Long heralded your favourite band's favourite band, Failure enjoyed a modest but passionate following for nearly a decade before their dissolution in 1997.
But in the post-reunion follow-up to 1996 space rock opera Fantastic Planet, Failure prove they're more worthy of attention than anyone else on the comeback circuit. At 18 tracks, The Heart Is A Monster is an ambitious and emphatic return statement, crammed full of the irresistible hooks, guitar wizardry and snappy lyricism that made Failure one of the best kept secrets of the '90s. Don't call it a comeback album — rather, a wondrous rebirth.
