Someone please arrest this band

Sex, drugs and more sex: Hot Action Cop's schtick gets old after about thirty seconds. While some genres improve over time as artists try to do more with it, rap-rock doesn't, as each new artist is consistently worse. Hot Action Cop's sound is stolen straight from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, with simpler, heavier guitars and no bass talent whatsoever. There's no mistaking the similarities between "Fever for the flava" and RHCP's "Give it away."\nVulgarity has its place in popular music, but this über-macho got-to-get-the- "coochie" attitude is mildly disturbing. From the beginning to the end, frontman Rob Werthner's degrading lyrics are a giant step back into the stone age of rock, except back then there were better drummers. \nWith a few ballads mixed in, are listeners supposed to take this band seriously? Maybe not, but it lacks the light-hearted nature of a Bloodhound Gang album. When Werthner stretches for the high notes, he sounds like he's really trying, but fails miserably, as does the rest of this album.
