Album Notes & Community Reviews
Mike Skinner utilizes his third studio album to document the dizzying highs and profound paranoia of unexpected mainstream celebrity. The production remains rooted in UK Garage and hip-hop, but the lyricism is deeply cynical, focusing heavily on drug abuse, financial excess, and the hollowness of the music industry. It debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart.
