Hum’s drummer passed recently. Rest In Peace Bryan St Pere. Best band ever.
Man, I didnt know that. I have loved this album since it first came out
Oh no shit. This guy was a beast on the drums. Perfect timing.
Shit no way 🤮. He was young
RIP BSP
Most understated, humble, powerful band of gentlemen. Seen them 5 times and each was worth it.
There second major label release Downward is Heavenward is an absolute masterpiece
I love this one, but their follow up Downward is Heavenward is probably my favorite music album of all time. Love this band so much, and the album they dropped last year was really good too.
Afternoon with the axolotyls will send you to another dimension.
This is my favorite band of all time, and I absolutely loved DIH, but nothing can top YPAA. Perhaps it's because I listened to YPAA hundreds upon hundreds of times before DIH came out, or maybe because DIH wasn't nearly as heavy as YPAA. Either way, both great albums.
@jeremyc9593 y'know what's heavier? Electra 2000. Nobody ever talks about that album and i think it's really solid if you like the heavy side of Hum.
One of the best underrated albums of the 90s. Chino has specifically mentioned this album as one of Deftones influences. This album has a weird effect of making me drowsy and also perking me up. For a long time I used to have this on sleep timer to fall asleep to and also as my alarm to wake me up. Funnily enough they just released a new album last year after only 2 previous albums in the 90s.
They did three albums in the 90s I though…?
@@MorgansTrainClips Yes they had 1 album prior to this one called Electra 2000, though almost no one knows about it. It's not as good as their later work but definitely worth checking out.
@@andrewgarrison7485 I would like to correct myself. Prior to Electra2000, they had another album entitled Filet Show, from 1991. Not sure why it isn’t on streaming, but my best guess would be issues with the record label, or the band being embarrassed by its admittedly underdeveloped sound. So through out the 1990s, the band actually released a total of 4 studio albums, adding up to 5 in total
@@MorgansTrainClips Tim wasn't in the band in 1991
@@adderon I don’t see how that is relevant at all to what I said but okay
One of my favorite bands off all time, happy to see you react to them! :)
Great review of one of my most favourite and little known albums.
Sweredriver is another overlooked shoegaze band with a straightforward rock bent, I think u would like. The 1993 release, Mezcal Head, contains their best song writing, excellent guitar work and lush sounds.
Cheers
Yea but if you're talking about Swervedriver it's gotta be raise
I may sound petty, but my favorite lyrics on this album are, “you’re a waste of a song, you’re a waste of my lungs.” What a burn!
Please continue with Hum’s discography like you did with deftones!! Downward is Heavenward is one of my favorite albums of all time.
By the way, a other influence of Chino's, as well as a frequent collaborator, is Far. Another mid nineties indie sleeper whose singer still or used to live next door to Chino. The two bands together covered Savory by Jawbox.
Growing up, my Dad was a sales manager for a foodservice distributor. He travelled a LOT. But when he got home he brought with him new albums. Among them were the likes of 'Siamese Dream,' 'Pablo Honey,' and this one. Many a Saturday morning I was awoken to '...Astronaut' blasted through huge speakers in our home in the suburbs of Jackson, MS. Thanks for stirring the memory pot, Tony.
Devastated to hear that Bryan St. Pete recently passed. A monster drummer. Truly irreplaceable. Its time to really savour the entire Hum catalogue. Its sadly likely not going to get any bigger.
I recommended this album ages ago in one of your comment sections as an example of a shoegaze or shoegaze-ish band, glad you finally got to it and that you really enjoyed it.
hopefully Failure, Glassjaw, Far, and Nothing reactions are in the future too.
Fantastic Planet or Magnified would be great. Magnified is so good
"extremely long albums to come" I can't be more hyped!
What the heck I didnt know people actually cared about this album. One of my favourites from the 90s
People sure do care! It’s aged very well over the years, and still sounds fresh, new, and fairly unique despite the number of bands that they’ve influenced
I've been obsessed with this band, and particularly this album, ever since I saw them live in '96. Still my favorite band of all time.
Thanks for taking my suggestion!!!!!
also in terms of the vinyl, I know Matt was working on doing a remaster of this album for a new edition on vinyl/cd with bonus tracks. That last edition of the vinyl from like 10 years back isn't of high quality and wouldn't bother trying to track it down, just wait for the new editon.
