FAILURE'S FANTASTIC PLANET - A Hidden 90s Masterpiece 

Wanna hear more of these guys? Here's another video where I look into the rest of their discography: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--DRx0gGsBMg.html And here's a general playlist of all my favourite songs of theirs: open.spotify.com/playlist/7jvVYDdhkR2Dliz5MwQOHK?si=mKiH1-c5TIKPoDhGKqAfmw

The Nurse Who Loved me deserves mention. It's an excellent song, and serves as an excellent gateway to the band through the APC cover.

The "Dark Side of the Moon" of the 90's

well done and yes they are the most under rated band EVER

I don't know how I'm just now coming across this video. The wild thing about Failure is that, typically, when a band gets back together after being broken up for a really long period, their output may be decent, but not really anything great. Failure somehow has managed to pick up exactly where they left off while still evolving into a sound that fits the time we're in now.

I love the tracklist for this album. It starts out kinda grungy, then spaces out a bit on the segues. Things heat up during Smoking Umbrellas, then cool down during Blank and Dirty Blue Balloons. The Nurse Who Loved Me and Stuck on You are both prime hit material, then Heliotropic adds irratiated sunbeams and eerie keyboards. Then Daylight dawns and provides sweet release. A hidden masterpiece at the end of the grunge era.

Favorite album of all time Also please do this for magnified. That colorful masterpiece deserves just as much recognition as Fantastic Planet.

My favorite band. Another space song is my favorite track in the album. I also like similar bands such as ON, year of the rabbit, ken andrews and autolux, the life and times.

Took me until 2010 before I heard this album. Completely blown away. Finding buried gems like this keeps me looking for ‘new’ music no matter how old.

You forget the sometimes member, Troy Van Leeuwen. Troy was a member of A Perfect Circle and current member of Queens of the Stone Age among other projects as well. Interestingly, Greg Edwards recently subbed for James Iha in Perfect Circle. Just throwing that tidbit of info out there. Nice vid. Thanks for making it. Failure is and was criminally underrated. They may have more fans now than they did then. So, not really hidden as much as in the past. That's a good thing. \Failure/

My favorite track off of Fantastic Planet is Heliotropic. Because of it's epic bass line and guitar riffs (it sounds like a heavier version of Downward-era HUM almost). \M/

I discovered this band thank to A Perfect Circle. Cant thank you enough Maynard for everything you have done, including covering "the nurse who loved me"

I'm so happy people discover this band. They are really exceptional and deserve all the attention

Not my quote, but well stated... "Failure is your favorite band's favorite band."

Failure needs so much more credit

They were and are seriously underrated! Thanks for the video

My favorite is Solaris from this album, but the whole album is a classic for me!

Absolutely the most underrated band ever! Fantastic Planet is in my top 5 albums all time!

Saw them live yesterday and I'm still recovering. Not the same genre but Elder is another current band that seems to have great hooks and skill to go with it but haven't gotten as much wide recognition.

Failure has been one of my favorite bands, since I first picked up Fantastic Planet over 25 years ago. Andrews & his bandmates deserve more recognition than they've ever gotten.

While on copious amounts of cough medicine my spotify showed me the first song on the album and i was HOOKED.

A timeless epic classic!

Underrated channel! I hope you gain more subs!

Thanks for covering Failure they truly are one of the most underrated bands of all time

You gotta listen to the remixed and remastered version of Comfort. It brings the album to a whole other level.

Dang, thank you for showing me a great band! I'm gonna check them out now. :)

Garbage and Failure. Two bands that named their bands negative words but in fact they are actually the best bands ever. And kinda underrated.

Brilliant band another space song is such a great track

I now realize how much of a genius both Ken and Greg are...

i just found them totally random on spotify shuffle, and i can only say i absolutly love that album, my favorite by far is The Nurse who loved me! Great video btw, short and simple, with good nuances

Very grateful to have stumbled upon this band! Thank you discover weekly.

Awesome, such a good album.

Don't forget Smoking Umbrellas!!! A song so cheery, so happy, so much fun about being trapped in a burning building and getting cooked alive. I love this album so much.

please do hum!

