Hum - Downward is Heavenward Reissue


Recommended Posts

Stellar album from a brilliant band (my all time favorite). The analog mixdown on this album was pretty crazy, too...if I recall, some of these songs have over 100 tracks. Also, all those effects are guitar driven - no synths.

 

Sounds sexy. It always bugs me how people say the same about Loveless but there are like 2-3 guitar tracks max on most songs and most of it it just synthesizer.

Album is 52 minutes, which is doable for a single LP. (Obviously.)

 

I'd be surprised if he sprung for a double.

I hope he does spring for it, like an idiot I paid a decent amount for an original, and it sounds OKAY. Listening to what Matt did with that cloakroom record has me excited for this.

There's plenty of quiet passages on the album too, it'll fit.  It's primarily mastering that makes a record sound great.

 

Yeah, it's nothing to sweat about. Deftones' last album was the same length, much louder music, on a single LP, and my copy sounds surprisingly great. Hell, I've got shorter, quieter albums that have more inner-groove-distortion than that one.
