Fantastic Planet is the third album by the American alternative rock band Failure, released on August 13, 1996, by Slash Records and Warner Bros. Records. It was the last album released on Slash Records prior to its acquisition by London Recordings in 1996. The album was produced by Failure themselves in a process that took longer than their previous two albums, with each song being recorded and produced soon after being written. Space rock themes are present in the lyrics, as well as various indirect references to drug addiction, drug-related experiences, and prostitution. The album is cyclical, in that the chiming sound effect which ends the final track "Daylight" begins the opening track "Saturday Saviour", and was the beginning of a system of numerically designated segues in Failure's studio work, which would continue on later albums. Despite receiving critical acclaim, the album failed to make an appearance on the Billboard 200 chart, but it did produce a charting single with "Stuck on You", which reached No. 23 on Billboard's Alternative Songs Chart. Seven of the album's songs were also included on Failure's Essentials, a best-of collection from 2006. Fantastic Planet would be Failure's last studio album for nineteen years until the release of The Heart Is a Monster (2015).
