I really like their debut album. I even saw'em in concert. Well, at a festival.― nathalie, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 00:39 (4 years ago)

I enjoyed the singles off the first album when they were on the radio, and saw 'em at a festival in '99, where they were one of the funnest acts of the day.
Huey and Kar1 Hyde from Underwor1d reportedly came to blows backstage, though, over the honour of Saffr0n from Repub1ica.

i like huey on 6 music. he has a good radio voice, and his music selection is often very enjoyable.

He has very good music taste, better than Lauren Laverne at any rate, but 6music now seem determined to boost his royalty cheques by playing one of his own abysmal records at any opportunity.

I hope to never hear another Fun Lovin' Criminals again, but I find Huey winning: he has an amiable radio manner, a fondness for dogs and the air of a cheerful, generous and self-aware slogger who is grateful for all that life has given him, despite his limited gifts.
He's married to a 'Lady Rebecca Morgan'. Is he now a minor aristocrat?

my brother was a fan of their first album, and in late '98 while I was on a trip to London I picked up a copy of 100% Colombian for him since it hadn't been released in the U.S. yet. it was a pretty decent album! definitely enjoyable and well crafted aside from the band's inherently corny schtick.

I was in Europe in '98 too and I met these guys in Germany who, upon finding out that I was American, went all nuts about Fun Lovin' Criminals. I've never heard their second album, but I had been fairly derisive of the first one to my American friends who liked it (I feigned ignorance to the Germans).

Actually, I told the German guys to check out Sublime. I thought I was being such a cultural ambassador.

I slightly sympathised with him, think he was having a mini existential crisis bought on by the current shitness of Buzzcocks.

Nice bass sound on that first album.
― Sickamous Mouthall (Scik Mouthy),
just put this on out of a random 'huh' groove, and thought this exact thing.
basically, this album does not need a remaster.
