    great album from the bluesy opener rock n roll pain train to the tearjerker single father.continuing were cocky left off on songs like picture and midnight train to memphis kid stays on the outlaw country road sprinkled with some southern boogie and only a few traces of rap best trks r the zz top flaovered son of detroit and the rolling stones flavored rock n roll 1 of the greatest songs to come out in a long time… Collapse

    I love every song on this album. It seems more emotional on some songs. Couple of them made me cry the first time I heard them! The jammin songs kick ass! Everyone should hear it!

    I'm all for artists maturing, especially when the artist is maturing from crap, but Kid Rock is about as transparent and bloated as his Pammy's big fake boobs.

    A musically maturing Rock demonstrates his writing and vocal skills, while continuing to rock on as the Pimp of the Nation.

    This album is #$%&* awesome!! I liked Kid even back in the straight-up hip-hop days but hip-hop has become a boring cliche these days. Time to rock out again!

    The lyrics to his songs are as real as the Kid hisself, he put his heart into this one! I think the long hair redneck rock n roll son of Detroit is the Greatest!!!. He does Bad Co. Proud. Your Great Black Bob!!! Love Helen

    With this kind of self-pity, Kid Rock was better off staying shallow. [Jan 2004, p.110]
  2. Rolling Stone

    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.

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