Editorial 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 Twisted Brown Trucker and special guests like blues vets Robert Bradley and Thronetta Davis, Rock is hosting one hell of an interesting party. Ultimately, Rock's party is great, schlocky fun, equal parts old Beasties and Sebastian Bach--making Devil a guilty pleasure, the Starship Troopers of hip-hop. --Randy Silver
Devil Without a Cause Reviews:
Rap and Metal can be a workable concept 
2009-08-28 - It's a proven fact that Rap and Metal can mix together in perfect harmony. I mean where do I stop?: The Beastie Boys, Anthrax, Biohazard with Oynx, and Rage Against The Machine. These are the founding fathers of Rap and Metal, so it's possible to do, but this was pathetic. Not saying all the songs were bad, but alot of them were. "Batiwada" was o.k, "I Am The Bullgod" is the first song I heard from Kid Rock, so it's the best, and "Someone's Gotta Feel This" was also good, but the rest is enough to make me want to throw up. I don't know what could've been done to save this disc, but it's too late now. However, Kid Rock does show enough talent to actually sing a song without the jigga-jigga-scratch, and that's on "Only God Knows Why". It's a shame that I hate that song, but I'll give him credit that he actually did it. I guess I can identify with Kid Rock in one way we're both single fathers, and we need to go out, and work for a living to provide for our children, but this was a stupid debut. I don't know if he get's any better, or not I will have to play the rest of his albums. He does prove he can sing with the song "Picture", so maybe there's hope. Let's just forget about this one, and chalk it up to getting it out of his system.
No Talent Scum Waffle
2009-06-01 - It's not my opinion, it's a fact. If you like Kid Rock, you've never had any formal musical training and you probably live in a trailer. You have a t-shirt with 3 wolves on it and you're 17 years old and have two kids. You didn't go to college or you dropped out of Junior College after just two weeks. Hey, what the heck, if it inspires you to stop hitting your old lady, get off the couch and do somthing, then maybe it's all good.
Stay away!
2008-11-23 - The album is enjoyable, what you can hear of it. The album is editted for radio and ruins the whole effect. In the description it was marked as explicit lyrics. Nowhere was there any indication it was editted.
I would give the work by Kid Rock, 3.5 or 4 stars, however I am dissapointed in Amazon and thus the 1-star rating.
Devil Without a Cause 
2008-11-04 - This is probably the best CD of all time, and is definantly Kid Rock's best CD. It starts off on a bangin' song, and the album in general never lets us down, even though some songs like song #7 weren't as good. It is a shame Kid Rock decided to change his style.
Kid Rock's Devil
2008-10-06 - this cd shows how good kid rock is. he is a white rapper who doesnt think he's black. he's the real deal. he walks around with his long oily hair looking like himself and is an excellent old school rapper. "punk rock mixed with hip hop"
