u@}((V T=:O(R1*0 Transmission: Please receive: 揙NE OF 2008抯 VERY BEST!? Got it? Well, come in
?,%vndI give a try, give a listen ?it抯 all here below if you don抰 believe. Stop what
)s,L: {< yr doing ?just dig the grooves, the sounds.
!~04^(
p&B98c Now, Greg Pope is the leader of Edmund抯 Crown, long a fave here at Not Lame but
&zlwV"W this 揚opmonster?indeed!) thing? Gawd, Lawdie, it抯 freakin?great! Listen to
UA>~ xJp= Track #3 and #2 below for a bit of The Shazam. But there抯 so much here for
6/hY[a! *all* pop fans. Yes, The Shazam, Matthew Sweet, The Replacements(at their
$Eg|Qc-1 finest!), The Grays(track #1 below), Terry Anderson or Bill Lloyd(Track #6) and
@}!1Uk3u
d plenty of more of that where this comes from! Pope started this out seeking the
rK)So#' help of others with this solo reach, but scheduled proved to be tough with
M A} = buddies and he ended up playing all the instruments here ?to its great credit,
L-^vlP)Vu it sounds like a band at work here there抯 so much connection of the instruments
3^q,'!PfB to the material. Big 憃le Talent? You betcha ?in spades.
4} 'Xrg %CfJ.;BDNE AbsolutePowerPopBlog nails it(as usual): 揚ope lets loose a total of 16 tracks
{ > {|3 here but there really isn't any filler. Opener "Sky Burn Down" lets you know
6LL/wemq you're not in Kansas (or at least Tennessee) any more as he revs up a Robert
ul/= 1]1? Pollard-style rocker in both sound and length (2:08). "I Got a Life" is another
bsC~
2S\o infectious barnburner which recalls both Matthew Sweet and The Who in places,
Km8btS]n while "Lost My Friend" and "Playing Nashville" travel in more familiar Edmund's
I.Co8is Crown territory. "The Only Thing I've Got" also clocks in around 2 minutes, and
TOn{o}Y B has a definite Alex-Chilton-by-way-of-Paul-Westerberg vibe. Other standouts
l] WV gu include the aching Jon Brionesque pop of "Only One You", the jangly "Footpath",
#w*1 ! the bright Americana-influenced "Little Things", and "Reason With You", another
1 <.I2\^ track that would have fit on nicely on Regrets of a Company Man(Edmund抯 Crown).
y AU[A A real tour-de-force and with Halloween approaching, this Popmonster will be
'j !!h4 scaring its way up my year-end list.?MASSIVELY, PROFUSELY Extremely Highly
