allmusic still lists Failure's Fantastic Planet as merely a 2-star album

omg “bad translation”

this is all i've listened to today, it's phenomenal

idk what it is but I feel like I already know what every new Failure song is going to sound like before pressing play.

I'll definitely give the new one a shot. So far I simply don't hear any 2015-present Failure at the same level of dopeness as stuff like Smoking Umbrellas or Dirty Blue Balloons or Solaris.

not “counterfeit sky”? “what makes it easy”? “heavy and blind”? idk i think they picked up right where they left off and i never get tired of the sound

Looks like I posted on this thread 16 years ago (!) but I'm not sure I've thought about Failure since then.

Stuck On You still sounds good, even as a bedroom youtube acoustic cover.

holy fuckin shit @ the last five tracks of this album

Damn I wish I could find a copy of In the Future...

the last four tracks of in the future... >>>>>>

guess i'm heading there next

Headed to Magnified next. Whoa! Moth is amaaaaazing

the whole opening run is amazing, Frogs being all weirdly epic and then Bernie sounding like Slint doing an alt-rock slammer

but Moth is like, something else

Just finally got a copy of In the Future, looks like I gotta track down Magnified next. Kicking myself now because I definitely remember that one popping up in the bins regularly in college, but I hadn't yet discovered the magnificence of Fantastic Planet and the cover always gave me "corny alt-rock also-ran" vibes so I never checked it out.

I've met lots of people who like Magnified the best.

"Undone" might be my #1.

Opening track of In The Future... is a Radioheadish 00s-indie song?

But a really, really good one lol

was revisiting the heart is a monster last week and i think i just have to admit it's my favorite failure album, the songs all slap and the dream concept is extremely my shit

One of those bands I feel slightly affronted to not have been informed of earlier
