MORE established rock stars living it too easy - what's going on?
To be fair to messrs Roach, this is not quite Pop Idol standard but for unexceptional middle-of-the-roadness, see their latest release.
The Roachsters are one of several bands in the Alien Ant Farm pseudo rock stable and have had their moments to date, but lovehatetragedy is more Limp than Biskit.
The 11 tracks are rewarding enough but Rage Against The Machine were doing this 10 years ago - this is only a must-buy for the diehard fans and little more than background music for the rest of us (think dinner party with teeth)!
The highlights are Born With Nothing, Die With Everything and Black Clouds.
The rest just blurs into a continuous guitar-strewn hum.
Listeners will be congratulated if they haven't nipped out to put the footie on by the time the two bonus tracks on this Limited Edition Enhanced CD roll along.
Save your cash and make a band who are undoubtedly talented work harder for a living.
