W_(Rqg Now, Greg Pope is the leader of Edmund抯 Crown, long a fave here at Not Lame but
` Bkba: this 揚opmonster?indeed!) thing? Gawd, Lawdie, it抯 freakin?great! Listen to
Z U
f<s? Track #3 and #2 below for a bit of The Shazam. But there抯 so much here for
~aA+L-s| *all* pop fans. Yes, The Shazam, Matthew Sweet, The Replacements(at their
LT '#0dCC finest!), The Grays(track #1 below), Terry Anderson or Bill Lloyd(Track #6) and
,!sAr;Rk` plenty of more of that where this comes from! Pope started this out seeking the
[>C^ 0\Z~ help of others with this solo reach, but scheduled proved to be tough with
r'xa' 6& buddies and he ended up playing all the instruments here ?to its great credit,
tH>%`: it sounds like a band at work here there抯 so much connection of the instruments
My)}oN7\z to the material. Big 憃le Talent? You betcha ?in spades.
TN/I(pkt1B sI*( MhU AbsolutePowerPopBlog nails it(as usual): 揚ope lets loose a total of 16 tracks
Szwa2IdI. here but there really isn't any filler. Opener "Sky Burn Down" lets you know
prIq9U|@ you're not in Kansas (or at least Tennessee) any more as he revs up a Robert
&^&k]JBaV Pollard-style rocker in both sound and length (2:08). "I Got a Life" is another
<;v{`@\j{ infectious barnburner which recalls both Matthew Sweet and The Who in places,
H~x0-q<8 while "Lost My Friend" and "Playing Nashville" travel in more familiar Edmund's
v6oZD;;~ Crown territory. "The Only Thing I've Got" also clocks in around 2 minutes, and
tb0s+rb has a definite Alex-Chilton-by-way-of-Paul-Westerberg vibe. Other standouts
9%\q* include the aching Jon Brionesque pop of "Only One You", the jangly "Footpath",
.bL{fBTT~ the bright Americana-influenced "Little Things", and "Reason With You", another
T(
po
nLh track that would have fit on nicely on Regrets of a Company Man(Edmund抯 Crown).
%o^'(L@z A real tour-de-force and with Halloween approaching, this Popmonster will be
O aU$ [Z'8 scaring its way up my year-end list.?MASSIVELY, PROFUSELY Extremely Highly
