Released in 1995, You’d Prefer an Astronaut is the third studio album by Hum and a defining moment in ’90s alternative rock.
Blending elements of shoegaze, post-hardcore, and space rock, this album is an atmospheric and heavy-hitting experience. With its thick, fuzzy guitars and introspective lyrics, it remains a cult favorite among fans of textured, immersive rock.
The album’s breakout hit, Stars, became an alt-rock anthem, with its soaring chorus and cosmic themes. Tracks like The Pod and I Hate It Too showcase the band's signature balance of crushing riffs and ethereal melodies. Meanwhile, Suicide Machine and Little Dipper highlight Hum’s ability to craft deeply emotional and sonically expansive compositions.
Clocking in at just over 45 minutes, You’d Prefer an Astronaut is a journey through sound and space, driven by Matt Talbott’s distinctive vocals and the band's dense, atmospheric instrumentation. This album remains a must-have for fans of ’90s alt-rock and anyone seeking a unique blend of melody and weight.
