This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things
$9.00
A wall of layered guitars - overdriven, with wah-wah and other effects - marks the dramatic opening of This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things from Boston band The Luxury. This first track, "Let Go", provides ample demonstration of the band's prodigious technical facility and tantalizingly hints at their space rock tendencies. From there, the album kicks into another gear with the melodic "Seven Stories". Filled with sing-along melodies and punchy rhythms, this one is an obvious hit. The dichotomy here of dark lyrics - " the song will always end the same/when they're the wrong words and we sing them anyway" - with decidedly catchy melodies is a trademark of the entire album.
