ROTH AND ROLL

Review Score: (6/10)
Okay I am going to lay the cards fairly square on the table I don't see the Roth era band and the recently re patched Hagar era as one and the same band in any form or fashion. I wish they had different names. How can they be described as the same? From the punky vocals and sheer teenage rebellion of the Roth era with the jaw dropping goose bump producing guitar work compared to the tired non emotive Hagar synth overwashed drudgery since 5150. All this collection makes me think to do is to go out and buy everyting from 1984 back. Avoid and wait for the real gang buster tour that everyone deserves and a new album featuring the better line up. Alternatively you could buy this collection like I did and keep pressing the next button whilst driving the car hoping you hit the "better" songs.
