    Possibly the worst follow up to a 10 million selling album ever. Completely and utterly uncreative.

    This is pretty good and bad. but the good out ratio the bad. The best songs are his southern-rock songs like picture, mempis, and mother F*** like me.

    While he boasts none of the verbal dexterity of Eminem, he takes America's Dumb & Dumber obsession and has mighty fun with it. [Jan 2002, p.102]

    Kid Rock's tear-down-the-walls ideal of a world where rappers can sip whiskey with rednecks is a compelling fiction, and if the cross-pollinated musical results aren't always as exciting as the conversation no doubt would be, you have to at least admire the breadth of his vision.
