Arguably, Downward Is Heavenward isn't merely the group's best album, but a lost classic of '90s rock, period... this is Hum as Hum, catalyzing the calmest of singing and delivery via some of the biggest sounding music around. All this and no cheap attempt to rewrite 'Stars' either — Hum, clearly, had something special.
