Hippo Campus - LP3 (February 4, 2022) Album • Page 2

Also was not expecting the singles to be the clear singles here- everything else is subversively challenging and I love it

 

Oh my god the solo in Understand is so tasteful

 

Yeah this album absolutely slaps. Best record by a country mile

 

Oh fuck me Ive been listening to this in mono for the past week

 

Yeah this is pretty great. Wasn't keen on the EP but they captured me back with Boys and the whole album rules. Definitely sounds like a natural progression from Bambi

 

Art direction on this record is pretty great as well. Very into the entire aesthetic of the record

 

Saw them live in Philly 2 nights ago. They sounded incredible but I do have one gripe. They only played one song off of Bambi (title track)!

 

Did you find this at a store or buy from the band? I haven't found this in the wild yet!

 

Bought it through their band camp site!

 

This album still rules. Upset I was outta state working when they came to my city.

 

EP is just further reassurance this band is one of the best around

yippie ki yay needs to be a live staple going forward

 

Saw them live a couple of months ago and haven’t stopped listening since. LP3 is so good and Yippie Ki Yay is def one of their best songs. That final chorus where he sings up an octave is so good.

 

So glad they played Yippie Ki Yay live.

 

Seem like it’s become a live staple, which is the correct choice haha

 

No kidding. Probably my fav of theirs in recent memory

 

New album is out today.

It sounds immaculate but is kinda boring, imo.

Reminds me a lot of when Bad Suns put out Mystic Truth. A very straightforward indie rock record that has good songs but strips away anything unique about the band.

 

I think I agree, but less because of the production and more because of the songwriting. I think they’re at their best in their big pop anthems (Way It Goes, Bambi, Semi-Pro, etc) or their weird left turns on albums (Blew Its, Bubbles, etc) and this album only has like 1 or 2 of the former and none of the latter.

 

I like the album. I feel like it's probably their most "intimate" sounding album. Easy listen, but nothing really sticks out. Paranoid still one of their best songs imo.

 

Agree, love Paranoid

 

Title track stuck out to me as well

 

Love the idea and concept behind the album. Disappointing result - feels uninspired and too laidback for my tastes. Hope they continue and find an audience for this - the Wasteland EP was underrated

 

This is really working for me. Love this laidback summer vibe right now. Great for September.
