"22 years in the making! Huge surprise finding out about this comeback album by Hum. It's really good! Its a more epic version of themselves. Like a darker more progressive version of themselves."  Reply

"Not really my thing, but thought I'd give it a listen, some good tracks early on, loses its way in the middle and nice calming track at the end. Not sure if Ill listen to any more of there music."  Reply

"I like every song on this album. The watery production is nice and Mick Jenkins brings lyrics and flow onto every track. My only gripe is that there is too much water. I get that water is knowledge, nourishment for the soul, etc but I don't need 15 tracks driving the same water metaphors. It's ju..."  [+]  Reply
