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.

Judge It By Its Cover, March 10, 2003
Nice Cover. And several nice songs on this title. I've really liked "Fever for the Flava" and "Goin' Down On It" for months when they were used in the PlayStation's newest Need for Speed game. And having waited so long for the actual CD to be released, I guess I'm pretty happy with the down-and-DIRTY versions of the music.I just wished the lyrics were obtainable from somewhere.

Dig a little deeper, April 22, 2005
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.