Fantastic Planet was released when I was 16. I can tell you, MTV barely ever showed the video for Stuck On You on their channel. I think I might have seen it a total of two times, and that was it. It felt like MTV didn't really give them a fair chance.

I find your perspective on this album interesting. Thank you for your analysis. It gives me a bit to ponder. Even though I'm roughly the same age as the band members, I only recently heard of them and subsequently bought all of their albums. I credit Rick Beato for bringing this band within within my radar sweep.

You sir have won a new subscriber!

Wish there was a part 2 of this! Great video.

It's about all three!!

this is a great video. i actually love comfort, steve albini's production is so unique

My favorite song from this album is Solaris! so underrated

Damn the last 4?? Last 5 dude. The Nurse Who Loved Me is a masterpiece

Best album of all time!

New sub! Loved this band since the 90’s. Their newest album ranks up there with Fantastic Planet IMO. Keep it up! Talk about their other albums as well.

Nice job on the video. Anyone who gets Failure has my respect. (A lovingly remastered vinyl collection of their first 3 albums is now available for preorder. You will also get a link to the FLAC and MP3 files.)

As a HUM fan, I'm also a HUGE Failure fan; especially after getting more into Fantastic Planet and learning their songs on guitar and bass (same with HUM). Also it's so cool that you're Australian; I LOVE kangaroos and Kangaroo Jack UwU.~ Also I love Silverchair; the 3 grunge kangaroos - my favorite album is Freak Show. Silverchair is also fairly underrated especially nowadays... Everybody writes them off as "Aussie Nirvana" or "Nirvana in pajamas," but no they're definitely their own thing. XD Also I'd love to see a Garbage, SP, Failure, and HUM tour that would be epic. \M/

Ah yes, Daylight (A.K.A. one the greatest unrecognised solos of the 90's).

Yeah, it's criminal! the stars just didn't align for them!

Please do a video about Hum!

I would argue Lusk Free Mars is the best album you haven’t heard. A lot of people have heard Fantastic Planet. Greg Edward’s played on Free Mars!

Nice video... Love Failure Back in the day. when I was living in LA? I was playing drums for some different bands etc. I wanted to meet Ken so badly?... I had Fantastic Planet down on drums and everything- Then I found out about a band that was auditioning drummers? They were called Enemy. I can't remember exactly? But one of the guys from Failure was in this band or something? Anyway, I figured this was my ticket to meet him and the rest of the guys somehow? lol, I had their whole EP memorized as well. I was so excited! Then all the sudden, I ran into a whole bunch of problems around that time? and to make it short.... I ended up having to move back to Sac-town...Ugggh! (Everything did end up on a great note btw) lol well that was some of my Failure story?

Love the TOBACCO background music at the start

best difference between smashing pumpkins and failure is that ken andrews isn't a prick

They covered a Depeche Mode song on for the masses cd tribute. And absolutely killed it

Sounds like Kurt heading mid to late 90s Foos. That drum sound is Dave Grohl incarnate

🤍🖤🤍 since 1997.

Este album es increiblemente bueno

💯

it got featured on decibels important albums of all time, now i know why

Regarding the garbage joke the singer rocked up to my managers bar expecting free drinks because she was the lead singer of Garbage and he was like "who?" This was in 2003, way after their apex.

Blank is an awesome song but just listen to the entire album. It makes me pine for the days when albums had a flow to them.

6:24

So many times I caught myself listening to the music instead of what you were saying lol

Nice assessment. Where'd you get all the live footage??

Any idea where that clip of Stuck On You at the end of the review is from? I've never heard that version before. Great review by the way!

Their new album is their best

I feel like you'd quite like My Vitriol - Cemented Shoes

Also what are some of these underrated "Aussie rock/metal bands?" I'd love to get into them. ;3

quien sabe por qué son tan poco conocidos si son muy buenos

The filth haven't heard this album, and that's just fine.

You should check out autolux it’s the lead singers other band

i was expecting something spacier.

1:40 I think you picked a strange juxtaposition for helping out viewers. I am 99.99% certain that Ken Andrews had mentioned that the material for Fantastic Planet had been sitting around for a year, and they had record label problems. Smashing Pumpkins were the darlings of their label, and Failure akin to a procrastination exercise for their label.

I checked out this album. It’s not. That is all.

Do "Course of Empire"!
