Amazon.co.uk Review
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 gentleman ("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 stabilised 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

In the wrong category but not sure which one would suit August 16, 2008
Please, you have got to be kidding about buying this. A new form of shock-rock where the 'artist' in this case can be accused of unwarranted butchery particularly to the original 'werewolves of london' and 'sweet home alabama' that died and have had their very souls crushed in the head-on collision that is 'all summer long'. If you love rock don't buy it. If this is up your street I won't ever want your music collection.

Return to form! August 10, 2008
I was a kind of fan of Kid Rock from Cowboy and Bawitdaba, sucked in by American Badass, and a convert by Cocky. Thought his last album was a touch weaker, but more grown up. Rock N Roll Jesus however is outstanding. I have to say, I think So Hott is one of the weaker efforts despite being the most like the American Badass era. Standout tracks, and evidence of his musical maturation, are All Summer Long, Rock 'n' Roll Jesus and Lowlife. Not a bad track on there! Buy it, hear it, love it!

Can we ban this in the UK? We aren't stupid enough surely? August 3, 2008

Had the misfortune to listen to this album after a friend who doesn't have the internet asked me to buy it for them. I have a broad range of tastes from indie to hip hop, jazz, soul and some classical and this is easily the worst record I will have had the misfortune to hear in the last three years (the last time I had to listen to a Bon Jovi album)

At first me and my girlfriend were in howls of laughter at the lyrics which are truly embarassing. This would be OK if he had something musical to offer, but oh my god this is dire.

PEOPLE OF THE UK - you are not meant to be dumb burger chomping brain dead wrestling fans who like this tripe. We have no hillbillies here and don't need them. Do yourself a favour and avoid this utter S+++ in a basket

Fantastic, but a warning! July 28, 2008

This album is great, Kid Rock has been a favourite for years, and this new album does not disappoint.
Be warned if you are new to Kid Rock and are considering this on the back of 'All Summer long' playing on the radio at the moment then please be warned, this album contains some VERY strong graphic language in the lyrics of a number of songs, especially track 5!
