By Denise FalzonCanadian women of metal Kittie have returned with their new album I've Failed You. The record marks the quartet's most personal and emotional release to date, while maintaining their classic heaviness and aggression. Listen to it for yourselves with our advance stream of the entire album.
I've Failed You is Kittie's sixth full-length since forming in 1996 and is the follow-up to their 2009 album In the Black, which the band describe as the release that "refocused their sound." The upcoming LP is also their second album with eOne Music and was produced by Siegfried "Siggy" Meier at Beach Road Studios in Goderich, ON. Meier also worked with Kittie on 2001's Oracle, as well as on In the Black.
eOne Music will release I've Failed You on August 30, but the album can be streamed in its entirety right now exclusively on Exclaim.ca. Check it out below.

Posted by Nameless Poseur On 2011-08-23 18:22:02I hope is their last CD because this band is miserable and they sound like hannah montana on her period.

Posted by Nameless Poseur On 2011-08-23 20:12:04Awesome! This is Kittie's best material to date.
Posted by Nameless Poseur On 2011-08-23 21:02:52Fuck 'em if they won't play thier old shit! I'd like to go to the show, But they think they are too good for thier old stuff...
Posted by Nameless Poseur On 2011-08-23 21:57:16The only old stuff they avoid is from Spit and I don't blame them. Great album BTW!
Posted by Nameless Poseur On 2011-08-23 23:29:45I haven't even listened to this all the way, but I can already tell it's the fuckin' shit. Haha. I love Kittie
Posted by Nameless Poseur On 2011-08-24 03:26:34Awesome!!! I love you Morgan!!!
Posted by Nameless Poseur On 2011-08-24 10:04:58If you were just released from prison after about 20 years of solitary confinement, this album would own; it's completely unoriginal and unexciting. It sounds like Kill Em' All era thrash meets Early Man riffs with Morgan singing over them. If it weren't for Spit, this band wouldn't have a name or face.

Posted by Nameless Poseur On 2011-08-24 16:10:05My only complaint would be that it is only 11 tracks--- 36Mins long.... for a era of only cd's that can hold nearly 80 mins.... i'm getting really tired of bands that can't even put out at least 14 tracks. Having said that these songs are great, just wish there was more to enjoy.
Posted by Nameless Poseur On 2011-08-24 17:20:44stop hating
Posted by Nameless Poseur On 2011-08-24 17:42:40shut the fuck up u annoying ass piece of shit
Posted by Nameless Poseur On 2011-08-24 17:44:57jesus christ this suck blows whale ass. how the fuck can ANYONE call this music?
Posted by Nameless Poseur On 2011-08-24 17:45:17^shit
Posted by Nameless Poseur On 2011-08-24 20:53:41I'm a big Kittie fan, but this album was disappointing. Best song was definately Empires Pt. 2.
Posted by Nameless Poseur On 2011-08-25 16:44:27LOVE WE R THE LAMB-BUT IN WHOLE I LIKED IN THE BLACK BETTER-STILL-THEY ARE INFUCKINGCREDIBLE
Posted by Nameless Poseur On 2011-08-25 16:59:52and whats the problem with their old stuff?brackish,charlotte,johnny,choke.....fantastic metal-orgies...they were just young-but still good
Posted by Nameless Poseur On 2011-08-26 08:21:57Fuck the haters, this album hits you like a steel toe boot to the nuts. Gets better with each listen!
Posted by Nameless Poseur On 2011-08-26 09:55:11wow, I love how all these haters have any knowledge whatsoever about what it's like to actually make music. Real music, versus pop friendly money hungry radio music. As far as their old stuff, how often do you re read shit you wrote in high school in public as your own now? They've grown better with each album, and they work their asses off. Wtf is wrong with that? I give these grrrlz mad respect and loyalty for sticking with it and ripping the walls off the boundries placed on them...and mostly for continueing to live what they love...music. This album was worth every excrutiating minute I had to wait for it!
Posted by Nameless Poseur On 2011-08-26 21:03:06the cd is fresh. whisper of death best song. keep up the good work ladies

Posted by Nameless Poseur On 2011-08-27 04:33:23wow ...that's a lot of comments by the same person!

