Now, Greg Pope is the leader of Edmund抯 Crown, long a fave here at Not Lame but JJHvj=9'o  
this 揚opmonster?indeed!) thing? Gawd, Lawdie, it抯 freakin?great! Listen to xE-c9AH  
Track #3 and #2 below for a bit of The Shazam. But there抯 so much here for -z 5k4Y  
*all* pop fans. Yes, The Shazam, Matthew Sweet, The Replacements(at their whm tEY  
finest!), The Grays(track #1 below), Terry Anderson or Bill Lloyd(Track #6) and U1
 HD~  
plenty of more of that where this comes from! Pope started this out seeking the FqUt uN  
help of others with this solo reach, but scheduled proved to be tough with q}F%o0  
buddies and he ended up playing all the instruments here ?to its great credit, O"^a.`27  
it sounds like a band at work here there抯 so much connection of the instruments x^O2Lj,w\  
to the material. Big 憃le Talent? You betcha ?in spades. 73z|'

AbsolutePowerPopBlog nails it(as usual): 揚ope lets loose a total of 16 tracks b}L,kT  
here but there really isn't any filler. Opener "Sky Burn Down" lets you know fYQi#0drn  
you're not in Kansas (or at least Tennessee) any more as he revs up a Robert Ufe  
Pollard-style rocker in both sound and length (2:08). "I Got a Life" is another Y$$?8xr ~  
infectious barnburner which recalls both Matthew Sweet and The Who in places, ~W*j^+T"  
while "Lost My Friend" and "Playing Nashville" travel in more familiar Edmund's ,Ho.

Crown territory. "The Only Thing I've Got" also clocks in around 2 minutes, and 07"Oj9NlA  
has a definite Alex-Chilton-by-way-of-Paul-Westerberg vibe. Other standouts U>-#('  
include the aching Jon Brionesque pop of "Only One You", the jangly "Footpath", yqb<<4I  
the bright Americana-influenced "Little Things", and "Reason With You", another Nl<,rD+KSD  
track that would have fit on nicely on Regrets of a Company Man(Edmund抯 Crown). Cbg#Yz~/  
A real tour-de-force and with Halloween approaching, this Popmonster will be B{UoNm@  
scaring its way up my year-end list.?MASSIVELY, PROFUSELY Extremely Highly V1#aDfiW
