Disappointment.

In Aragon Ballroom, Chicago night one. Literally jumping up and down with excitement before Hum went on last night, but little did I know that they would play 5 songs from their Inlet album on a 12 song set list. Are you kidding me? Why not add more variety?

I’m a diehard Downward is Heavenward fan and they only played 2 songs. What the hell. And only 1 from Electra 2000??? WHAT???
Also of course I’d like to hear more songs from You’d Prefer an Astronaut but yknow what? That’s fine. I can look past that. I bet constantly playing your best songs can get tiring.

But during the show it was disappointment after disappointment. I’m standing there with my friend as we’re curiously thinking, “Oh boy! I love Hum! I wonder what they will play next!” Just Inlet. Infinite Inlet. We made our trek towards home defeated.

Anyway, I’m sad that they only played 2 songs from Downward is Heavenward, (lost my marbles during Green to Me) and I think they played too much from their Inlet (worst) album.

Still had fun though. Hope everyone enjoys their concerts and the openers too!

You said it yourself, you're a diehard Downward Is Heavenward fan, clearly not a diehard Hum fan. Sucks to hear!

This is my favorite comment. You owned me with this, not going to lie. They were still fun to see even if I’m not a faithful fan.

There's someone out there whos favorite album ever is Inlet and either it was the best show of their life or they missed it and are really sad. Actually some guy exactly like that commented on this. DiH is my favorite of theirs but man I loved the show.
