 | | I was actually introduced to this band from a magazine article, in which Maynard Keenan (Tool) tells of a discussion he had with Ken Andrews way back in 1994, involving dark tonal styles in music. |
 | | The production quality of this release far exceeds that of the band's debut, Comfort; this is probably due to the fact that on that release, producer Steve Albini had been trying for his trademark unpolished sound, which did not seem to fit this group, and which ultimately resulted in a flawed album. |
 | | Failure knew how to utilize subtlety and dissonance to an extreme that made them better than Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains or Pearl Jam - they surpassed all of those '90s bands, yet no one knew of them. |
