F-Punk
Template:DMCA Script error: No such module "Unsubst-infobox".Script error: No such module "Check for conflicting parameters". Template:Album ratings F-Punk is a studio album by Mick Jones' post-Clash band Big Audio Dynamite, released in 1995.[1][2] It was the first album to be released under the name of Big Audio Dynamite since 1989's Megatop Phoenix. The title is a pun on the funk group P-Funk, and is supposed to imply "Fuck punk." The album cover lettering takes influence from London Calling, one of Mick Jones' albums with The Clash, which in turn was a copy of Elvis Presley's debut album.[3]
Critical reception
Trouser Press called the album "an attempt to cash in on a formidable legacy by largely abandoning dance sounds for unexceptional, straight-ahead rock — it’s emblematic of the band’s stylistic change that 'Push Those Blues Away' drops a promising jungle beat for plain-jane rock."[4] The Hartford Courant wrote that "there's too much that sounds like demo tapes for a future album, fiddling around on keyboards, messing with volume dials, punching up experiments that don't always work."[3] CMJ New Music Monthly thought that B.A.D. "has simply forgotten to draw the line between creative mixing and pure sludge."[5] Entertainment Weekly wrote: "Beginning with a '1,2,3,4' count-off, the low-fi garage hum of 'I Turned Out a Punk' could act as a biography for any of the four members of the Clash."[6]
