Jun 23, 2026While not reaching the heights of Love Is Not Enough, there's still a great deal to enjoy on Hum of Hurt.

Jun 23, 2026Hum Of Hurt is the less instant record [than [Love Is Not Enough] – though when it comes to Converge, ‘instant’ is a relative term. But it’s an equally fascinating and feral offering.

Jun 23, 2026More impressive still is that they've managed to match the excellence of Love Is Not Enough, if not surpass it. Regardless of whether or not you buy into the album’s central premise, it’s impossible to deny how effective Converge are at bringing it to life here.
