Add a twinge of black metal and set it against a drone background and you just about have all that is Have a Nice Life. Drawing inspiration from acts that run the gamut, Have a Nice Life come across as an amalgam of My Bloody Valentine’s fuzziest tones, Nine Inch Nail’s most angst ridden noises, and the sublime essence of Joy Division. Starting out as a bedroom project between two men, Dan Barret and Tim Macuga, the band quickly evolved into something much more profound. In a way Have a Nice Life is the very album that they’ve become known for. No, Deathconsciouness is an album that one could talk about endlessly, mining its corridors and perplexing twists and turns all the while becoming lost time and time again. Deathconsciousness isn’t an album that can just be swept under a rug, cowed down for its successor. In the case of Have a Nice Life, however, it is absolutely necessary. Review Summary: Not quite the earth mover that was "Deathconsciousness," but Have a Nice Life's long awaited second record is a logical next step and a worthwhile listen nonetheless.īeginning an album review by discussing a band’s previous work is trite at best a needlessly convenient way to lead into a meatier discussion.
