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 Espanol
Pareciera que Kid Rock esta madurando, en Rock and Roll Jesus ha dejado atras al tipico rockero que se conformaba con escandalizar, y se ha atrevido a navegar las aguas de otros generos como el country y el blues en canciones como "New Orleans" y "All Summer Rock," ademas Rock se ha olvidado del hip-hop, hoy denuncia la muerte absurda de soldados en Irak y el racismo. Pero no crea que el musico 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 cancion el dice que ahora tiene una chica mas joven y mas hot. En suma Rock and Roll Jesus es un material mucho mas maduro, pero si quiere escuchar al Kid Rock escandaloso y despreocupado de antes quiza no sea buena idea comprarlo. Por el contrario si le gusta el hard rock de los anos 70 y el country, este es un album que le gustara. --Ernesto Sanchez (People en Espanol  )

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 gamut from hard rock to hip-hop to country and soul. Of the album, which Rock co-produced with Rob Cavallo (Green Day, Goo Goo Dolls, My Chemical Romance), he says: "I am proud of every single song on this record. It works from start to finish."

 Rock 'n Roll White Trash, but in a good way August 26, 2008

This is the best of any Kid Rock cd I've bought. Ok, it's a little bit more on the "religious" side - if you can use the words "religion" and "Kid Rock" in the same sentence and not have a lightning bolt strike you dead. There are about 3 songs that are the reason the "Explicit Lyrics" sticker is on it. Only 1 almost made my ears bleed, but this ain't Helen Reddy. Another plus (or minus depending on how much you like Kid Rock) you can make out almost 100% of the words.
Do I recommend it? Yes.
Awesome CD August 28, 2008

Never being a Kid Rock fan and never really listening to his music unless it was on the radio - this is a great CD. I love almost every song. Song #5 and #6 are alittle vulger and I kind of skip by those but other then that I would highly recommend this CD you'll love it!!

As you may or may not know, this album is not available in itunes. I am generally not a fan of Kid Rock's older stuff, but this album has a lot of great songs, among my favorites are Summertime, Roll On and Amen. Great album!

I really like this CD. There are a variety of music styles, some are kind of county, some rock. I don't buy much music, but I'm glad I bought this.
Best Kid Rock yet November 11, 2008

I LOVED this CD! I'm a long time Kid Rock fan and while I do enjoy most of his music, this CD is a great demonstration of his bluesie side with a lotta rock mixed in. I'm still not tired of listening to it. If you like Kid Rock, you HAVE to own this CD.
