History Of Rock, The [PA] - Kid Rock

Advantages: Great music by the Twisted Brown Truckers and vocals from Kid Rock
Disadvantages: to much swearing

...the last laugh with The History of Rock. Loaded with 14 tracks that stretch all the way back to Kid Rock's not-so-humble beginnings as a flat-topped MC, the album provides hard evidence that the dynamite punch of 1998's Devil without a Cause album was no fluke. Such songs as the incendiary "My Oedipus Complex" and "Abortion," a blunted guitar epic, would sit easily in-between "Bawitdaba" and "Only God Knows Why." After all, Rock has been making ...
...such disparate genres as hip-hop, speed metal, and country with the singular aim of self-satisfaction and coming up with a surprisingly original sound in the process. On the new track "American Bad Ass," he gives us everything he's got just to get that point across. the people involved on this album are as follows: Kid Rock - Vocals/scratching Jimmy Bones : Keyboards, Vocals Michael Bradford : Bass Stefanie Eulinberg : Drums, Vocals Jason Krause ...

Advantages: Kid Rock, say no more
Disadvantages: As if there'd be any. May not be everyone's "Cup of Tea"

...hick hop. 'The History Of Rock' is a compilation of highlights from Kid Rock's early career, with a few new tracks bunged in for good measure. In terms of tracing a pattern of musical development, the material from the 1992 album 'The Polyfuze Method' ('Three Sheets To The Wind', 'Prodigal Son') is almost punk in its raw anger and bitter conceit whilst the tracks included from 1996's 'Early Morning Stoned Pimp' paint an altogether more mellow picture. ...
...truth Kid Rock's sound rarely deviates from the explosive metal guitar rap synthesis he has made his trade mark. Lyrically this album is similarly one dimensional, with all the mandatory 'ho's, bitches, guns, self reverence and accusations of improper mother to son relationships that one would expect. One song even contains the lyric 'West Side', which of course is a term afforded extra cultural relevance in a post Ali G United Kingdom. It is when ... Read review

Advantages: Veeeery Kool
Disadvantages: some songs are outdated

Kid Rocks new album, could be said as an old album. It has all the modern hits such as Early Mornin' Stoned Pimp and American Badass, but is mixed in the same album with the classics such as Fuck that and Prodigal son. This album contains all of Kid Rocks hits over the years all the way back to the early eighties. If you enjoyed Devil with out a cause, then this is the album for you. At the start of most songs it has a little guide to tell you what ... Read review

Advantages: Awsome Album
Disadvantages: How about...........none!

...how wrong I was............ History Of Rock by Kid Rock is half new album half compilation, as a matter of fact it only has two new songs and one that's never benn releases, the rest is most of Kid's better stuff from the past albums like Polyfuse Method and Early Mornin Stoned Pimp, the album is a high standard of Kid's usual hip hop and rock combination, the whole idea of this album is to tell the story of his life in the methods of rapping and ...
...Cause and the new awsome History Of Rock under his belt, I think the only doubts now are if a new album could be on the way, there might be a final compilation or a new one then a final compilation, but wether it happens or not, kid rock is da man and there is nothing the the world can do about it! ...

Advantages: Kid Rock's Best Album To Date!
Disadvantages: You Either Love Him or Hate Him!

...the intro has some bad language within. However, if you dont mind foul language then you shouldn't have a problem with this album. But please be aware.....You Have Been Warned!!! Even though the album maybe slightly over priced at currently £11.99 History of Rock is a pretty good album. ... Read review
