This is hands down one of the most underrated albums of the 90s. A brilliant follow-up to an already seminal album, the sophomore You'd Prefer an Astronaut, Downward is Heavenward just amazingly builds on what the previous record did and then some. What you have before you is a brilliant mix of shoegaze, post-hardcore and alternative metal that is so criminally overlooked by today's standards. If only they knew how many artists owe and credit a lot to Hum.
