Hum - Inlet (June 23, 2020) Album • Page 19

Figured I'd share this here after I just revisited it since jamming this album today. Zach does an incredible job covering In The Den. Not only that, but his channel is guitar tone goodness.

Also, If you're into Hum style guitar tones, check out his band, Naked Pictures. Their album WIDE is really good.

don't sleep

 

Man I've seen so many Hum bootlegs over the last few years I'm not even sure that cracks my top 5 haha

 

And to think people wouldn’t have to make bootlegs at all if their official merch didn’t look like T-shirts you would get at a zoo gift shop

 

Apparently before he passed Bryan formed a band and recorded an album that Matt produced. Full thing due out April 5th:

Amblare "Amblare" LP

 

pretty damn good song

 

Woe

 

Definitely interested in that. Assumed Inlet was his last work

 

Out today!

 

Excited to listen to that and as must be said every time this thread gets bumped, this is still one of the most surprising and excellent albums of the 2020s so far

 

Looking forward to listening to that album. And yeah I hadn’t listened to Hum before this album in 2020, but Inlet has become an all-timer for me. Simply fantastic

 

Inlet is incredible. One of my all time favorite vinyl listening experiences.

 

I think I prefer Astronaut and DIH BUT that takes absolutely nothing away from it, three absolutely stellar records

 

I would probably call this a top 5 album of all time

 

See, I could even agree with that while preferring the two before lol. Band is just on another level

 

I don't think I've heard a better song than Shapeshifter yet.

 

the only songs that might be better than shapeshifter are also on this album

 

if I had to pick one step into you is my top pick on the album but waves and shapeshifter are close. in the den and desert rambler not far behind either

 

This thread is the only place where I read people talk about this album and I think, "Whoa settle down guys."

The Summoning's the one though. That riff in the middle: occasionally I want it in my ears, I type it in on Spotify, and have to be confronted with the Sleep Token song. But it's worth it.

 

I will never settle down

 

It's so hard to choose, so many brilliant songs on this album. I just think the last 3 minutes of Shapeshifter are my favorite in the whole Hum discography. I can't sing along to those final lines without getting choked up.

 

but the summoning is also one of the best you’re right there that riff is a monster

 

Shapeshifter is the kind of closer with an ending that makes me start the album again when it’s over

 

"Folding" is also very good
