3.5 greatnotkanyewest | May 29th 19

Unable to feel anything much/ which was the reason why I bought my first suit

2.0 poorMonstar1790 | February 27th 11

The production's pretty damn great, but he lost what made him a unique and winning artist. No soul, just lots of coke and cringeworthy writing.

2.0 poormorrissey EMERITUS | June 25th 06

Billy Bragg jokingly subtitled Talking With the Taxman About Poetry the "difficult third album". Were Mike Skinner to subtitle The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living, the "self-absorbed, humourless third album" might be more appropriate. The production has improved over his first two albums, but the drop in quality in every other area tips the balance. The choruses here are catchier, but the lyrics suffer and the topics are either insincere or lazily approached. Tales of the trappings of fame can be interesting, but Skinner's retellings allow for no sympathy. Hopefully he'll return to form with his next release, but I won't hold my breath. Cherish his first two records, stay away from this one.