Bryan St Pere used to beat the living dog crap out of his drum kit and never missed a beat. The wall of sound they made combined with Matt's almost bored sounding voice made for a unique sound.
I know I'm almost a year late, but this is one of the BEST records/recodings of the 90's
This made my day. So wonderful to watch someone have a similar reaction to this amazing record (and band). Thank you! Do check out their other albums if you get the chance! So grateful for their most recent one. (RIP BSP.)
Very influential band and album. Sadly their drummer Bryan St. Pere just passed away little bit over a week ago, RIP :(
You definitely shoukd react to Hum's Downward is Heavenward (one of the great releases of it's era), and Hum's latest collection Inlet, released last June. It could be one of the heaviest albums I've ever heard.
really hoping you check out Black Country, New Road seeing as they've just released a serious contender for album of the year
yes
Beautiful review of my all time favorite album. You captured and relayed the whole essence of it perfectly. Well done my man.
My absolute favorite band of all time! Love the reactions
I've spent 25 yrs with this album on my mind trying for words to sum up why it's my favorite and BOOM......"...and the only thing left is the foam" and there it is....in 2 mins he solved it. Well done, good sir!
Stars was an indie sleeper super hit. Nobody from gen x or y hasn't heard it. I was in a band that covered it. The breakdown is so much fun to play. I'd say the follow-up album, downward is heavenward, is arguably better in all respects but doesn't have the single anthems that this record has. But DiH qualifies for me at least as a perfect album. On this one, aside from the pod and stars, why I like the robins and on the next album, afternoon with the axolotls are my favorite tracks. It's great music for the autumn.
Their previous efforts before getting a record deal contained a lot of what you might consider practice for the various sound effects and motifs they later used in their professional albums. A lot of it was very weird and hard to listen to, notably a song called "time is melting" that is almost a drone with the washy warbly kind of sound from the first track on this album but without any real break or change. Definitely experimental before a label and producer got ahold of them and refined the sound.
Quicksand, Failure, Tad, Paw, Seam, Archers of Loaf, Built to Spill, Bitch Magnet, Swell, Helmet, Sebadoh are all good 90s bands
1. Finds out there is a reaction video.
2. Listens to that album all day.
3. Loves the album.
4. Watches the video.
5. Loves the album more.
6. Waiting for a new reaction video
My cycle too!
Looking good big guy, hope you’re well
I can't recommend enough their next album, Downward is Heavenward. For my money, it's the best album ever recorded that almost no one knows about and probably my favorite and most listen to of all time. After that one they went silent for two decades and just released their latest album last year, and it is also amazing and worth checking out. Great reaction/review sir!
Suicide machine is about watching the football game on a Sunday afternoon oddly enough. I'd love to see a reaction to their last album Inlet. Glad you're enjoying this as much as us Hum lovers always have.
Btw. Something I really appreciate about these reactions. So many that do this kind of thing only give their thoughts on the music. I'm glad you noticed how great of a lyricist Matt Talbot is. He's really good about bringing out emotion in his lyrics. His other band Centaur put out one album after Hum split after DIH. That album will have you feeling warm and fuzzy and lovey dovey one second then in tears the next. The song "thimbles" is about the loss of Matt's and his wives child to SIDS. The song is so beautiful but damn it makes me cry.
Deftones singer had HUM as on of his main influences!!!
This band influenced a TON of bands in the 90s. They had a reputation for being so loud that they sold fans earplugs at their shows.
What a thoughtful review of a fantastic piece of sonic art. Thank you.
Would love to see you react to Beck Mellow Gold
yes finally! Definitely one of my favourite bands, awesome reaction as always! :D
YES THANK YOU!!! Please listen to downward is heavenward next it's so good
i had the dumbest smile on my face this whole review, this is my favorite band of all time.
Holy shit! I really wasn’t expecting this reaction. Hum is my favourite band, and I’ve been listening to them a lot lately.
Edit: Great reaction!! I’m so glad you loved the album, and you touched upon everything that makes it so special. You should really check out their follow-up, Downward is Heavenward-in my opinion, it really builds upon what Hum did on YPAA and is even better. It just so happens to be my favourite album ever!
