Best Concept Album of the 90s, Hands DownI agree with most of the posts. Fantastic Planet is criminally underrated. A few things that haven't been mentioned: the approach the band takes toward melody is incredibly innovative. The melodies are essentially pentatonic but devoid of recognizable patterns--no cliches--and yet somehow they still manage to be catchy. No one has said much about the lyrics. Saturday Savior is one of the most devastatingly honest songs about sexual politics I've ever run across. Dirty Blue Balloons and the Nurse…
Best when broodingFailure's third and final attempt not to be one was another successfully underground attempt to further breed their slickly distorted, hard-rock depressants into an even catchier, and sometimes friendlier sound, with mixed results. With a name like theirs, it needn't be said that the group works best in a negative melodic musical context, and songs to the contrary, while still mainly competent and even mildly infectious, do not serve Failure's strength.
