Come Find Yourself

"Come Find Yourself" is the debut studio album by the American band Fun Lovin' Criminals, released in 1996. This eclectic album blends a variety of genres including hip hop, rock, jazz, and funk, which was quite innovative for its time.

One of the most recognized tracks from the album is "Scooby Snacks," which uniquely samples dialogue from Quentin Tarantino's classic films "Pulp Fiction" and "Reservoir Dogs." This particular song became a hit and largely contributed to the album's success, reaching number 22 on the UK Singles Chart. The use of such cinematic samples not only created a distinct sonic character but also helped embed the Fun Lovin' Criminals into the '90s pop culture.

Interestingly, the band’s knack for combining humor and storytelling in their lyrics is exemplified across the album, especially in tracks like "The Fun Lovin' Criminal" and "King of New York." The latter is a homage to famous New Yorkers, and includes messages rife with clever references and wordplay.

Another notable aspect of "Come Find Yourself" is the band's depiction of 1990s urban life mixed with a noirish element, which gave listeners an auditory experience akin to a metropolitan adventure. This, combined with the laid-back yet funky beats, made the album particularly appealing and contributed to its lasting influence.

Despite its mixed reviews initially, "Come Find Yourself" has since been celebrated as a cult classic among fans, with its diverse sound and iconic tracks securing the band a place in alternative music history. It's also worth noting that in 2016, a 20th Anniversary edition of the album was released, which included bonus material and remixes, providing an expanded insight into its creation.
