New Failure documentary is coming out on Hulu and I assumed Disney Plus over here and the rest of the world later this month
Just watched the documentary this afternoon and really enjoyed it. As someone who likes reading up on the history of a band once I start getting into them, this doc was really satisfying for me. It definitely gave me a better/deeper understanding of their history and contained a lot of stuff that isn’t really known elsewhere. It also shed light on their creative process/relationship which was interesting to explore. I was pretty curious how they were able to make it 2 hours long, but they did it so effortlessly. I genuinely think you could make a whole 2-hour doc on Fantastic Planet alone. Insane lineup of people interviewed for it too. Highly recommend
Just started listening to this band after getting a targeted ad for the doc - Fantastic Planet is sick! Albinis production makes this still sound fresh 30 years later
Super underrated. FP was my gateway to the band, and skimming Magnified didn't do a ton for me at first. But it clicked big time after a couple more attentive listens. It's a close #3 behind FP and ITF, imo.
Magnified is a top 15 album of the 90s and would be most bands' magnum opus by a long shot and it's not even their best one
Fantastic Planet is my fave, but Magnified is also incredible. Frogs is easily a top five song of theirs for me. That simple, chunky bass part still gives me goosebumps
