Rock n Roll Jesus(more) »rank: 80by: Kid Rock
Our review: :Rock Is Back. After 22 million records sold in the US and a three year hiatus, Kid Rock is back with the brand new album 'Rock N Roll Jesus'. Kid Rock hustled in the Detroit underground for over ten years before he burst into the mainstream in 1999 with the timeless rock anthem 'Bawitdaba.' Other hits like 'Cowboy' and 'American Bad A**' followed while ballads like his 'Picture' duet with Sheryl Crow and 'Only God Knows Why' helped to propel him forward as one of the greatest artists of our time. His latest offering Rock N Roll Jesus is no exception, running the ... Detail |
Rage Against the Machine(more) »rank: 495by: Rage Against the Machine
Our review:Album Description:Digipak reissue of 1992 album. 2001. :Not since the days of the Clash and the MC5 has rock seen such political force as in the uncompromising debut from this L.A. quartet. Expanding the hip-hop/metal style of bands such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage tap the spirits of vintage Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, coupled with hardcore punk intensity and Public Enemy-style grooves. 'Bombtrack' opens the LP with a shot of adrenaline and singer Zack de la Rocha's infuriated chorus of 'Burn, burn, yes, you're gonna burn!' The intensity doesn't let up an inch on the militant 'Killing in the Name' ... Detail |

Make Yourself(more) »rank: 883by: Incubus
Our review:Album Description:Includes an enhanced component. :Young, aggro, and from Los Angeles--it's tempting to put Incubus in the already crowded category populated by Korn, System of a Down, and their other loud and heavy brethren. But that would sell Incubus short, because Make Yourself, the quintet's sophomore album, is a strong progression beyond their 1997 debut, S.C.I.E.N.C.E.. More like Faith No More than Limp Bizkit, Incubus still have that teen-mosh appeal, though the songwriting and instrumentation on Make Yourself is diverse and thoughtful, both lyrically and musically. 'Drive' is an easygoing, slightly trippy acoustic-based outing, while oddball scratching (courtesy of DJ Chris Kilmore) and ... Detail |

Meteora(more) »rank: 834by: Linkin Park
Our review:Album Description:2003 follow-up to the eight-times-platinum in the US debut, Hybrid Theory, promises to be one of the biggest albums of the year. Enhanced CD packaged in a digipak. WB. :Linkin Park’s second studio effort (not counting the 2002 remix album Reanimation) overflows with glossy production values and Big Rock oomph, fully embracing the pop instincts of their Hybrid Theory debut. For many, Theory sounded inexcusably corporate, from its too-timely rap-rock sound to the long list of product endorsements included in the liner notes. Meteora will only amplify those complaints, but this album is actually truer to the band’s nature. It’s still impossible ... Detail |
Devil Without a Cause(more) »rank: 870by: Kid Rock
Our review: :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 ... Detail |

Rock N Roll Jesus(more) »rank: 1009by: Kid Rock
Our review: :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 ... Detail |
Cocky(more) »rank: 1499by: Kid Rock
Our review: :Detroit-bred rocker/rapper Kid Rock has reason to be 'cocky,' as 1998's multiplatinum Devil Without a Cause established the multifaceted artist with the Southern rock influences as a generally likable braggart able to back up his boasts musically. Rock's Twisted Brown Trucker backup band also spawned a successful solo career for DJ Uncle Kracker, who wrote songs for--but whose turntables aren't on--Cocky. With a little help from fab friends, including actor David Spade, and musicians Sheryl Crow and Snoop Dogg, Cocky covers a mélange of styles, from rap to country, utilizing organ, pedal steel, and harp as well as metallic guitar solos. Ultimately, though, ... Detail |
