It might not make for a great listen, but its swagger and white-trash style make it the second-best record in his catalog.
-
Rock affirms that he is no overnight sensation...
-
Perhaps what makes The History of Rock most interesting -- and what ultimately validates Kid Rock as the real deal -- is that these old tracks prove that his love affair with rap and rock wasn't something he just cooked up to weasel onto MTV's "TRL."
-
There are few surprises here: white trash raps hollered over a musical backdrop that sounds like an evil pub rock band.
-
Kid Rock's sound rarely deviates from the explosive metal guitar rap synthesis he has made his trade mark...It is when Kid Rock strays from these familiar musical pastures that he gets into trouble, as in the case of 'Abortion', a rather pathetic attempt at soul...
-
The History of Rock is proof that he's always been able to smell a good line from a mile away.
-
Is The History Of Rock the worst album of all time? In a word: Probably. I suppose I can’t say for sure, as I haven’t heard Kid Rock’s other records.
