RULES, IT can safely be said, are rules and as such must be followed to the letter. Example? You are in a Noo Yawk rock/rap combo. Rules? You must cultivate a goatee, nod your head in an earnest fashion and shoot your video in an appropriately ethnic bar with lots of your goatee-sporting, earnest-nodding chums. What you most definitely do not do is profess admiration for Lynyrd Skynyrd, ditch metal riffs for funk licks and never ever do you sound like you're having a good time. You do not, in other words, record 'Come Find Yourself'. And, with two blunt-stained fingers hoisted in the direction of The Man, Fun Lovin' Criminals have done that very thing. Where there should be grimaces, there are grins. Where there should be realism, there is surrealism. And where there should be an album of heard-it-all-before House Of Pain bollocks, there is Huey, Fast, and, erm, Steve, shooting out increasingly bizarre shades of nonsense and generally not giving a f?? about those aforementioned rules. And thus the rulebook according to the Crims. First, play your own instruments. The odd sample aside, 'Come Find Yourself' comes live and direct from the fretboard. And the trumpet and the harmonica and, yes, that does sound boring as hell but, as the honey-buttered soul of 'Methadonia' drips off the stylus, punk rock theory can be told to sod right off. This stuff is smooth. Next rule, as the similarly funked-up Digital Underground once had it, say what you like. Huey might have his gangsta leanings - De Niro namechecks and the requisite "brother Paulie" - but underneath is jazz cigarette madness. Injected with Pulp Fiction samples and a chorus from the gods, 'Scooby Snacks' narrates a bank heist rather unwisely attempted by the Crims while off their faces on hallucinogenic dog biscuits... Verily this is not an Ice-T album. And that last rule? Mix and match all of the above, carve out a lazy-assed album that's as blissfully screwed up as it is listenable but most of all, be Kool. And, of course, The Gang. (New Musical Express, June 29, 1996)

In some circles, the Fun Lovin' Criminals were touted as the heir apparent to the Beastie Boys. There were two problems, however, with this contention: the Beastie Boys weren't going away, and the Fun Lovin' Criminals certainly were not pushing anybody with this major-label debut. Aside from the radio hit "Scooby Snacks," nothing on the album had anywhere near enough staying power to distinguish the Criminals as anything more than a run-of-the-mill one-hit wonder. While the music of the Beastie Boys is eclectic, dynamic and laden with amusing pop-culture references, the music of the Fun Lovin' Criminals is predictable, unimaginative, and downright boring for the most part. While the band attempted to mix in some elements of the Beastie Boys and also tried to cash in on the same fusion of rock, rap, and punk, the results were decidedly inferior. David M. Childers (All Music Guide)

If Quentin Tarantino were to be in a hip-hop group, that group would definitely be the Fun Lovin' Criminals. Heck, the Fun Lovin' Criminals even sample some outstanding Tarantino dialog from "Resevior Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction" on the groovin' song, "Scooby Snacks". However, the Fun Lovin' Criminals are not your run of the mill hip- hop act. THESE GUYS PLAY THEIR OWN INTRUMENTS! The streamlined style, unhindered by over-production and over-sampling, really makes for one really refreshing album. The Fun Lovin' Criminals come accross like a strange hybrid of Beck-like music with House of Pain-style vocals. Their sound is so simple, but so good. By using jazz, blues, funk, lounge, and rap elements, the Fun Lovin' Criminals sound remarkably unique, and...fun. The stuff is just fully infectious. Some of the best tracks on Come Find Yourself include the before mentioned "Scooby Snacks", "The Fun Lovin' Criminal", "Smoke `Em", "King of New York", "Bombin' the L", and "Bear Hug". You just can't help movin' to these extremely slick tracks. Come Find Yourself is a real pleasant surprise.  Jack Harrum (SpinalColumn)