Posted by Nameless Poseur On 2011-08-29 12:46:16I love Kittie for a long time, but this album is crap, Only 3 good song ...
Posted by Nameless Poseur On 2011-08-29 22:06:35I want them in my mouth now.
Posted by Nameless Poseur On 2011-08-30 10:49:51kittie the shit
Posted by Nameless Poseur On 2011-08-30 16:36:39i love.
Posted by Nameless Poseur On 2011-08-31 16:46:14my name is katherine , ive been listening to kittie since album ONE , and well they have come along way , i loved in the black and anyone who listened to funeral for yesterday has to agree it was TRASH so not them , but they most def redeemed them selfs with "in the black " .... and only listening to 2 songs on this albums the first song , is point less and kinda boring ! the second song nice beat to it ! still sucked , wisper of death has been a pleasure listening to ! its more like in the black album ! , i have to say i love them but i also expect them to maintain there work and NOT then let it go .....
Posted by Nameless Poseur On 2011-09-01 11:50:42This album is very solid, guitar-wise. Mercedes drumming style is becoming repetitive and could seriously use some more skill. I wonder if they would ever consider Mr. Jordison to do an album with them as a session drummer.
Posted by Nameless Poseur On 2011-09-01 12:28:18I've been a Kittie fan for 12 years, and I must say this is their worst album to date. With the improvement I heard in In The Black, I was anticipating that this album would be even better so you can imagine my disappointment after hearing this album. I've always felt that Morgan's fault lied mainly in her inability to write decent melodic vocal parts. Like in Funeral for Yesterday, she's back to doing songs where she mainly sings (to my disdain). The music is repetitive and slow on this album excluding the track "I've Failed You" (I actually like that song). But all that matters is that there are actually people who like this shit, so good for Kittie.
Posted by Nameless Poseur On 2011-09-01 12:33:21Mercedes! What happened? I used to like your drumming but this stuff is so simple and repetitive! And Tara! What happened to your awesome solos? These solo's suck! Morgan! You started using a little style in your voice in In The Black, you're back to your old bland signing! Bad Kitties....... Crappy album girls.....
Posted by Nameless Poseur On 2011-09-01 14:05:29Obviously most of you haters seem to be the type who only enjoys the mainstream, money-grubbing sluts they slap on the radio and tell you has talent...and I'm here to tell you that almot all of it requires no talent whatsoever. However, Kittie has had much talent since 1996, and thi album is very good. I'll admit, In The Black was better, but this one is almost as good in my honest opinion. Tara's solos tend to be a bit longer on this album AND more complex than ITB's. My only complaint is the runtime, it's not long enough for me, I hate half-hour albums.
Posted by Nameless Poseur On 2011-09-02 09:37:14The commenter above is a living contradiction... They start off their ramble with "Obviously most of you haters seem to be the type who only enjoys the mainstream..." and so on, then ends off with "I hate half-hour albums."
So if you "hate" half hour albums, why are you expressing your "hate" on this wall? Most of the intelligible comments on here, ones with actual thought put behind it, aren't hating. Maybe disappointed that some of the songs aren't as solid as they could be. There's plenty to love about this album and very few complaints.
I usually like their albums better after I see them play live. I'm hoping when they come back around in December they play "Ugly" cuz that's going to some serious chaos in the pit!! m/
Posted by LeeLee On 2011-09-02 22:24:53Great work Tara! This is a great album! Im gonna see them on the 7th in Houston Tx. And i don't care if they play old shit or not! I just wanna hear Tara play them purdy solos! God Bless Kittie!
Posted by Nameless Poseur On 2011-09-09 11:29:29Just gave this album a second chance and listened to it in its entirety... just as bad the second time....
Posted by Nameless Poseur On 2011-09-23 00:14:47So far ll crap... jus say, made it to track 7, we'll see about the rest... man and i used to LOVE them, im forever old skool kittie, sorry girls, ive always loved you but once you lost Falon and Talena i just didnt know what to do, Hope u come out with somethin better in the future
