| Editorial Reviews:
Amazon.com 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 )

hell yeah!!! April 23, 2008 Lissa Witcher (Seattle, WA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
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 ROCK RULES January 14, 2008 S. Bailey 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought 5 copies for Christmas and passed them around - Kid Rock is the BOMB. Sweet songs and powerful songs. Funny songs and nasty songs. LOVE IT. I even bought a copy for the kids that was edited. Amazon's price was the lowest - if you purchased this through Kid Rock's website, it would have cost over $20 per copy!
I like Kid Rock, how'd that happen? December 22, 2008 Tink Kerbelle (northern Nevada) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am a 50 year old white woman and Rock & Roll Jesus has made a convert out of me. Actually, it was his duet with Sheryl Crow on "Picture" awhile ago and "All Summer Long" finalized the deal. "New Orleans" and "Blue Jeans and a Rosary" are also favorites. I always thought of this fellow Michigan boy as a long-haired, screaming, nasty, foul-mouthed white rapster. I tended towards the John Mellencamp, Bob Seger and catchy-tuned Neil Diamond-types. Now I can see how versatile Kid Rock can be. Most of the songs on this album are toe-tapping, head-nodding just plain good stuff. Give it a listen, I hear the kids like this guy, too. ;)

This CD is the best. I am definately a fan of Kid Rock's softer side.....
Great Collection! September 15, 2008 Etta (Alaska, United States) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Kid Rock just keeps getting better with time! This collection covers his wide range of talent and is not a CD that you will get tired of listening to. I bought the clean version not the explicit language version.
