    Song for song, this is better-written and harder-rocking than Cocky.

    Kid chills out here, embracing southern jams, country music and a whole lot of heart.

    Ironically, the more Rock expresses his true self, the more generic he sounds. [28 Nov 2003, p.123]

    Rock's response is to ease off the hip hop and get back to the '70s, and it works. [Apr 2004, p.114]

    It's one of the best hard-rock CDs you'll hear this year, carrying on the shitkicking tradition of Hank Williams Jr., ZZ Top, Guns n' Roses and Bad Company.
