5.0 out of 5 stars Just when you thought there were NO GOOD sophomore releases., December 10, 1999
By Ryan (Florida) - See all my reviews
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST FROM THE HIPPOS, February 13, 2000
By A Customer
Heads are Gonna roll is the best from The Hippos to date. I have been listening to The Hippos for 5 years(ever since they started) and I have been seeing their progress. This CD is definately the best work from one of the dopest bands around.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Fun Album, August 22, 2005
I can't say much about how this cd relates to other ska groups because I don't listen to very much ska. But I love this album. (Perhaps those two facts combined say something, I don't know.)

Yes, some of the lines are a little cliche and it is all a tad poppish. And maybe if you're a music snob this will upset you. But, if you're a normal person looking for something fun to sing along with and bounce about to, this is a good choice.
