This is just gorgeous, I love every song more than the original recording.

When I found this guys, and saw all the comments going like "Failure the most underrated band ever" etc. I thought fans were overreacting. Now that I've listened to all albums and tracks, I can deeply understand what me and so many have been missing. Even after they came back in 2021 with Wild Type Droid, a great album, and some of the best musicians like Maynard Keenan, Dean DeLeo, Troy Van Leeuwen showing so much appreciation and respect for them, they still don't have the recognize they deserve. I think they belong to that class of artists ahead of their time whose art will only be really recognized in a distant future.

The host did a great job asking questions. Props to her.

I don't understand why faliure weren't bigger in the 90's, they're waaaay more technically advanced than any other 90's band and are just so proficient at their instruments

[justjash]

Another Space Song is still my favourite

[synthoelectro]

A band you can actually feel. The first time I heard them was on my radio in the morning during the 90's before I went to school. Instead of an alarm it was the radio, and Stuck on you was playing - I'll never forget it.

[Velopod]

This engineer deserves a fucking award. WOW this mix sounds fantastic! One of my favorite bands ever, too!

Their sound, just their sound....space, cosmos, drugs, space, PURE 90s vibe! just perfect sound!

[mondrian]

Strangely beautiful... awkwardly calming... weirdly welcoming... hauntingly poetic.. So glad these guys are back...

[garyarms]

Finally it is now time for the rest of the world 🌍 to take notice. The greatest f'king band on the planet.
😳 💥 -FAILURE- 💥😳

Watched this several times, love Failure and Cheryl's authentic love for the band. Just noticed how tremendous that snare hit is at 25:00. Holy damn, KEXP engineers + Kelli.

Blessed to see Failure open for TOOL in '94 in a tiny club in West Palm Beach, Fl.
Blessed again to see Failure "open" for TOOL again in 2016 in Denver, Co.
They played the night before. Fantastic Planet in it's holy entirety.

Sometimes I don't realize how lucky I am.

[AdamSmithNES]

Fantastic Planet helped me so much when I was strung out on painkillers. During the addiction, and after I kicked and got clean. When I was using, I was trying to deal with a bad breakup, and the album was just such a great escape while I was escaping the world and trying to find my own meaning in life. Then after I got clean, it serves as something of a reminder that I hope to never be in that place again. It's such a joy to have Failure back in the present day!

[Superanima]

their cover of enjoy the silence by Depeche Mode is exceptionally well done and chunky and beautiful failure sound and it is very close to perfection

[MouthlyKnives]

in my opinion this is one of the best mixed KEXP sessions ! !! ! it just sounds so awesome

[AlSeg]

Extremely underrated band honestly, they should be waaaay more famous, their latest album became one of my favorite of all time

[indieclock]

this might be one of the best KEXP sessions in history - not just b/c of Failure but the sound/video engineering. so spot on.

[tsnovak]

My friend told me about this band. I enjoyed it very much

[kentrey]

This was just unbelievable. Was going to bed but now it's gonna be hard to...
