5.0 out of 5 stars A hidden masterpiece, June 10, 2003

I first heard Hot Action Cop on the end of the "Real Cancun" movie when they showed a clip of them playing. I had never heard of them prior to this, and I doubt a lot of people have ever heard of them, hence the title of my review. Anyways, I thought "Fever for the Flava" was a real good song, very catchy and pretty different, so I decided to check out the rest of the cd. As I listened I found every song to be different from the song before or after it, yet just similar enough so you could tell it was the band playing. They have a sound all their own, with quite the large influence of Red Hot Chili Peppers. Also you'll notice through some songs (Doom Boom, Show Her etc.) that Rob does a Shaggy-like impression which adds to the songs. They are a talented band and are worth a listen. Lyrics are also very good and well crafted, although they may be a bit too raunchy for some people. I wouldn't recommend the edited version however, because it really takes away from a lot of the songs. Overall this CD is very solid, w/ my favorite songs being: Doom Boom, Fever For The Flava, Why Judy, Busted and In A Little While. Get this CD if you want a good one to throw in your car stereo and just cruise.

There are simply too many people out there that take music way to serious and there are those who want to lump everybody into a certain category. I'm a person that likes music that is just pain out FUN! Yea, HAC is a little bit Rap Rock...but there are so many other influences that you can hear such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fishbone, Porn music (yea the album is a little dirty), etc. I don't think Limp Bizket or Linkin Park at all when i listen to these guys. They are their own band.

This album is not one that your kids will study in their music appreciation class but I bet they will still be able to groove to it. So i give it 5 starts because when i'm driving its a great album to put the windows down and turn the stereo up.

I first heard about these guys when I heard 2 of their songs (predictably enough, "Fever for the Flava" and "Goin' Down On It") on the soundtrack to EA Games' "Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2" and loved both of them. I bought that game in the fall of 2002, and was forced to remain content with only those samples of their music until this album came out March 4, 2003. Moral of the story guys: release your albums in a more timely fashion. Needless to say, I bought it promptly, and fell in love with it from the word go.
Now, I admit I'm not a huge fan of most of the stuff that's similar to this (Chili Peppers, et al), but this album really got its claws into me. I've heard a lot of people say this sort of rock is somewhat trite and dated, but I couldn't disagree more. Every song is just as memorable as the last, and each has its own unique flava (hahaha...couldn't resist). I've listened to this CD so many times I'm surprised it hasn't melted by now, and they all sound just as awesome as the first time I heard them. With so many bands these days, songs begin to blend together, but Hot Action Cop's music seems to defy this stereotype. No song of theirs could honestly be mistaken for another if you've ever actually listened to this album.
As I'm beginning to run out of awesome things to say about these guys (I'm only human), I'll bring this to a close. My final verdict is, if you've ever heard these guys before and you liked what you heard, don't hesitate; buy this album. You will not regret it. And if not, I would say go ahead and buy it anyway. Give it a chance. Chances are, this album will really grow on you.
