Picture
With his eigth studio album, Kid Rock is one of the most prolific recording artists of our time. This is an artist who really shows his personal evolution through his work. His first four albums were mostly about drugs, sex and an overall nefarious lifestyle. He's really grown as a person and it shows in his music, now consisting of more mature themes like personal freedom, family, patriotism, and taking advantage of life. This album continues down the path he's been following, really since his self-titled 2003 release. There's always been a great amount of heart and character in his music, but he's really come into his own in an artistic sense. He's seasoned and it shows. The lyrics here are so broad in nature, but perhaps most enjoyable are the memories he sings of, and how he conveys them in such a nostalgic, bittersweet fashion. A miliionaire many times over, he still embodies that Detroit work ethic. Kid Rock is beginning to express views and themes that can only be appreciated by those who have struggled in some sense. He's gained a lot of substance and soul, and it is prevalent on this album, perhaps more than any album prior...and with cameos from T.I., Martina McBride, Sheryl Crow, and Bob Seger, this may be his best work yet.

"... this may be his best work yet."

I believe that is known as "damning with faint praise."
