You'd Prefer an Astronaut is
Hum's third album, and my personal favorite. My personal take on it: It's a very
dark album, but not dark like you think I mean. Dark like
endless summer nights, like outer
space, like lying in the grass and staring at the
Stars. It's the one
Hum album which has had a semi-hit come off of it,
Stars. There are a lot of better songs on the album though. Not that
Stars isn't good, but the rest of the album is just that great.
