5.0 out of 5 stars Push Those Blues Away, November 7, 2001

This is one of BAD's best releases--comparable to the first album and The Globe in quality and inventiveness. BAD fans shouldn't be disappointed in this record. The songs are a bit more complex and challenging than most pop and hip-hop--but remember, THAT'S WHY WE LIKE THIS BAND. "Vitamin C", "Psycho Wing", and "Push Those Blues Away" rate among Mick Jones' best songs--and that's saying a lot. The disc hangs together well and has enough going on to reward each new listening.

5.0 out of 5 stars Underrated, August 26, 2005

This is BAD's last album and has the some great feel that their earlier albums had. Mick Jones is a true punk legend and though nothing like his earlier band The Clash, this is still classic punk. Some songs are a bit long, but the music is really cool. Favorites include I Turned Out a Punk, Vitamin C, Push Those Blues Away, Got To Set Her Free, Get It All From My TV, and I Can't Go On Like This. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of B.A.D.'s best releases. It's crazy to rate this low!, April 8, 2005

I don't understand how anyone who likes Big Audio Dynamite cannot like this album. F-Punk features the best features of Mick Jones' early 80's Clash work and the style that made early Big Audio Dynamite work so fun, except that it's not nearly as sample heavy. That's it, it's not sample heavy, but it's great Mick Jones work.

The lead off track "I Turned Out A Punk" was the only track considered good enough to show up on Big Audio Dynamite's "Planet BAD - Greatest Hits" (although this album was only 3 months old at the time), but "Push Those Blues Away" and "Gonna Try" are probably my two favorites here, and they're worth the price of admission. The last track on the album entitled "What About Love?" also gives way to a hidden track, which is an excellent cover of David Bowie's "Suffragette City". (Not listed on the album description.) Really, there isn't a bad track on the album in my opinion.

F-Punk is out of print and incredibly hard to find in record shops, so I wholeheartedly recommend purchasing this one online here at Amazon. Take it from someone who owns every Clash album and has listened to a lot of Big Audio Dynamite, this one is much better than its low availability would suggest.
