    well....it's social poetry - what's rap if it's not just some guys talking over phat beats? It's genius because it's accurate social commentary that makes you think - plus Mike Skinner made the whole album in his bedroom for a tenner using two cardboard toilet tubes and a speak-n-spell!;)

    try listening to 'has it come to this' or 'the irony of it all' whilst off your tits and you'll see the big picture;)

    it's clever stuff - and to say he did the whole first album in his bedroom shows he's got some talent... but social poet? how poncey is that! one trick pony maybe....

    First album was like nothing else out there - 2nd wasn't as good... although - just because he didn't evole/re-invent himself for the 2nd, doesn't retract from his style. 'cry your eyes' will be one of those classic heart break songs in my opinion... rings true with anyone....

    Neither is knocking together the latest trance belter on a computer, or mixing a load of records together, if you look at it from that perspective

    i prefer :chill: to appreciate most things - but that doesn't mean it could be crap, because it makes you realise equally well how crap things are :lol:

    i really like it, it gets hammered by me at work (now in fact) you have to listen to it the whole way through, it aint an album u put on to listen to a track, u listen to it all.

    Like both the Albums. Can see why people don't like them but if you don't take it too seriously its good. Can relate to the lyrics far more than with hip hop tunes
