Hum - Inlet (June 23, 2020) Album • Page 4

Okay... The Summoning is the one for now. I didn't know I was craving this much sludginess.

 

please do, for me

start with Fantastic Planet. it's a masterpiece

 

The end of Shapeshifter is lovely

 

I’ve seen the album art more times than I can count, it’s about time I check them out. Just finished this Hum record so I’ll throw it on now

 

Yeah Failure is great and I recommend their newer albums too. It's a shame the latest felt lowkey due to releasing it as three separate EPs. They managed to expand on the Fantastic Planet sound, while giving them a distinct feel, all while sounding like they never left. That's how you pull off a comeback.

 

the whole album is great, but if I could posit my opinion a bit: I think the latter portion is by far the strongest, so don't give up if it's not your thing at first. godspeed

 

This is good to hear because I’m 3 tracks in and really liking it so far

 

nice. wait until you get to Pillowhead

 

Oh this nice

 

Failure are, strictly performance wise, easily a top 5 live band I’ve ever seen

 

Yeah this whole album is great. The last four tracks are my favorite.

 

awesome!

 

Not to pile on the Failure tangent, but... their last one in 2018 is the best post-long hiatus record I've ever heard. It's literally as good as Fantastic Planet while being completely different. You really can't do comebacks any better than what they've pulled off.

Inlets is only growing on me so far, and I think it's going to get unanimous praise, but it's clearly much safer stylistically than what Failure pulled off.

FWIW, everyone into Hum should check out the Shiner LP that was mentioned earlier... yet another 20-year comeback that doesn't disappoint at all: http://shinerkc.bandcamp.com/

Hilarious to think what fans of this sub-genre would've thought back around 00-02, after these bands had died off prematurely, if you'd told them all 3 would be going hard 20 years later

 

still can't really wrap my head around this. like, this RIPS.

 

people: Hum are making a new album! I wonder if they will expand on the more mellow aspects of their previous sound, since they’re 20 years older

Matt Talbott: n o

 

good ones

I would add MBV & Celtic Frost

 

they really didn't miss a beat with this

 

same. wanted a shirt but the design was pretty meh

 

yes

 

Does anyone have the DIH repress? Probably going to pull the trigger, but that $47.50 price is tough for me

 

Where you see it for that much?

 

Downward is Heavenward Re-issue - 180g Blue Vinyl

 

A steal!

 

honestly don't really love DIH but YPAA and Elektra 2000 are extremely my shit

 

Oh man, I think DIH is my favorite. One of two CDs I played over and over in my first car. "Apollo" is beautiful
