It is an album for Hum fans and for anyone that considers grunge, post-hardcore, or space rock an important part of their lives, which if you're even here reading this, probably means you. While 'Electra 2000' lacks the polish of their major label albums, the production is pretty typical for an early 90's indie release. It packs more youthful, punkish energy than their later albums as well. There's enough here to make it important. Roughly on par with 'Astronaut' in the strength of songwriting.

So underrated it's almost offensive. Where the subsequent albums get more pensive, this album is packed with energy. Its explosive opening track, Iron Clad Lou, is one of the greatest alternative rock songs of all time. The only real downfall of the record is the awkward, forced yelling parts, but they don't really keep this from being a criminally overlooked alt rock classic. I'd rank this above YPAA simply because it maintains its momentum better.

I agree there are definitely biased reviews here. This is nowhere as good as the two albums that followed it, but it is still solid nonetheless. Some really great tunes on here

Listenable, but the band came into their own after this release. Easily biased opinions on this record, though, since you are going to inadvertently compare it to everything else they've done. "Winder" is a great song.
