'2&H Now, Greg Pope is the leader of Edmund抯 Crown, long a fave here at Not Lame but
ajl
2I/D this 揚opmonster?indeed!) thing? Gawd, Lawdie, it抯 freakin?great! Listen to
ChryJRuwv5 Track #3 and #2 below for a bit of The Shazam. But there抯 so much here for
Z!xVgM{ *all* pop fans. Yes, The Shazam, Matthew Sweet, The Replacements(at their
|xr%6 [Ff finest!), The Grays(track #1 below), Terry Anderson or Bill Lloyd(Track #6) and
v;#=e$%}MO plenty of more of that where this comes from! Pope started this out seeking the
X#a `K]!B help of others with this solo reach, but scheduled proved to be tough with
57{oh") buddies and he ended up playing all the instruments here ?to its great credit,
%wV>0gQTf it sounds like a band at work here there抯 so much connection of the instruments
&}mw'_ I to the material. Big 憃le Talent? You betcha ?in spades.
uNbH\qd= \b'x t AbsolutePowerPopBlog nails it(as usual): 揚ope lets loose a total of 16 tracks
inPJ2uBD\^ here but there really isn't any filler. Opener "Sky Burn Down" lets you know
kU5.iK' you're not in Kansas (or at least Tennessee) any more as he revs up a Robert
8 S`9dSc Pollard-style rocker in both sound and length (2:08). "I Got a Life" is another
.N4 infectious barnburner which recalls both Matthew Sweet and The Who in places,
^ OJyN,A while "Lost My Friend" and "Playing Nashville" travel in more familiar Edmund's
`+lHeLz': Crown territory. "The Only Thing I've Got" also clocks in around 2 minutes, and
6< J
#^ 6 has a definite Alex-Chilton-by-way-of-Paul-Westerberg vibe. Other standouts
~d{.ng 4K include the aching Jon Brionesque pop of "Only One You", the jangly "Footpath",
M_ 0zC1 the bright Americana-influenced "Little Things", and "Reason With You", another
Z{IU y track that would have fit on nicely on Regrets of a Company Man(Edmund抯 Crown).
>>[/UFC)n A real tour-de-force and with Halloween approaching, this Popmonster will be
h.rD}N\L scaring its way up my year-end list.?MASSIVELY, PROFUSELY Extremely Highly
