    The occasional “segues” throughout the record recall Fantastic Planet and although they help give it some variety and atmosphere, they also feel like too much of a throwback rather than helping The Heart Is A Monster stands on its own.

After so many years, Ken Andrews and crew haven't dropped a beat. The album is basically everything a fan of Failure could ever want; equal part experiment and throwback. There is also plenty for new listeners to love from this album too. They never lost sight of what makes Failure so great. The structure of the songs and the album itself is impeccable.

Please if you know whats good for your ear holes, put this under-acclaimed and relatively unknown band in them.
