Cougar Cry Music Review
Kid Rock Devil Without A Cause
“Kid Rock is a rapper from the Detroit area who's been doing his thing and running his
own Top Dog record label since the late '80s. He was pretty obscure until Grand Royal
profiled him a couple of issues back, and he eventually wrote some blurbs for Mike D.
and the gang for their notorious ‘Miami Bass” issue. His association with the Beasties
must have done wonders for his career, because here he is in '98 making his major label
debut.”
Mark Richard-San
I gave this record bonus points for having a photograph of the Kid's hand giving the world the finger painted on the
disc itself Something about the way Kid Rock was brave enough, crazy enough to flip the viewer off when you
open the cover is just plain cool —it's hard to explain. I bumped the record up a few more notches for the track fea
turing the diminutive Joe C. There's some sort of perverse thrill in knowing that he's less than four feet tall and can
rap with best of them.
'The cool thing about this album is that Devil Without A Cause combines rap with metal, something that seems to be
a new trend in this reviewer’s eyes. So if you need that rapping lyrics, but with a metal beat with third tier, grunge
derived choruses among your records then don’t miss out on this one!!
Rating: B Above Average, a must buy
Motley Crue Dr. Feelgood
Other than the Crue’s 2 greatest hits compilations, this is the only essential album in
their catalog: one of the Great Rock and Roll/Heavy Metal albums of the late 80’s.
This album features no less than 5 of the bands best known hits, with the standout be
ing the title track. However the lesser known tracks are worth the listen. It would be
near to impossible to find the Elektra version, but they have reissued the album, with
several bonus tracks.
