old-school brass to synthesizers
Unfortunately, the lyrics are
underneath an umbrella of more
than 10 different instruments.
Someone should tell this band
“less is more.”
Overall, Heads Are Gonna Roll
sounds like ska-pop, adding a
hint of big band swing.
This combination, already pop

Jennifer Spurlock
The Hippos introduce their
zany and slightly distressful
tunes in their new CD, Heads Are
Gonna Roll.
Instructions labeled on the CD
tell listeners to play the album at
"maximum volume.”
After sifting through selections
of songs like "Lost It,” “Wasting
My Life,” “Struggling” and "Far
Behind,” it would probably be
proper to leave instructions like
“listen with a large box of kleenex
and a bottle of aspirin.”
The band’s most credible at
tempt for eager listeners would be
their remake of “Always Some
thing There to Remind Me,” which
becomes a diamond for the CD as
a memorable ’80s rebirth.
Ariel Rechtshald puts in a pleas
ing performance as lead vocalist.
He is accompanied by band
tained only one hit single,
Man Nice Shot.”
