Can we just appreciate Hum and other bands coming back from 15-20 year breaks and extending our adolescence and young adulthood just for a little while?

This album was an instant classic. RIP to their drummer Bryan St Pere, who passed away last summer.

Shoegaze and Space Rock blends so well, best comeback album ever. RIP Bryan St. Pere.

No way!! HUM?!?! This album came out at the height of covid in 2020 and literally became the soundtrack to the rest of that year for me. Such a mood. Was nice to hear those guys after 22 years

Hum's music always has these waves of sounds The Deftones did say they were one of their musical influences especially on their more atmospheric tracks.

The Summoning on that album is also incredible

Yay! Another Hum reaction! Your favorite song by Hum, even though you haven’t heard it yet, is “Afternoon With the Axolotls.” I would call it perfect engineering.

I'M SO GLAD YOU LISTENED TO THIS SONG! Inlet was my favorite album of 2020, and this is my favorite song off it. The sound you're hearing is actually guitar. They like to do some really cool guitar effects, especially on this album. 🤟🤟

This song made me a Hum fan. Heard “Stars” and the others off that album but once I heard this specific song made me download every song they’ve ever put out.

Not a bad song on this entire album, Hum will always be awesome

Never heard of this band before. And I am digging that song.

Hum came back and dropped their best album. You gotta love it.

This song and album was a soundtrack through the middle of Covid.

The outro riff... my God, one of my favourite pieces of music ever.

Oh man!!! Can’t believe you’re checking Hum’s new stuff out! Love these guys. Such a treasure. This whole album is a masterpiece.

This track is so phenomenal. This album was my favorite of 2020 and helped get me through the lockdowns. Those guitar sounds are so satisfying.

This will be one of those time capsule albums. Almost perfect

Production-wise, their previous album Downward is Heavenward is their best, and their best album overall, IMO. I like this album, but I still like their previous album more, which I think is an absolute hidden gem of the '90s.

I'd love to see your take on anything from their album Downward is Heavenward especially a song like If You Are to Bloom or Dreamboat

A HUM reaction!! I can't believe it!! This band got me through high school in the 90s. Always loved their guitar sound.

You should do "Afternoon with the Axolotls" by Hum, great song, lots to pick through.

I remember getting a sampler CD back in the 90’s with them on it. I was Immediately attracted to their sound back then.

As others have mentioned this was from a superb comeback album Inlet from 2020, their first in 22 years! I only got into Hum last year; hearing their one "hit" song Stars and loved it. In all my 40 years I'd never heard or heard of them before, I don't think they ever got played much in Australia, probably only on Triple J (which I only started listening to in 1997). So I got the You'd Prefer An Astronaut album, which was alright but nothing on it was as good as Stars. But then I saw they had released a new album not long ago and I had a listen to it and it quickly became my favourite album of the last few years; they had leaned more into the shoegaze/space rock sound and every song worked and flowed perfectly into the next. I also really like Downward Is Heavenward but have found it nigh on impossible to find on cd.

Wow! Hell yeah! Love this album and Hum to death and what a comeback this album was in 2020! Unreal looking back that we got this gem of an album along with both new Deftones and Loathe in the same year! This is definitely my favorite off this album as well along with Cloud City and Summoning 💜 RIP Bryan 😭💜

Thanks for covering this band again! I'll suggest The Pod for your next Hum video. This is a good album, and a good track selection. Desert Rambler is another to try from Inlet. Nice observations of the shoegaze infused rock these guys bring.

Yes more Hum! Would love to see some Duster/Helvetia or Lush on this channel.

This album I think kept me alive during Quarantine. It was a life line for me when I was feeling at my lowest. Waves, Folding and Desert Rambler are my favorites. Thank you for reviewing In The Den.

I. Fucking. LOVE. Hum. Been a massive fan since their album "You'd Prefer an Astronaut". Another under-appreciated 90's band.❤❤🤘🤘

Now you should definitely check out some Failure songs!

I got a suggestion for you. Band: Hangman’s Chair Song: Who Wants to Die Old Imagine Deftones as an 80’s band with a dash of The Clash

Hum is one of the best bands ever. I love these guys.

Thank you Geebz

Inlet is one of the few albums that I like well enough to put on and listen from start to finish. Before this Album I had never listened to these Cats. Glad YT recommended it to me and I actually gave it a chance. Kind of like when I heard October Rust from Type O for the first time only 7 or 8 years ago and have been listening to them just about nonstop ever since. Makes me wonder how much incredible music is out there that will never reach my ears so I don’t even know that it exists. Anyway, I’m glad at least that I have discovered this and will keep searching for more. I’ve been told that I would really like Radiohead but still have never checked them out. Cheers and Happy Halloween to everyone!

I love this song so much. Props to you, Geebz!

HUM is glorious. I love them

One of the best bands that have ever walked the face of the earth

Another great choice! Awesome song!!!!

