Customer Reviews of Failure
The finest album and the lowest budget. Although the Posies gained a little bit of success in the latter part of the 90s, this CD is by far the best they've produced. Their newer work is "polished" and the amount of studio influence is obvious; "Failure" is raw, with garage lyrics and sound...it is anything but what it claims to be.
The Posies' newer work is shiny, like a new car. It has no character, no feeling, no raw emotion. "Failure" on the other hand is like that old beat-up bag of bolts that you keep around because of the memories it holds. The songs on "Failure" have lasted for me and none of the Posies' newer work makes me feel the way these songs do.
I first heard the Posies in the late 80s. They played at some local clubs and I saw them at Bumbershoot (Seattle's music and arts festival). I fell in love almost instantly. The lyrics are painfully honest and practically slap you in the face.
For instance, "The Longest Line" (track 2) begins, "I've spent half of my life in this god-awful place and I swear that I've only grown older; I've had all I can take of patience and kindness I can't wait in this line any longer." This was the ballad of my youth.
The honesty continues. "I may hate you sometimes" reminds me of every relationship I've ever had. I could go on to describe how every song rings true, but I'll just let you buy it and you'll quickly see that this lower-budget album speaks directly to your heart and history. This album is invaluable to me and I'm sure it will be so for you.
Enjoy!
A Correction for "Bee-Girl"
Now people... that this is an awesome album is not in question, but let's not go bashing on the Posies' other work. Yes, their later albums are more polished, but they are still raw compared to most of today's music. Production, if not overused, is not always a bad thing, and the Posies have used it about at well as anyone I know of. Their last record, Success, is the strongest dose of the bittersweet I've ever heard, and all their music, for that matter, has a heart-rending beauty that I've never heard anyone else duplicate. So let's just have a little respect for two of history's best songwriters, because I have a feeling that they themselves would say their later work evolved for the better.
PERFECT!
Failure is without question the best CD release in a very long time. I just bought it for the 4th time (it keeps getting stolen). Their lyrics are echoes of what my life has been, their delivery is honest and real, and their music is unique. If you buy one CD today, it should be this one. I've been converting doubtful people to Posies fans since this cd came out.
