Come Find Yourself , the band’s first album, was released in the summer of 1996 by Chrysalis Records and followed their single “The Grave and the Constant” (UK No. 72), which had been released a month earlier, into the UK charts. The album also featured the UK Top 40 hits ” Scooby Snacks ” (UK No. 22), “The Fun Lovin’ Criminal” (UK No. 26), and “King of New York” (UK No. 28). The latter’s subject matter touched on the imprisonment of Italian-American mafioso John Gotti , the wannabe gangsters emulating his style, and his fans and followers in his community who maintained his innocence. The biggest hit, ” Scooby Snacks “, features samples from films by Quentin Tarantino and a guitar sample from Tones on Tail ‘s song “Movement of Fear”, interspersed with rap verses and a sung, anthemic chorus. Come Find Yourself had a slow rise on the UK Albums Chart , eventually peaking at No. 7 and spending well over a year on the chart, but it failed to make an impact in the US, despite the band appearing as musical guests on MTV’s The Jenny McCarthy Show . The success of the album prompted the re-release of “Scooby Snacks” as a single, alongside a cover of the 10cc classic ” I’m Not in Love “, which this time reached UK No. 12.
