The first two records are replicas of the band's two studio albums, The Power of Failing and EndSerenading. The third, ...And What Remains, is a new collection of singles and demos. A booklet by Nina Corcoran traces the band's history and is illustrated with period photographs, flyers and lyrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMineral began in Texas in 1994 with Chris Simpson on guitar and vocals, Scott McCarver on guitar, Jeremy Gomez on bass and Gabriel Wiley on drums, and signed a three-album deal with Crank!. The Power of Failing was recorded between January and October 1996 at Music Lane Recording Studios in Austin. The LP here carries the album's full ten-song program, including \"80-37\" and \"Take The Picture Now,\" which were left off the original vinyl issue. Pitchfork's Brandon Stosuy wrote that \"its raw feel and execution matches its emotions.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe band played its final show in 1997. EndSerenading arrived on August 25, 1998, after the split: the four recorded basic tracks before a tour, and Simpson later went out alone to finish most of the vocals and some guitar, knowing it would be the band's last release. Simpson and Gomez went on to form The Gloria Record, and McCarver and Wiley formed Imbroco. ...And What Remains gathers both sides of the 1996 February \/ M.D. single and Love My Way, alongside a demo of \"Slower\" and alternate versions of \"Five, Eight And Ten,\" \"Gloria\" and \"Parking Lot.\" Mineral reunited in 2014 and disbanded again in 2025, closing with a set at the Best Friends Forever festival in Las Vegas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc 1: The Power of Failing — Side A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive, Eight And Ten\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGloria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDolorosa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e80-37\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc 1: The Power of Failing — Side B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col start=\"6\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf I Could\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJuly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake The Picture Now\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParking Lot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc 2: EndSerenading — Side C\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col start=\"11\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove Letter Typewriter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePalisade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGJS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnfinished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor Ivadell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc 2: EndSerenading — Side D\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col start=\"16\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaking To Winter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Letter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSounds Like Sunday\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u0026amp;Serenading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Last Word Is Rejoice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc 3: ...And What Remains — Side E\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col start=\"21\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSadder Star\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFebruary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM.D.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrazy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRubber Legs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc 3: ...And What Remains — Side F\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col start=\"26\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove My Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlower (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive, Eight And Ten (Alternate Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGloria (Alternate Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParking Lot (Alternate Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 825764123433\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Numero\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.20.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Numero Group","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":48275357401246,"sku":"EVP-146EBC70-NEW-NEW-NONE0000","price":87.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/mineral-might-as-well-be-here-palisade-green-box-set-packshot.jpg?v=1792127332","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/mineral-might-as-well-be-here-palisade-green-box-set","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
