Re: New Sparks Album - "Hippopotumus"
I still think the title track kind of sucks, but otherwise I like it quite a bit. Probably more than Exotic Creatures, which I thought had a few great songs but didn't really connect as an album. It's kind of nice seeing them throw out a solid breezy pop album again, and this is maybe the closest to a career summary album they've done. You get a mash-up of the weird novelty pop, the glam, the electro-dance, and the orchestral drama all together.