Aloha, y'all. Love from their home of Champaign-Urbana. ❤🌌🤘

Such a damn good album! This is my absolute favorite on the album. If you haven’t already please listen to the whole LP. I gave a guitar lesson on this track

You'd Prefer an Astronaut was my shit at age 17 and this album is my shit at age 45. 20+ years was worth the wait.

"stars" off the Youd prefer an Astronaut" album is outstanding!

Your description at the end was just great! A Glide ride to clear your mind!

Such a good song, my favorite from that album.

Still remember stars at 2am on MTV. Please dive into Drive like Jehu next, anything from yank crimes.

Yo geebz love your work and I just realized I've been missing out on your vids this is my favorite band and I love seeing the reactions try out their other albums too

I know a lot of other people have said it but please react to afternoon with the axolotls/or dreamboat by these guys!!!

Thank you for this! Hum is one of my favorite bands of all time, and when I found out that they had released this album (a year after the fact), I immediately bought it and was almost in tears of joy listening to it. Would love to see you react to some of their stuff off of Downward is Heavenward (one of my all time favorite albums period), but happy to watch you listen to anything by them!

This track reminds me of the one-man band, Cloudkicker.

Great track. This is probably the best album I’ve heard in the last 10 -15 years

I'm glad I can say I've been listening to these guys since 95.

hum is great. 'downward is heavenward' is filled w bangers. so thrilled to see you digging them.

Got to see these guys in late 90's. Back then they were indy/emo. Much like Far,Sunny Day Real Estate, and Juno. Chino from Deftones got me into them. He said they were a Fav with the band. Can you hear the influence? Almost sounds like Stephen on guitar here.

I love that this band has returned after so many years, sounding like there was never a break in their sound. Such focus! Please review "Mindray" from Lusk. I would love to hear your take on this song!!

Fantastic album Geebz! 🤙

I'd love to see what you think of Step into You

Hum is really good. Also checkout Hopesfall. Their arbiter album is a straight banger. Love space rock

Geebz and his banging tunes at the moment!! That playlist is looking good. Great tune and new band to me. Please check The rat by The Walkmen, if you like that genre I think The rat is one of the best! 🤘🏼🌸🌸

You really need to check out Cynic's "The Space For This"....incredible musicianship.

I turn ppl onto HUMs first album every chance I get.

perfect reaction! these guys are such a huge influence on me as a musician. please do more! you should also check out 'the life and times', and 'holy fawn'

So cool to see another great Hum reaction! I recommend checking out their songs If You Are To Bloom or Isle of the Cheetah from the album they did before this one.

Hearing Hum always make me want to listen to Sparta , wiretap scars.. both great bands

Top 10 album! Every song is fkn goooooood!

HUM!!!! Please react to "An evening with the acolytes" next, off of their album "Downward is heavenward" - It's their best one ;)

see ya!

Any plans on checking out a track from the new elder album soon? Catastasis or endless return 🙏🏼

the father of deftones

def the fans lol seen no clean vocal metal bands dragged as mall metal (early parkway drive, august burns red)

It makes me think of Floor. The guitar tone sounds like old Smashing Pumpkins to me.

🖤

Sir what dictates a genre is the bands that are such behemoths such class acts that they determine what they are Think Pantera Meshuggah Korn Deftones Dance Gavin dance Avenged sevenfold Isis Ect ect Once they have paved that lane all other bands must label themselves such unless they can pave a niche a cut above the rest for themselves.

First, thank you for the song. Great to listen to your thoughts and breakdown. Second, I checked your twitch vods and I can't see any parts where twitch has muted your content. (It'll appear as red when you rewatch the saved recordings, aka vods) This is most likely because the video game music you listened to isn't secured by a label enforcing copyright. When playing Metal music, you're much more likely to run into muted Vods and copyright issues. I guess what I'm saying is get to know who owns the rights of the songs you play on Twitch as some companies are more vicious than others. You can always stream on youtube. I'm unsure if live streaming copyright works is the same as uploading videos for youtube. Maybe you could do heavy metal on the Key of Geebz youtube and video game ost on the Twitch channel? Sorry just trying to give a heads up on my twitch viewing experience.

I like a Hum I like a Curve I like a Cranes

bell-bottoms happened because of shoegaze...yeah, stop staring at my shoes . . hehe

Good breakdown. I do like some shoegazey music. I know you get a lot of requests, and I know you prioritize patreon requests, but do yourself a favor and check out Satsui - Geshi No Ato, by the band Sigh. The song is right here. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iMyDicRy0qu6YIk.html Truly a mesmerizing, elaborate, playful but aggressive composition that goes in so many directions.

They are good but their no Wolves in the Throne Room

Coldplay - Fix You (Official Video) react please💜💜💙💙

Sounds like it was recorded in a aluminum can filled with mud 🤔

NICE. Watching this now. Curious to see how you feel about them. Love this album!
