Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock

The reviews seem to be split between people giving it one because they don't like it, people giving it one in part because they don't like him and 5s because they think it is ok but like him. Firstly, I'm British and my only experience of Kid Rock is "All Summer Long" which is a sampled song and is ok. This album at best is cringey. The lyrics are horrendous and like teenager would do in their bedroom. He seems to try and replicate lots of different artists but does it really badly. There are also loads of samples from lots of better songs. I went in with an open mind, but it was hard work and thoroughly dislikeable, I suppose in some respect, like him.
