Yeah, Hum really is an amazing band. They're probablly my 3rd favorite behind sunny 
day and slint. One of my favorite things about Hum is their lyrics. And not just their 
lyrics themselves, but they way Matt Talbott organizes them in the songs. Like the 
syllable patterns and word beats and stuff. Anyone else notice this? But yea, if your 
looking for a great band flowing with emotion, check them out. I reccomend their 2nd 
album: You'd Prefer an Astronaut.
