Title: Grew on me
Review: Let me start by saying that I used to see the Hippos play at local shows before they got picked up by Interscope. I had their first album, Forget the World, and loved it even though the production isn't top notch. For me, they have always been a credible band; not some manufactured big label band.When I first picked up this album (2 copies) when it came out, I played the CD a couple times and tossed it aside. It sounded too much like TMBG (They Might Be Giants) and it sounded too clean/overproduced.But over time, I find myself always coming back to this album when I want to feel good. When I want to be comforted by catchy sounds and the poppy lyrics.I can't seem to get songs like The Sand, Pollution, or Paulina out of my head, and sometimes I'll just CRAVE those songs.Give this album a whirl. It's a pity that the band broke up.Michel
