A Matter Of Time brings Fun Lovin' Criminals back to the kind of loose but controlled territory that made the band hard to file in the first place. The record moves through funk, bluesy guitar, hip-hop phrasing and barroom rock confidence without making any one ingredient carry the whole weight. The Face Of Giants opens with a lean, purposeful strut, What It Is keeps the groove direct, and Out Of Darkness Comes The Light stretches the mood into something warmer and more reflective. By the time the album reaches Full Stop and All Across The Lands, the band sound less like they are chasing a period comeback and more like they are settling back into their own street-corner grammar. The second side is where the personality broadens. Little Bit Further and Make It Nice lean into rhythm and ease, 1972 gives the record a memory-haunted centre, A Trick On A Dime keeps the sly storytelling alive, and Lovers Rock closes with a title that catches the album's mix of swagger and affection. It is recognisably Fun Lovin' Criminals: cinematic, grooved, half-smiling, and built around songs that understand how much space a rhythm section can leave without losing shape.

The album matters because it is the group's first full studio LP since Classic Fantastic, and it shows the later Fun Lovin' Criminals identity without turning the old formula into museum work. It connects their familiar rock, funk and hip-hop vocabulary to a current 2025 release that still sounds relaxed, streetwise and song-led.

For collectors, this is the contemporary chapter of the Fun Lovin' Criminals shelf rather than another pass through the 1990s hits. The heavyweight LP format gives the release enough object value, while the track list makes it a useful companion to Come Find Yourself, 100% Colombian and the later catalogue.

Groove-heavy funk rock and rap rock with bluesy guitar, spoken-sung swagger, hip-hop timing, warm soul touches and relaxed late-night momentum.

Recommended for: Fun Lovin' Criminals collectors following the new album; listeners who like rock records with funk and hip-hop movement; fans of groove-led 1990s alternative sounds carried into a current LP.
