if you are a fan of groups like limp bizkit, korn, slipknot, system of a down, deftones, etc. then you should get this album! the flows are crazy, and it is really heavy at times! any fan of rap OR rock will like this album! it also features eminem before he even got famous with the song "my name is". pick it up NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guns N'Roses are gone. Led Zeppelin is history. Aerosmith has been clean for years. The Rolling Stones are living, breathing anachronisms. Rod Stewart is a pop singer. And hip hop bands don't use live bands with loud guitars. Is the modern music scene hopeless?

Nope. It's alive and dangerous. For those of us who miss loud guitars and controversial lyrics, Kid Rock has come to the rescue.

If you are a hard rock fan and can keep from banging your head during "Bawidaba," you don't have the volume loud enough. If you don't bang your head after the piano break in "Cowboy," you need to buy Pat Boone's "In a Metal Mood." If you don't sing along to the bridge in "Roving Gangster," perhaps you need to take your a** to the early-bird special at Denny's and take your geritol.

If you miss the danger of G N'R, you'll love the drug-glorifying jams of "I Am the Bullgod" and "Where You at Rock?"

While I've never been a fan of hip hop, I must say I thoroughly enjoy the drug-glamorizing, braggadoccio of Kid Rock's "Devil Without a Cause." Imagine the Beastie Boys merged with G n' R, Zeppelin, and Skynyrd and you have Kid Rock.

If you're looking for modern music with the edginess of the backporch of a house overlooking the Pacific in SoCal, this is it.

"Devil Without A Cause" is a lot better than I thought it would be. It opens up with "Bawitdaba", which is one of the best song's on the CD. My other favorites are "Devil Without A Cause", "I Am The Bullgod" and "F-ck Off". If you like rap-rock than you should get this CD.

This is Kid Rock at his best! I love this album. The whole album is bad ass.If you don't have this album PICK IT UP! i guarentee you won't be dissapointed. from his opening " MY NAME IS KIIIIIIIIIIIID ROCK!!!" of " Bawitdaba" to his LAST cut "I AM THE BULLGOD" ( the remix version, NOT #4, the orginal one) is KICK ASS!!!

there are some pretty cool tracks here, but some of them i.e. "F-ck Off" "I Got One for Ya" are just plain whack...there something missing form this album

few people are able to combine two genres together and actually sound good kid rock does it well. There is a considerable amount of problems with this disc though 1. too long 2.too many wack tracks 3.why would anybody have a kid come in too rap on their song. I otherwise enjoyed devil wothout a cause.

This CD has to be the most unintentionally hilarious thing I've ever heard. When Kid Rock makes attempts at being humorous (like on "Cowboy" or the title track) I always ask myself it that was supposed to be funny, but when he goes for maudlin sentimentality like on the updated '80s power ballad tripe of "Only God Knows Why", I burst out laughing. Kid Rock can't sing a lick, which is proven by the fact that he uses a vocoder through the whole song. The lyrics are incessant whining and sound contrived - it is Kid Rock's cry for sympathy though he doesn't need it, nor does he deserve it. Many of the songs on this album sound like a ill-conceived cross between Vanilla Ice and Poison, with the only remotely good song being "I Am The Bullgod", which rocks harder and has some engaging lyrics. The only reason why it sold so much is because MTV hyped it up as being some fantastic album - now you can find it in cutout bins everywhere. Without merits of its own, it's safe to assume that "Devil Without A Cause" would have languished in obscurity if not for MTV's support.

Excellent rock/rap album- Every song on the cd is good and its a fun cd to listen to.

Overall great rock cd worth the money/ Classic

"Kid Rock" may be feelin' his country roots recently, but this is his best rap/rock offering. Great lyrics too. You know you're getting into something sweet when the first track "Bawitdaba" kicks in. This whole disc is a great example of what can happen when mixing genres is done the right way. It's overall the best mix of rap/rock since "Fight For Your Right To Party". Other impressive tracks here are "Cowboy" and "Devil Without A Cause". Plus this has one of the best power-ballads since the hair-metal days, "Only God Knows Why". But what I like most about "Kid Rock", is that besides the skills, he's pretty down to earth, and he's not trying to be too deep, he just wants to have fun. This is a fun album.

I'm a fan from waaay back in the day. You all dont even have Kid's "Grits and Sandwiches for Breakfast" do ya?
Nah, yr not his true fans. but thats ok....
