metalu, tylko zeby przejsc do country i jego niebieskiej strony, nie obylo sie takze tego czego kocurki lubia najbardziej, a zatem synthy instrumentalne jak i pomagajace nadac magicznych brzmien wokalom pana spiewaka rapera gitarkowego syntezysty bonjowego grajka Kida, misz masz stylow, ktory pomogla przyrzadzic banda twisted brown trucker, adekwatna nazwa jak na zespol backujacy, oraz kilku muzykow sesyjnych, ale jednak najgorsza czescia albumu jest sama persona jaka kreuje Rock, czyli wspomnianego redneckowego pimpa gangstera ruchacza oddanego rodzinie i znajomym bedacego samemu sobie bogiem a jednoczesnie pokornym sluga pana niebieskiego zyjacego na spokojnie uprawiajac swoje namietnosci i skazy zapomnialbym dodac ze bialego, samym opowiadaniem jaka jest ta albumowa persona moza podsumowac kontent liryczny, bo najprosciej jest to album Kida Rocka o Kidzie Rocku, dawno nie czulem sie tak zbambuzlowany jak po tym odsluchu, zrabowany na 70 minut przez jednorekiego bandyte w kapeluszu i przebraniu murzyna, a pan nadal tworzy i splodzil 11 albumow studyjnych, przy czym dzisiejszy diabel jest czwartym w kolejnosci, na dodam na rapowa plejke tytulowy traczek zeby miec jakas pamiatke po tej plycie, ktora mozna straszyc biedne murzyniatka jak bialy czlowiek moze zrabowac kulture innych ludow i sprzedac ja targetowi ktory nienawidzi orginalnego posiadacza tej kultury

Turdiest turd of all the turds I've listened. Even with autotune!

no.

Life's too short for this foolishness. Next.

Why is this on this list

bad

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

What the fuck is this shit doing on here

Ääe det var inte bra. En mix av rap och metal blandat med lite country. Ingen överraskning att det låter spretigt och är all over the place. För många dåliga genres och stilar som verkligen inte ska behöva mixas. Rappen är inte heller bra, mest cringe. Eller vad sägs om dessa rader från Welcome 2 the Party: "Cause I'm a player that you love to hate Got your girl suckin' dick on video tape I like pussy, suckin' on titties Fucked a lot of different bitches from a bunch of different cities" Inte ens en Eminemfeature i Fuck Off kan rädda albumet. För dåligt. I like pussy, suckin' on titties. Bästa låt: Bawitdaba, ändå en taggad öppningslåt. Och den får mig att tänka på Cobrastyle.

Trash. Cowboy is cool. That's about it. Only reason it gets a 1 is because I can't give it a zero

Can definitely die happily without ever having listened to this shite.

0.8 - The soundtrack to Trump's American Idiocracy - angry, dim, "deplorable." Busting with swagger and confidence backed with the intellectual heft of a book of word searches. The only positive thing I can say about this utter dreck is that at least "Only God Knows Why" shows one rare moment of humanity, though even this song is bloated and sounds ham-fisted with its auto-tuned vocals. The rest is just trash rap rhymes, reminiscent of the weakest old school hip hop but without any of the joy.

Not sure why this was under heavy metal/hard rock. Not really my thing, not really into the sound or the lyrics

God this was bad. Some albums are boring, this one is just offensively shit. Couldn't make it past the first 3 tracks

No idea why this is on the list

Came into this with the absolute lowest expectations and was not disappointed. I have absolutely no clue how this sold so many units, even if it was released in the late 90s. Fucking terrible beats and even worse rapping

Saved Prior: None Off Rip: None Cutting Edge: None Overall Notes: Please Donald Trump, please save me Donald Trump. Please save me Donald Trump, please, I'm asking you. Please save me. Please get Kid Rock away from me. In dear God's name stop these people from making music. (except All Summer Long he ate that one up ngl)

It was all right and a bit amusing but it is an album I'd never download or listen to again, he's cool though.. the hair, the swagger but the tunes did not really inspire me.

I'm surprised this is on this list. It could only be considered good by those who think "walk this way" was the top achievement in hiphop. It was irrelevant when it came out and is more so now

Fuck Kid Rock. 0 stars if I could.

This is the suck

2/10. This album sucks lmao and fuck Kid Rock

If Poochie with tourettes made an album. If you have ears you shouldn't waste your time. The inclusion of this album in the list must've been a joke. Best tracks: Batwitdaba, Cowboy, Devil Without a Cause

.

Rating purely out of principle because you won’t catch me listening to kid rock any time soon
