5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite band., June 22, 2005

This record was recorded as a demo. Its ironic that its out on CD since it was basically a tape passed around at thier shows. And its still awesome. Even in thier late teens (!?), they constructed some of the best lyrics and power pop melodies ever. Ken Stringfellow might have looked like a girl (with dangling earrings to boot)but these boys kicked ass, live. this is actually the re-issue of the 15th anniversary edition, not just an import. It has a bunch of extra stuff for diehard fans (and thats pretty much the only kind of fans this band has) to enjoy. Like many releases from the band, i found out about it much later... They deserved so much more.

5.0 out of 5 stars When the music was good, February 7, 2000

The first time I saw the Posies was at a Northern Lights record store in downtown Minneapolis. They had just released their album Dear 23. They signed our cds and took out their guitars and played a wonderful acoustic show that I'll never forget. I knew some but not all of their songs back then. The ones I didn't know were from Failure. I looked and finally bought it. It was by far my favorite of the group. I don't like most of their recent stuff, but Failure and Dear 23 will always be my favorites.

5.0 out of 5 stars What all indie pop should be, November 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Failure (Audio CD)

This was my introduction to music in Seattle. It changed my views on music forever. This album harkens back to early pop influences like the Hollies, The Beatles, and Cheap Trick. All of the music was written and played by Jon and Ken and it gives it this simple yet beautiful feel. Not all songs on it are perfect, but it seems to hit right on as a whole album. Don't expect the semi-rocking pop of their latter albums, this is the kind of album all indie rockers wish they could make. Too bad they had to dream of being Seattle Rockers instead of Popsters.