And the best thing is they're from my neck of the woods, sorta. (Central Illinois)
If you like Hum and Deftones, check out Satisfaction and 12th House Rock both by Narrow Head. Also then check out Bugg album by Bugg.
I'm here to ask for Failure again!
nice reaction man
"This Suicide Machine was built for two."
It's a song about being so comfortable with someone that you want to end up dying with them. That's why the song has such a comfortable feeling for such a morbid title. The majority of the lyrics were written about laying on the couch with his wife and watching football or whatever on TV and losing an entire day just being comfortable with each other just simply doing nothing.
It's a sweet, sweet love song at its core.
You need to check out Polvo if you like Sonic Youth / early Dinosaur Jr. Also Downward is Heavenward by Hum. R. I. P Brian
suicide machine was always my fav on that album
Your reactions are always great. Thanks for reacting to one of my favourite albums
Just found your channel, props for having both Radiohead and Lucy Rose on your door.
Yeessss!!!!
YES!!!!!
When you listen to I Hate It Too and say "and here we go"...you're experiencing the heavy side of HUM (what this band was before this album)
Consider my eyebrow raised. Definitely check out the next two albums as well. So good.
you compared the album to White Pony but whats super cool, is that Chino said that he was inspired by this album to make White Pony, You'd Prefer An Astronaut is 1995 and white pony is 2000
This came out 5 years before White Pony. They're both amazing perfect records. Do with that info what you will.
Definitely in my top 20 albums
A few suggestions I have for you:
Guided by Voices - Bee Thousand
Don Caballero - What Burns Never Returns
The Jesus Lizard - Goat
Black Country, New Road - For the first time
Hey man love the channel I highly recommend m b v by my bloody valentine it’s a bit different from loveless but also maintains that amazing sound and layered guitars . I hope you’re able to react to it some day cheers
Their new album is impeccable
HELL YES!!!!
This band’s sound also heavily influenced the Smashing Pumpkins, particularly on Siamese Dream. Not that Billy Corgan would ever admit it lol.
Side two of this album is one of the '90s finest.
That's right.
Side two.
as is side one of the CD.
Side two...slams and sways
Hum rules!
"Suicide Machine? Sounds pretty harsh."
That's why the suicide machine is built for two.
Hums Rules! ♥
React to Downard Is Heavenward its awesome
If you like HUM, check out their friends Love Cup!
love your videos keep it up!
When will the nick drake bryter layter reaction be out? Looking forward to it
You should react to another Sonic Youth album. I recommend EVOL or Sister if you react to EVOL you should listen to it on UA-cam rather than a streaming service as the streaming service version doesn’t have the masterpiece Expressway to Yr. Skull
Downward is Heavenward is very much worth a listen
You should listen to Swervedrivers raise If you like this it’s space travel rock and roll
Srsly. We need someone like Dave Grohl to name drop Hum and this album. I mostly listen to my library on random. And every time a Hum song comes on the random ends and the Hum binge begins. The sound is so infectious. After the wave hits the undertow pulls me in.
can you react to the strokes "ode to the mets"
I know it’s not likely that you will make a reaction video or anything but, even if you don’t, give “Electra 2000” a listen. I think it’s pretty underrated in their discography
Iron cloud lou- electra2000 Hum
You should react to The Egg by Shiner. I think you would like it!
Interpol el pintor love it
I feel like Incubus must have been influenced by HUM
Sorry to vomit comments all over your video but I just remembered a joke the drummer of the band I was in that covered stars and green to me made, when he said that we could just be a HUM cover band and not tell anyone and be successful.🤣
If Nirvana and Pearl Jam And Alice in Chains were the Aragorn and Gandalf and Rohirrim showing up at the Black Gate, HUM would be the Frodo and Sam sneaking in and heading for Mount Doom. 🤔
And yet, also in my mind their sound has always reminded me of 311 and Dave Matthews Band in many ways as well.
Well they are from the Midwest lol
Hey, still hoping you do a reaction to Heaven or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Deftones was influenced by these guys! And deftones was influenced by the Pumpkins!
