Review: Fun Lovin’ Criminals / Come Find Yourself anniversary 6-disc box
Guest SDE reviewer Nico Pleimling reviews the collectors’ box set edition of the Fun Lovin’ Criminals’ debut…
Just over 20 years ago, on the 20th of February 1996 to be exact, the New York City trio Fun Lovin’ Criminals dropped their first studio album, Come Find Yourself. This debut was particularly successful in the UK, where it peaked at number seven and spent well over a year in the British album charts. This success was partly due to the popularity of Quentin Tarantino’s film Pulp Fiction, from which the band included a few samples in their track Scooby Snacks – one of their biggest hit singles (it also featured dialogue from QT’s Reservoir Dogs).
