Failure

[No More Sugar]

Threads gone...#2.

Badass band, period. Pillowhead, Small Crimes...flawless.

[skinnypuppy]

one of the best bands ever. period.

[Corleone]

Fantastic Planet is awesome.. best album by them

[pillswithwine]

Failure was a great band, no doubt.  Calling them one of the best bands ever is a huge stretch.  Especially when they have only one 'fantastic' cd.  The rest of their music to me is mediocre.

[No More Sugar]

i agree more with skinnypuppy than you two. Magnified is just as great as fantastic planet to me. Comfort is alright too.

I kinda have to agree. Fantastic Planet is indeed fantastic (although it's far from perfect - some songs are pretty boring and sound unfinished) but while the rest of their material is still great, it lacks a lot and sounds like they're still trying to find their thing.

they could have been totally awesome, they just never got around to it imo. I wish they would've stayed around for at least two more albums, then they would probably have reached 100%.

I almost like Magnified more than Fantastic Planet but there both great 

havent heard comfort but Ive heard that its less spacey and thats my fav part of failure

[Oldnewtype]

Fantastic Planet is one of my favorite albums ever.

[No More Sugar]

oh well, i think they're incredible.

[No More Sugar]

a bump for my favorite fucking band.

[skinnypuppy]

To each their own, but I look at Failure as a band who influenced most of the music we listen to, which pushes them towards greatness more than if they were just a cool band.

Cave In called themselves a Failure cover band once because they feel like everything they do is influenced by Failure.

[DeathByPlane00]

Another Space Song is amazing. Not to mention Solaris & Frogs.

[Jacob]

over the last week I've rediscovered Fantastic Planet. Pillowhead, Solaris, Heliotropic, Another Space Song... wonderful songs!

[godin]

Undone is one of the best layered songs ever. Amazing ending.

[Deftones-argentina]

Thanks no more sugar, I checked the cd's out and I liked some tunes...makes me remember to the most somber side of Hum. Still I have to agree, their cd's tend to be boring. Some genius moments and one of the most original sounds ever, anyway.

[Jerry_Curls]

Didn't the guy go on to form Autolux [your avatar]? I was drumming along to "Here comes everybody" today....fun song :-) Sorrry to get OT.

[skinnypuppy]

Yep. Greg Edwards. Autolux, to me, is an extension of Failure.

[No More Sugar]

Mmhm. I don't really know if I agree with that statement...Autolux to me sounds minimally like Failure, but some similarities.

I'm in love with all of their music. I've really come to appreciate the work done on Comfort the more I listen to it. Most notably on "Macaque", "Something", "Swallow", "Muffled Snaps" and "Pro-Catastrophe". If I had to pick a least favorite, it'd be Magnified..as it seems like a few of the tracks are just filler. However, some of it is just amazing and yes, genius.

"Heliotropic" in my opinion seems like it could have been a huge inspiration to Billy Howerdel. Much like Cave-In claims that their material is almost ripped from Failure's music..
