The Gents of Hippo Campus Share Their Top 3 Albums

By Ryan Klabunde

So you're stranded on a desert island. Or rather, the gents of Hippo Campus are stranded on a desert island. If they could only bring three albums to listen to on endless island repeat, which ones would make the cut? In making their decisions, they weigh entertainment value against the more "serious," enduring impact of certain albums.

The decision is difficult, wrought with many questions. But they persist. And one by one, each band member shares an answer. Also, if you would choose a Hippo Campus album as one of your top three, then step inside the studio with the band as they record their debut.

Drum roll, please... Their top 3 revealed.
