The title of the album refers to the song "You're No Fun Anymore", about an S&M relationship which has lost its spark. "Luxembourg" is the escape word used.
Production
After getting dropped Mercury Records, the band started to use their sublabel Superior Quality Recordings independently. Lead singer Mark Morriss considered it as their "first experience of failure". They decided to take a different approach with Luxembourg and decided to use no acoustic guitars.[8]
