More great stuff from an underrated, influential intelli-met
Matt Pamatmat | northern CA | 11/15/2005

"Most of these songs came from the time period after Failure's 1st album, Comfort, while they were demo-ing songs for their 2nd album (Magnified). (But, oddly, Magnified has a slew of different songs.) Failure were sharing an apartment in southern California, recording songs at home with a drum machine. Although Failure's frontman, Ken Andrews, has gone onto higher and higher sound quality, I really like the homey, warm feel of these lo-fi songs.
Golden: Unreleased Songs and Images has that wonderful 4 track charm and some of Failure's darkest, most haunting, and most beautiful material. "Pennies" is hands down one of Failure's best songs. "Mange" is a compelling but harrowing account of animal abuse. There is also a hidden track in which Failure don't take themselves too seriously. This compilation attests to the genius of Ken Andrews and Greg Edwards, a writing team I would argue are the Lennon-McCartney of our postmodern age. The documentary -- especially Edwards's commentary -- chronicles the rise and fall of the band, and Edwards's sad, sometimes bitterly funny descent into drug addiction. This 2 disc package is a must for Failure fans, and the "lost" music tracks are like a whole "new" album from a band that disbanded prematurely. Simply excellent. This CD/DVD set may become hard to find or expensive, but is completely worth it, especially for the Failure, Replicants, On, Year of the Rabbit, or Autolux fan."
