Fun Lovin Criminals – 100% Columbian

Fun Lovin Criminals
Artist: Fun Lovin Criminals
Title: 100% Columbian
Label: Virgin
Rating: 7/10

Having already achieved European star status, the latest release from the Fun Lovin’ Criminals, 100% Colombian, is another step in their evolution toward stardom in the United States. While it is smoother and more mellow than their previous album, it still contains some fast-movers and up/down tempos. Each tune has a genuinely original sound. They range from incessantly tight as in “Up On the Hill” and “The View Belongs to Everyone” to the fueled fervor behind “We Are All Very Worried About You”.

Their style is smooth, their sound is original, and samples are held to a minimum. The Fun Lovin’ Criminals hone their powers in creating textured songs without all of the technological garble that so many releases have today. 100% Colombian defines itself in the realm of the diversity that lends distinction to the music scene today.
