Fantastic Planet (album)
Fantastic Planet is the third and final studio album by the American rock band Failure. It was the last album released on Slash Records as distributed by Warner Bros. Records. The album failed to chart on Billboard's Top 200 albums, but did produce a charting single with "Stuck on You", which reached #23 on Billboard's Alternative Songs Chart. The album was produced by Failure themselves in a process that took longer than their previous two albums, with one song being recorded and produced soon after being written, and repeating this process. Space-rock themes course through the album's lyrics, as well as various indirect references to drug addiction, drug-related experiences, and prostitution. Seven of the album's songs were also included on Failure's Essentials, a best-of collection from 2006.
In 2009, JustPressPlay named Fantastic Planet the third best album of the 1990s. They also ranked the song "The Nurse Who Loved Me" at #10 in its list of the Top 100 Songs of the 1990s.

Famous quotes containing the words fantastic and/or planet:
“Fruits are acceptable gifts, because they are the flower of commodities, and admit of fantastic values being attached to them. If a man should send to me to come a hundred miles to visit him, and should set before me a basket of fine summer-fruit, I should think there was some proportion between the labor and the reward.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Spring is strong and virtuous,
Broad-sowing, cheerful, plenteous,
Quickening underneath the mould
Grains beyond the price of gold.
So deep and large her bounties are,
That one broad, long midsummer day
Shall to the planet overpay
The ravage of a year of war.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
