5.0 out of 5 stars After careful consideration, this is the best cd of all time, October 18, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Electra 2000 (Audio CD)
i heard Hum's You'd Prefer An Astronaut about 2 1/2 years ago. it didnt take me very long to fall in love with it. Hum has quickly become my favorite band. but i never expected anything as good as this record. i cant tell you how incredible it is. they have the most perfect, complete songs that you can imagine. every instrument is carefully placed to create an enormous and dense sheet of musical matter. Matt Talbot's vocals are sincere and touching, while his screams are intense and moving. Diffused, Pewter and Double Dip are three of the most beautiful, yearning and agonizing songs i have ever heard. but at the same time its also a fun listen, with great space rock, like Winder and Iron Clad Lou. A word of warning: although this album is a bit better than its follow up cd, Astronaut, Matt Talbot hadnt yet developed his signature spacey/homey lyrics. some of the lyrics, especially those on Pinch and Roll, are a bit silly. but dont worry... you wont mind.

4.0 out of 5 stars if you'r faint of heart -DUCK-this came from th underground, October 29, 2004
By ted offensive "ted o." (pacifica, california United States) - See all my reviews
Yes production values are not 2004 Major label, they are 1992 Martian Go Home Indie label from Urbana, Ill. When this record came out, the sound was comparable to other bands emerging from this underground. Indeed, the Noise movement was burgeoning in the midwest right then, many wanted an Albini sound (very analog). As a radio programmer then i found the writing and chunk values high on WINDER and Iron Clad Lou.

Lo these 12 years later we can laugh at the quaintness of the understated vocal approach. I met these guys, and it is no act- they are really meek guys, but their sound would kick you in the chest. Also, remember, THIS IS THE RECORD THAT GOT THEM THE MAJOR LABEL DEAL- so I guess the negative reviewers should second guess the execs.

Any fair analysis should include or atleast account for context. Basic, really.
