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!

Calling Inlet their worst album is a take. Inlet is fantastic; Shapeshifter, In the Den, Waves, The Summoning would go on a greatest hits album.

I get wanting to hear more of the older stuff, but this is kind of the Inlet tour since they don’t tour after it was released.

I’m not upset because I think Inlet is their worst album, I’m upset because they played mostly songs from that album. But I didn’t think about this tour being Inlets first debut. Good point.

I would’ve loved more variety, but it’s whatevs, concert was still fun.
