Hum - Inlet (June 23, 2020) Album • Page 10

I was thinking this. A lot on here is quite "simple" as you say, but the work as a whole elevates it.

 

eh, i disagree. i don’t think failures second album back got much hype but i also think that’s bc 3/4 of the album was released ahead of time through EPs. heart is a monster and their tour for it was pretty big though.

 

I liked a few songs from this band going into this but absolutely love this album front to back, "Folding" is definitely one of the best songs I have heard this year, "Step into You" and "Cloud City" are other favs at the moment

 

just listened to Downward for the first time and adored it. "Apollo" is somethin else wow

 

I absolutely love the second half of Step Into You

 

7.8 on Pitchfork

 

not high enough, but glad it got the positive coverage

 

7.8 on Pitchfork is like at least a 9 in real terms.

 

A lot of my favorite records have gotten 7.8s is this a meme at this point

 

it's the score they give records that they know are great but they can't bear with the shame of being seen giving a "commercial rock record" an 8+

 

Love the little high riff in the verse of Folding so much.

 

Desert Rambler's still the one for me. So huge.

 

Don’t post in the music forums much anymore, but felt inclined to come in here to say this album fucking rules. Never listened to this band before (at least not knowingly), but I love this and am looking forward to listening to other bands mentioned in this thread like Failure and Shiner

 

The more I listen to this album, the more I wouldn't be that bothered if Step Into You wasn't on it. It's a good song but the album wouldn't lose anything without it either.

 

Hard disagree

 

Yeah that might be my favorite lol, definitely more traditionally structured compared to most of the other songs on here but love the lead/solo riff at the end so much and the lyrics are very strong as well

 

what a take

 

why have a 7 song Hum album when you could have an 8 song Hum album

 

why ______ when you could _______

 

"step into you" is fucking amazing

 

Oh why don't you all fucking marry it then?!

No seriously, I really like it. It's just easily the most dispensable song on here to me.

 

YPAA was 9 songs, DIH was 10, this was 8, so by my calculations we’re only a few records away from them making their Dopesmoker

 

I’m all for it

 

Oh man....yes.

 

Desert Rambler, man
