  • Summary: The sixth album for the Detroit rocker is more party-rock than rap-metal, although some hip-hop elements are retained from previous outings. Included is a cover of "Feel Like Makin' Love."

  1. Song for song, this is better-written and harder-rocking than Cocky.
  2. 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.

    With this kind of self-pity, Kid Rock was better off staying shallow. [Jan 2004, p.110]
  4. Over-sentimental country-rock posing, limp rapping, and turgid AOR classic rock are only where this young man gets started.

    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. Expand
