"FUN LOVIN CRIMINALS is a group that is underrated, especaily in the US. They have a total of 3 albums(not including the remix album MIMOSA). (...) When i listen to theyre songs i just go with the flow. FLC mix rap/rock or whatever is out there and come up with stronge and beautiful tracks while at the same time keeping a style which they can call theyre own. JUST LISTEN TO ONE OF THEYRE ALBUMS AND YOU'LL UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN. MY favourite 11 tracks from LOCO:
1-SWASHBUCKLIN IN BROOKLYN
2-KILL THE BAD GUY(not listed, just wait a little after the final track)
3-RUN DADDY RUN
4-LOCO
5-THE BIZ
6-BUMP
7-MICROPHONE FIEND
8-MY SIN
9-HALF A BLOCK
10-THERE WAS A TIME
11-SHE'S MY FRIEND
To the USA: STOP IGNORING GREAT TALENTS"

I think that the nature of this group is hit-or-miss....

"I was surprised when I saw that this album was out that it was out and that I'd never heard of it.... Having heard that it existed, I had to go out and buy it....Having done that, I have to agree with the other reviewers here that this group is very hit-or-miss. A few songs on this track are as good as ANY they have done-- the cover of 'Microphone Fiend' by Eric B. & Rakim being one of their best yet. However, there are other songs that don't jive with me, most notably the first track on this album.... I don't know that there is anything wrong with that. Most of their albums are like that: you like 80% of their stuff and think that the rest is trash; different listeners disagree on what is good and what is bad. Fans of the band are going to still buy this album: it's about the best kinda lay around and just listen music there is. It's someplace-- a very agreeable place-- to sit and listen to the words... cause there ain't too much more like this....."

FLC fans must buy this record!

"Okay, it's only available as an import right now... I paid extra for Mimosa and I have to admit I regret it. But the boys are back in full force on this one... once again doing it all. This thing is all rock, hip-hop, and schmoove, baby.After a few listens, here are my favourites: Half a Block, She's my Friend, and Bump will at least put a grin on your face... guaranteed."
