My First Time Listening to Downward Is Heavenward by Hum | My Reaction

[@darkeviljaxson]

Its so wild knowing there are only like a hundred other people in the entire world who like this album as much as I do. HUM is forever the most unique and beautiful band Ive ever heard.

[@egodormiosedcormeumvigilat4353]

I am in this same small family. Hum is my all-time favorite band - why aren’t they universally beloved?

[@KyleS.1987]

Maybe my favorite album of all time. These guys are so underrated.

[@mollyesanborn]

Such an amazing record! I'm so glad that I finally got around to hearing this one.

[@TheAncientEmo]

16:33 - Appolo is about Matt's relationship with his wife and her frustrations with him going on tour all the time. Matt's been married to his wife throughout most of his life which is likely one of the reasons Hum didn't pursue their music career further. All the guys in Hum really wanted to live ordinary lives and I don't think they ever imagined that they'd reach such stardom. Also to note track #3 (If you are to bloom) is about Matt's child that was born stillborn, the songs about him coping with the loss of his child. This subject matter is touched on more in a song called "The Same Place" by his other band Centaur.

[@decemberstragicdrive]

i thought DiH was made before that whole mess happened? that it happened during the recording of the Centaur record?

[@swagothemonkey6959]

Howd you find this out

[@dependenceday5865]

Really recommend listening to the outtakes “Puppets” and “Aphids”. Absolutely excellent cuts that I am in absolute disbelief as to how they weren’t put on an album

[@airwaydude014]

The greatest Hum album ever imo. Afternoon with the Axolotls just speaks for itself, glad to see you enjoyed this one!

[@mollyesanborn]

Thanks for checking out the reaction! Great album, Hum really set a beautiful tone across this record and I love how they blend the intensity and the softness so well.

I agree too...Hum in their best form.

​@@Sheer_Kold i agree, their best

[@deckofcards87]

Wow, I didn't expect a reaction to Hum but soo happy you did this! We appreciate that you select more obscure stuff and not just what's trending. That's cool. "Inlet" from 2020 is a must as well. Hum had a 21 year hiatus, it just kind of came out of nowhere and was a pleasant surprise! If you're still taking requests, I want to suggest Elastica's debut "Elastica" from '95, a seminal album from the Britpop era they were huge here in the UK.

[@mollyesanborn]

Yeah Hum is great, I've really enjoyed what I've heard from them so far! I'll definitely have to give Inlet a listen as well at some point. And I'm always taking more suggestions, I'll make sure that Elastica is on my list :)

[@mumbles1015]

Inlet was great, I was listening to it while driving and realized I was lost in space. I refuse to listen to that one while driving anymore. Haha

[@ilyas_elouchihi]

Totally agree, their best work by far

[@mollyesanborn]

Yes, great comment! They balance their sound on this record beautifully, the dynamic between soft and restrained and then the flood of heaviness comes rushing in is so good. At times I felt like I was completely surrounded by sound when listening to this record.

[@DerGeek]

One of my favorite albums and reactors, well done and would suggest catching them live. It's an experience!

[@mollyesanborn]

Thanks so much for checking out the reaction! I'd love to catch Hum live one of these days and hear some of these tracks in person. Must be pretty incredible.

[@JAP-td5ot]

Inlet, please!!! That album I thought was amazing. If you love the atmosphere that hum creates, definitely should check out inlet. Only difference is, that album is polished but sounds amazing!!! Keep up the reviews!

Saw them perform about 10 years ago, they played the album entirely and it was ethereal. Top 5 concerts I've ever seen.

[@locustkllr]

So glad you made it to this album, just one of the best.

[@mollyesanborn]

Yeah I'm so happy I've finally heard this one! It's been on my list for so long too. But a fantastic album, I love how Hum blends a lot of contrasting elements together so beautifully.

[@DemiseUnseen]

Awesome reaction Molly, thank you for sharing. Always have had a soft spot for HUM. I was so fortunate to see them live 9 years ago, it was amazing. For any fans out there that may not know, they have a website with a bunch of free songs to download, including a bunch of unreleased music. One of them: "Boy with stick" is an incredible sound and atmosphere. Probably my fav song. You rock Molly!

[@mollyesanborn]

Yeah Hum are fantastic, they've got such a well developed sound on these two albums that I've heard from them. That's cool they've got some 'hidden tracks' I guess you'd call them for their fans, I'll have to check out their website.

[@michamikoajczyk4779]

[@maxiguess2291]

More Hum! I hope you do a video for their last album!

[@dollarsaurus01]

One of those rare albums that scratches every conceivable itch for good rock music from this time period. You can listen to it 100 times and still catch new sounds and details you’ve never noticed before. Hum reached Radiohead-level brilliance here, it’s still so massively underrated

[@barrynapier7584]

Yeeeessss!!!! So glad you finally got this! The next album (their last) in a 10/10 for me.

[@JKBarker101]

Fantastic choice as always! Love how you brought up them doing so much with so little, to me that sums up what makes the alternative music around this time so great! Using production and guitar effects to build an atmosphere that makes that “beautiful sludge” sound Another more modern band that could be described that way is Kylesa (kinda like a more psychedelic Mastodon) - Spiral Shadow is a great album to check out :)

[@mollyesanborn]

That beautiful sludge sound is brilliant, I love what Hum manages to pull off with their sound. They blend a lot of very opposing elements together and blend it all so perfectly. I'll have to make sure I've got Kylesa on my list to check out as well, thanks!

The block of videos from like 1am-4am, when they played the weird shit. Anyway, heard Stars and fell in love with it.

Great album. Compared to You'd Prefer an Astronaut, the band slowed down the pace a bit, adding more atmospherics to the sound, resulting in the abrasive but beautifully graceful nature of the album. Afternoon With The Axolotls, Green to Me & Apollo are my favorites. It's a shame that the album went completely unnoticed, which ultimately led to Hum's breakup. I was so glad when they finally released something new. Inlet is an awesome record as well.
