 What Hum offer us is a completely dark album made of heavy riffs, heavy riffs, heavy riffs.

 By subtracting one of the two founding elements, the spell is broken.

Hum's 'Inlet' marks a notable departure from their earlier melodic and genre-blending style, focusing heavily on dense riffs and a darker, heavier sound.

Despite moments of space-rock charm, 'Inlet' falls short of expectations after a 20-year gap. Explore Hum's 'Inlet' and decide if the darker, heavier direction resonates with you.
