History Music / ThePolyfuzeMethod

* {{Sampling}}: One of the best and most artistic uses of sampling. Kid Rock constructed a lot of the album utilizing samples, including Music/SlyAndTheFamilyStone, Music/TheDoors, Music/TheSmiths, Music/TheTurtles, Music/LedZeppelin, Music/ButtholeSurfers, Music/PinkFloyd and [[https://www.whosampled.com/album/Kid-Rock/The-Polyfuze-Method/ more]]. Not to mention cartoons, movies, radio and television.
** The hook of "Balls In Your Mouth" is Creator/HowardStern saying "you want my balls in your mouth."

* PsychedelicHipHop: The album features heavy use of {{Sampling}}, lyrics about partying and tripping on various drugs (including LSD, mushrooms and 'tussin). It's very reminiscent of Music/PaulsBoutique.

** "Killin' Brain Cells" disses Music/NewKidsOnTheBlock, Music/MilliVanilli, and Music/VanillaIce through sampling. Brief portions of "You Got It (The Right Stuff)", "Girl You Know It's True", and "Ice Ice Baby" are interrupted by someone else saying "Turn off that bullshit!"

** "Killin' Brain Cells" disses Music/VanillaIce through sampling. A brief portion of "Ice Ice Baby" is interrupted by someone else saying "Turn off that bullshit!"

* AllMenArePerverts: On "Desperate-Rado", Rock is a horny cowboy who fantasizes about Annie Oakley, says that he's "got a cock like a cactus" and "if it's alive, I'll fuck it". This also applies to his [[BestialityIsASpecialKindOfPerversion sheep and horse]].

* BestialityIsASpecialKindOfPerversion:

A lot of the lyrics feature Kid Rock humorously, and profanely, discussing sex, drug and alcohol use, and partying. Pop culture, fast food and social deconstruction are other topics.

-> "I'm the best in the motherfucking Midwest, because there's no contest"
--> - "Killin' Brain Cells"

Compared to his first album, ''The Polyfuze Method'' saw better reviews from critics, and helped Kid Rock develop a following in Detroit which consisted of "white kids who listened to GangstaRap and dropped acid", and also featured a more diverse and experimental sound, drawing from PsychedelicHipHop, {{funk}}, rock, and more.

-->''Bitches, they think I'm sexist, but all I want, baby, is your '''grits for breakfast'''''

* MinisculeRocking: "Rain Check" is 1 minute and seconds, and "In So Deep" is only 2 minutes long. There are also a couple of 30 second interludes.

* CallBack:

#Rollin' on the Island 7:47 (appears on the vinyl and 1997 CD, but not the 1993 CD)

* AlterEgoActing: "My Oedipus Complex" is a song about Kid Rock's fractured relationship with his father, in which he alternates between rapping/singing as himself and rapping/singing as his dad (who is being put "on trial" for his parenting skills), and the verses are aplit between the characters of "Dad" and "Son". "Son" complains that his father projected all his stress upon him, "Dad" put down "Son's" relationship with his black girlfriend (referring to Kid Rock's real-life then-girlfriend, Kelley) and "Son" accuses "Dad" of only caring about money and having no affection towards his family. "Dad" responds that he was trying to raise his family the best he could and that he grew up poor, so he worked to put himself through college and later to provide for his family, that he always loved and cared for his son, but now he's "hated like a devil, and for why, I don't know."

A lot of the lyrics feature Kid Rock humorously, and profanely, discussing sex, drug and alcohol use, and partying. Pop culture, fast food and social deconstruction are other topics: "My Oedipus Complex" is a song about Kid Rock's fractured relationship with his father, in which he alternates between rapping as himself and rapping as his dad.

A lot of the lyrics feature Kid Rock humorously, and profanely, discussing sex, drug and alcohol use, and partying. Pop culture, fast food and social deconstruction are other topics: a verse on "Fuck U Blind" discusses a girl who wears a Music/PublicEnemy shirt as part of her image, but doesn't actually like rap, and "My Oedipus Complex" is a song about Kid Rock's fractured relationship with his father, in which he alternates between rapping as himself and rapping as his dad.

** "My Oedipus Complex" also has elements, although not as prominately featured as when the song was re-recorded for ''The History of Rock'', in what many fans consider to be the definitive and significantly better version, which had more BluesRock elements and entirely live instrumentation, whereas this version features a drum machine and more of a hip-hop style production.

* {{Bookends}}: The ''Revisited'' CD from 1997 begins and ends with the same sample of a man talking about seeing god after dropping acid.

* FaceOnTheCover: The first of his albums to do so, as ''Grits Sandwiches for Breakfast'' featured a cartoon cover, depicting Kid Rock, who then had a flat-top hairdo, being tossed out of a soul food restaurant by Music/TooShort (one of the main producers, credited for "discovering" Kid Rock). Both the 1993 and 1997 editions have different photographs of Kid Rock after he cut off his flat top. ''The Polyfuze Method Revisited'' had a more recent photo of Kid Rock, depicting him with long hair and wearing his trademark hat, looking close to how he looked in the cover of''Music/DevilWithoutACause'', which was released a year after ''Revisited'' and had a re-recorded version of "I Am the Bullgod" from this album.

''The Polyfuze Method'' is noted for its PsychedelicHipHop sound and showed the influence of psychedelic drugs, including LSD and mushrooms, on Kid Rock's music. It also makes extensive use of {{Sampling}}, as well as live instrumentation. During the recording for the song "The Cramper", Kid Rock hired a flute player to play a solo on the track. "Killing Brain Cells" features Kid Rock playing bass and electric guitar solos, and also features a harmonica solo.

''I like [[TitleDrop trippin' on acid with Dick Vitale]]!''

There were three different releases of the album, each with a different track listing. ''The Polyfuze Method Revisited'' from 1997 is the most complete of the three, containing all of the tracks from the vinyl and CD releases.

* CallBack: ''Bitches, they think I'm sexist, but all I want, baby, is your '''grits for breakfast'''''

** ''Never been questioned by the FBI, though I tried every method just to get high''

** ''[[TitleDrop Back from the Dead]], second LP, here we go''
** ''Comin' at ya from the R-O-M-E-O''

** [[WesternAnimation/BugsBunny Bugs Bunny]] Sample: "What's cookin'?"
** ''I like [[ProductPlacement bean burritos from Taco Bell]]''
** [[WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck Daffy Duck]] sample: "And that's not all!"
** ''I like [[TitleDrop trippin' on acid with Dick Vitale]]!''
