Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.co.uk
Fun Lovin' Criminals have always been a talented, sensitive band who undermine themselves by their insistence that they are actually suave gangsters and wiseguys who, should you cross them, will ensure that you "sleep with da fishes". Maybe this schtick worked as an initial attention-grabbing device, but it's surely now time to drop the horses' heads and violin cases and just be the tremendous band they frequently are. Loco (it's a shame about the unimaginative title) contains some very bizarre snippets and much truly excellent music. The opening punky splurge "Where The Bums Go" is plain daft and suggests a cack-handed Ramones tribute band, but the title track (and ad soundtrack) is FLCs at their finest, a sly and languid slice of cool, knowing funk. And so it goes on: "Run Daddy Run" finds them donning their frayed streetwise threads again, but "Half a Block" is ruminative and endearingly graceful. They get cooler and better as the album progresses; "Underground" is a beauteous pledge of love and friendship and the closing "Little Song" is expansive and warm. So, ignore the "plastic gangster" hype: there is gorgeous, considered music here. --Ian Gittins

Chronique amazon.fr
Pour ce quatrième album les New-Yorkais aux dégaines de mafiosi branchés confirment leur indéniable savoir-faire, tout en ayant une fâcheuse tendance à enclencher le pilote automatique. 100% Colombian, le prédécesseur, avait déjà largement validé la formule qui fit de "Scooby Snacks" l'hymne festif de 1996, on attendait de Loco !!! qu'il essaie d'exploiter un nouveau filon. Ce n'est pas franchement le cas mais il n'y pas non plus de quoi bouder son plaisir: les Fun Lovin' Criminals s'offrent une nouvelle fois un beau hold- up en vidant les coffres de la musique noire (funk, rap, soul) et en entassant le butin auprès de guitares alambiquées ou de reliquats easy listening. L'impérial Huey s'impose définitivement comme le meilleur crooner contemporain, en plus des autres registres dans lesquels il excelle, et les titres admirablement ciselés n'ont rien perdu de leur portée à la fois lascive et classieuse. Majoritairement laidback, Loco voit une nouvelle fois les FLC fréquenter aussi bien Beck que leur idole Barry White pour un résultat qui conserve toute son originalité dans le paysage musical actuel, à défaut de le faire au sein de leur discographie. --Fabrice Courdan
