5.0 out of 5 stars
Just when you thought there were NO GOOD sophomore releases., Dec 9 1999
This review is from: Heads Are Gonna Roll (Audio CD)
The Hippos have proven themselves to be, well, to simply put it, the greatest band you've probably never heard of. The addition of the moogs gives it original qualities. The harmonies, horns, analog keyboards (i.e. - farfisa, moog), tubas and the amazing songwriting make this album a must for every cd collection. If you like pop music, ska music, punk music, or rock, you'll love this album... I promise.
It's such a great thing to watch a band progress as the years pass by, this is the band to watch.

A must buy, Jun 29 2004
This review is from: Heads Are Gonna Roll (Audio CD)
The Hippos are one of my favorite bands ever and this cd is a testament why. The Hippos are a very versatile band and although the ska on this cd is awesome I think it's the amazing synth and keyboard parts combined with Ariel's incredible lyrics that really make this cd. Definitely one of the better cd's in my collection though. The Hippos broke up last year which is very depressing but before they broke up they released a final self titled album which is also amazing. This cd has no ska on it whatsoever. In fact only one of the songs even has horns at all. But it has amazing vocals and awesome keyboards...I say go buy both of them.

Other great band, unheard by millions., Nov 5 2003
This review is from: Heads Are Gonna Roll (Audio CD)
God, The Hippos are amazing and Heads are gonna roll is one of my favorite cd's, right up there with The clash's London Calling and Rancid's Life won't wait. It's a shame they broke up. a lot o' talent. Great cd and great band if you find this cd anywhere I defintely would pick it up. Hail the Hippos!!
