Product Description: It's fitting that the Kid Rock revival got started when the Beastie Boys featured him in their Grand Royal magazine--and not because the kid from Detroit shares their skin tone. Rock has often been compared with the early Beasties--the boys of "Fight for Your Right to Party" and "Brass Monkey," the boys no one ever thought would grow up. With lines like "I ain't straight outta Compton, I'm straight out the trailer" and "I started an escort service--for all the right reasons," it's obvious that Kid Rock doesn't aim to follow suit. But that's no hindrance to Devil--backed by the funky metal band Twisted Brown Trucker and special guests like blues vets Robert Bradley and Thronetta Davis, Rock is hosting one hell of an interesting party. Ultimately, Rock's party is great, schlocky fun, equal parts old Beasties and Sebastian Bach--making Devil a guilty pleasure, the Starship Troopers of hip-hop. --Randy Silver

classic rap rock
this is so good for this genre of music it's no wonder why this guy is so arrogant. if you don't like this kind of music don't review it.

Classic Kid!
This is my favorite Kid CD. I prefer the rock and Cracker rap to the meaningful ballads, and these tunes are great live, too.

Definitely unique and clever
First of all, let me say...great album. I bought this and I didn't know what to expect. All I knew was that this was one of the greatest selling albums of all time (look it up, it's on there) and so I figured people must like it. And for the most part, I do also. The album kicks off with one of the best openers I've ever heard, "Bawitdaba", which is jam-packed with incredible energy that makes one say "wow!" The song sets the tone for the entire album, which is essentially Kid Rock rapping over huge rock guitars and catchy choruses. The only song that really tends to break away from this formula is "Only God Knows Why" which is a contemplative southern-rock song about the hard life on the road and a nice step away from the hard party anthems. Overall, this is a great album principally because of its unique style.
A few qualms? Yes. For one thing, it's far too vulgar. I laughed at the sheer absurdity of some of his lyrics; it's almost as if he didn't know what else to rap about so he just cussed and swore until he thought of something else to say. While being a partier and having a fun time is part of his repertoire, I thought that the female-offensive references weren't needed. I also thought that his backing band, instead of playing recycled rhythms, could have come up with some more creative ideas; I think that the musicians could have stepped up and been a more prominent part of the art.
This is a great album. It's certainly not perfect and I thought it lacked in a few areas, but I had a blast listening to the beats and the rhymes and you will as well. Buy it because it won't sound like anything else you own, and you will be amazed by the cleverness of the overall sound.
