Free Music Notes for Rock n Roll JesusFree Music Review: a great CD for anyone's collection Hit: 5 StarsThis is a great CD. I bought it only for the song "all summer long", but it is such a great CD I am going to see Kid Rock in concert. Just be careful it is not for children.
Free Music Review: awsome cd Hit: 4 Starsthis is an awesome cd from one of the best rock artist out their right now. totally recomend this album if you like kid rock.
Free Music Review: Do you like Trash? Hit: 1 StarsIf there was ever any doubt about what a worthless, wannabe punk Kid Rock really is, this album removes it.
Sampling is one thing. Grossly ripping off an entire Intro from the great Warren Zevon, and bolting it on as the Intro to your own song is horrifying. Mr. Rock should not even be in the same sentence as Warren.
This album is a product of a dying industry run by 'record execs' who now rather than promoting thought provoking artists and their music put out trashy slop like this and pander to the lowest elements of the population. It is especially appalling when you think about the thousands of highly promising bands and musicians who will have to go back to working at Starbucks and restaurants while KR gets commercial airplay.
Mr. Rock has a hat and an unattractive goatee and that's about it. Now that he's had a dalliance with Pamela Anderson, and acquired a few bucks, I presume his motivation is running low so he's stealing from artists who actually had some talent.
If you think these are harsh words, consider this: NO ONE will be 'sampling' anything from a KR album 25 years from now.
Free Music Review: Excellent Hit: 5 StarsSurprised by this purchase. I bought it because I liked "All Summer Long " , and the rest of the album is great , I also love "Rollercoaster".
Free Music Review: Good Trashy Fun Hit: 4 StarsThis is actually my first Kid Rock CD. It is definitely a guilty pleasure. What pushed me to buy it was a TV performance and I suddenly realized that wow, this guy can actually sing.
One gets a sense that Mr. Rock is trying to branch out and become relavent, and some of that is hit and miss. The lyrics to "Amen" are a little cliched and his "soft sensitive" side sounds a little forced. As he explores more "mature" themes, some of the lyrics are left wanting.
Standout tracks for me at least are the title track "Rock and Roll Jesus," as well as "Amen," and "Lowlife." Expletives abound thoughout the album, and are a but overboard at times, expecially on "Sugar" which approaches inane proportions, but the playing is tight and the some of these more profane tracks are intrigueing musically.
Perhaps what best sums up the album is the track "Guilty," in which he talks about how he took his "15 minutes" and made it last ten years, and he's having fun and isn't going to complain about his life. I get tired of whiney rock stars, and with Kid Rock, you can be sure he is having a good time.
This CD is trashy, profane, loud with bizarre excursions into country, and very good.
