@1, give a try, give a listen ?it抯 all here below if you don抰 believe. Stop what
@@
K/0:], yr doing ?just dig the grooves, the sounds.
VFZ?< m FCEmg0qdjD Now, Greg Pope is the leader of Edmund抯 Crown, long a fave here at Not Lame but
b<4nljbx this 揚opmonster?indeed!) thing? Gawd, Lawdie, it抯 freakin?great! Listen to
Miw=2F Track #3 and #2 below for a bit of The Shazam. But there抯 so much here for
}=R0AKz!Cv *all* pop fans. Yes, The Shazam, Matthew Sweet, The Replacements(at their
S-o )d finest!), The Grays(track #1 below), Terry Anderson or Bill Lloyd(Track #6) and
R|8L'H+1x plenty of more of that where this comes from! Pope started this out seeking the
*9r(lmrfj help of others with this solo reach, but scheduled proved to be tough with
<a $!S buddies and he ended up playing all the instruments here ?to its great credit,
2;" vF9WMm it sounds like a band at work here there抯 so much connection of the instruments
WvT H+ to the material. Big 憃le Talent? You betcha ?in spades.
<";1[A%7< F*#!hWtb AbsolutePowerPopBlog nails it(as usual): 揚ope lets loose a total of 16 tracks
@fm p2!?6 here but there really isn't any filler. Opener "Sky Burn Down" lets you know
>SvS( N{ you're not in Kansas (or at least Tennessee) any more as he revs up a Robert
GqsV 6kH Pollard-style rocker in both sound and length (2:08). "I Got a Life" is another
QOUyD;0IW infectious barnburner which recalls both Matthew Sweet and The Who in places,
BN jMq while "Lost My Friend" and "Playing Nashville" travel in more familiar Edmund's
;}f {o^ ]' Crown territory. "The Only Thing I've Got" also clocks in around 2 minutes, and
c-&Q_lB has a definite Alex-Chilton-by-way-of-Paul-Westerberg vibe. Other standouts
m?yztm~u include the aching Jon Brionesque pop of "Only One You", the jangly "Footpath",
~Azj Y 8 the bright Americana-influenced "Little Things", and "Reason With You", another
@<$m`^H track that would have fit on nicely on Regrets of a Company Man(Edmund抯 Crown).
>6&Rytcc] A real tour-de-force and with Halloween approaching, this Popmonster will be
J Bq6Qg scaring its way up my year-end list.?MASSIVELY, PROFUSELY Extremely Highly
