Product Description: Kid Rock maintains a remarkable propensity for wearing his contradictions on his sleeve, and more than anything he's previously released, Rock n Roll Jesus finds fuel in unresolved opposites. Is he a hard-core chauvinist ("Half Your Age") or a would-be gentlemen ("When U Love Someone")? Is he a God-fearing everyman ("Blue Jeans and a Rosary") or a bohemian hero ("So Hott")? These questions are nothing new, even if the album at hand takes them to freshly delirious extremes. Ever since he first began shedding his rap/rock posture to be the next Ted Nugent, Kid Rock has constructed his public persona out of full-frontal ambivalence: race, class, sex, religion, money, whatever it takes. This album's bookends--the title song and "bonus" track, "Lowlife (Living the Highlife)"--demonstrate all this irreconcilable nonsense in no uncertain terms, but all his polar wobbling is at least stabilized by a firm commitment to southern-styled rock, tinged at times with gospel, blues, a lingering need to rap ("Sugar"), and a rare, soul-fed instrumental jambalaya ("New Orleans"). In the end, Kid Rock may be a remarkable self-promoter, but a musical Messiah he is not. --Jason Kirk People en Español
Pareciera que Kid Rock está madurando, en Rock and Roll Jesus ha dejado atrás al típico rockero que se conformaba con escandalizar, y se ha atrevido a navegar las aguas de otros géneros como el country y el blues en canciones como "New Orleans" y "All Summer Rock," además Rock se ha olvidado del hip-hop, hoy denuncia la muerte absurda de soldados en Irak y el racismo. Pero no crea que el músico se ha convertido precisamente en un santo, el disco incluye canciones poderosas como "So Hutt" que es puro rock o "Half Your Age" en la que no es secreto que vuelca todas sus frustraciones por haber perdido a Pamela Anderson. En la canción él dice que ahora tiene una chica más joven y más hot. En suma Rock and Roll Jesus es un material mucho más maduro, pero si quiere escuchar al Kid Rock escandaloso y despreocupado de antes quizá no sea buena idea comprarlo. Por el contrario si le gusta el hard rock de los años 70 y el country, este es un álbum que le gustará. --Ernesto Sánchez (People en Español  )

Customer Reviews
Kid Rock ROCKS!!
Good cd, glad I bought it, not like some only one or two songs are worth listening to, Iam not crazy with his slow stuff, but the rest of it is good.

Introspective Kid Doesn't Quite Deliver
As Kid Rock quips on the album, he's 36 years old and still having fun. Glad to hear it. I've been a fan of the Kid and his creative fusion of rock and hip hop from the early days. On this effort, however, many of the songs sound contrived - or maybe I'm just uncomfortable with Kid Rock getting serious on topics like religion and war (e.g., Amen). 'So Hott' has a dirty guitar groove and unforgettable opening lyric - yet gets spoiled by the unnecessary f-bomb in the chorus. 'Sugar' sounds like the re-hash of the formula used on 'Cowboy' and just doesn't deliver.
My favorite song is 'All Summer Long," which is has a feelgood vibe and Sweet Home Alabama sample. 'When You Love Someone' is also a nice song on the softer side.
Overall, this album will appeal more to fans of southern rock than to those craving in-your-face party jams.

hell yeah!!!
Kid is not my all-time fav artist, but he's climbing my charts. I've heard his other hits and that drove me to buy this album for my spouse who has historically been a fan. We have listened to it almost non-stop ever since. He is a little of all things, and quite certainly unpredictable. I love that about him, and this album.
It isn't too hard core rap; it is good, ol' fashioned rock-n-roll, Kid style.
I freggin' love it!!

Kid Pop
What a wet lettuce this turned out to be. After the glorious power of the metal rap and hip hop on his earlier CDs, this is a collection of country and western, and soft pop rock that wouldn't look out of place on a Foreigner album. Hugely disappointing. Get back in the groove Kid Rock. I'll cetainly take a listen before I commit my cash again.

Another great Kid Rock album!
Kid Rock once again shows how diversified his music can be. He has been slowly transitioning into this "Southern Rock" singer for some time now and I think it is complete. Some of the songs are a bit "POPpy", but I enjoy just about everything on it.
