5.0 out of 5 stars not as good as fantastic planet, but not far off, November 5, 1999

By A Customer

this was the first failure cd i ever heard, and a good one to start off with.. it has a few of their very best songs like frogs, bernie and wet gravity, and it seems to have this strange feel to it, like youre really exploring something different.. the mood is one of acceptance, yet uneasiness, and ken andrews vocals heighten that feeling as he leads u down a somewhat dark path into his emotions... the sound of failure is quite heavy especially due to the distorted bass ... some songs have a great explosive conclusion like bernie and wet gravity, and some are quick pounders like let it drip and magnified.. this album has some really interesting thought provoking lyrics as well... i would say this album ranks as one of the better albums of the decade... a good one to start off with, but also pick up fantastic planet.. it is magnified and so much more..

5.0 out of 5 stars may wolves stalk your stereo, April 20, 2000

This review is from: Magnified (Audio CD)

injustice. maximum bold-faced injustice that this album is not resting comfortably in millions of homes the world over. every day, uncountable children go to bed hungry at night. and if all the money that's sent to feed them went instead to this band, then maybe ther'd be some justice. but not yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars this rocks HARD., May 4, 1999

ok, alright, enough with comparing this record to Fantastic Planet. How many albums aren't dwarfed by the all encompassing juggernaut of raw goodness that album brings forth? The fact is that Magnified is an incredible album. It only has 10 tracks when compared to FP's 17, but every song is great. There's nothin' like good ol Ken's voice a-wailin over that fuzzy bass! geez man, "frogs" is THE stuff, and the end of "bernie" is enough to make a grown man cry! plus the drums on "wet gravity" are insane!! If you like to hear it when a band rocks, then buy this fer sure.
