You might know Failure better as the band that wrote the song The Nurse Who Loved Me which was later covered in a somewhat over-the-top way by A Perfect Circle. Interestingly enough, Troy Van Leeuwen, who played guitar during the time this album was released, was a member of A Perfect Circle during their first album, but left the band before the second album was completed and did not play on the cover of this song. Just kind of funny.

Failure are one of those bands that most people would probably never hear of if it wasn't for people like me who think that the grunge era was something to be celebrated and remembered. It's easy to point to Local H and say, hey, grunge is still kind of relevant (regardless of the fact that Local H are more hard rock than they are grunge), but that's because they're still kicking. Failure has been dead for almost 13 years now, and no one is talking about them. That's a shame because this is a damn fine album full of damn fine songs just like this one, and you should check it out.

I'll be going back to trying to cover an equal number of new and old songs, as I've been focusing a bit too heavily on new music that excites me. I'm getting a lot of traffic thanks to being on Hype Machine now, so I'm going to use this as inspiration to post more. As always, just enjoy it!
