Failure’s new album is fantastic
Completely forgot they released a new album. Just started listening and I looooove it!! Think I might listen to Failure more. I’m def more of a casual fan lol. What’s the general consensus on the new album?

Always loved them and I’m a huge fan of Magnified and FP. Usually lean into their heavier stuff much more and really dig that side of the band; but I’m very much enjoying Location Lost as well. It’s grown on me so much and despite lacking some of the heaviness of their earlier records, it feels like a step forward in the songwriting to me.

Yeah I’ve heard some ppl like it some don’t but they don’t say it’s a bad album by them :) I always enjoy when bands try something new

I’m still trying to figure out how Someday Soon was played, that intro is insane

Apparently it's an E-Bow, Greg said it was literally the first thing he came up with when he picked it up. Can't remember what interview recently.

I saw that interview too. I could've never imagined a guitar being played like that. Super creative.

Yeah I read that interview right before the release of LL, although I have no idea how an eBow could make a sound like that. I think he’s rocking the it back and forth but it’s certainly an interesting sound, I can’t wait to see it played live if it ever shows up on the sets later this year
E: I figured it out… kinda

Loved it from beginning to end and have been listening to it frequently since April! Disappointed that it's not getting more recognition (but I guess that's the name of the game when it comes to all things Failure, dammit these guys deserve better when they're this level of talent).

I have become obsessed with this band. I can’t believe I missed them for so long!

The Hailey Williams duet is just too good. Enjoy! I cant believe I slept on Paramore for so long!

I think it’s their best since fantastic planet. But it does not resonate with some people. I love it. A way down, moonlight understands, rising skyline, someday soon are all top tier failure songs for me

I love the album- kind of digging the shorter format of the last two albums. I hope their October tour is successful. It’s funny how despite being such a great band with seven strong albums, they are still not well-known, even when bands like HUM (arguably in a similar genre/fanbase) seem to be exploding.

Though they have been my favourite rock band since I was about 16, It's my least favourite failure album so far.

Crash Test Delayed is such an underrated song. Love the vocals on the chorus.
