The Art of Losing is the second studio album from American Hi-Fi. It was released in February 2003 by Island Records. The album featured the singles "The Art of Losing" and "The Breakup Song" neither of which charted. The album itself peaked at #80 on the Billboard 200. "A tougher, harder-edged sound--with intense guitar licks by Arentzen and a beefed-up rhythm section by Parson and Nolan--distinguishes The Art of Losing from the band's debut album, as does its live, spontaneous feel and lack of computer production tricks."[1]

The Art of Losing received a mixed reception, and didn't particularly impress critics. It received 2/5 stars from Rolling Stone and 2.5/5 stars from Allmusic. Shortly after the album's release American Hi-Fi was dropped by their record company, Island Records. The band was told they were simply not making enough money despite having sold upwards of 600,000 albums. The band finished their remaining tour dates and afterwards returned home to begin work on a new album.[1]
