The Reason Why (2002)

The Reason Why (2002) - All Time Ladytron's best No. 8

Let’s continue with a track (again from the second album) which is pure Ladytron. Sound and structure of the finest meet here: although it begins like „simple” electro pop, the second half transforms into something totally new. The text and refrain („You're secondhand…” + „That’s the reason why…”) disappear completely and what we hear is sound no. 2 with some female vocals without words (most probably Helen’s). To sum up, a track with lots of surprises, every minute something new and in the second half catharsis pure.
