Now, Greg Pope is the leader of Edmund抯 Crown, long a fave here at Not Lame but U*(/eEtd-  
this 揚opmonster?indeed!) thing? Gawd, Lawdie, it抯 freakin?great! Listen to
Ne#FBRu5  
Track #3 and #2 below for a bit of The Shazam. But there抯 so much here for `@TWZ%f6  
*all* pop fans. Yes, The Shazam, Matthew Sweet, The Replacements(at their Kh&W\\K  
finest!), The Grays(track #1 below), Terry Anderson or Bill Lloyd(Track #6) and 7 ^)8DwAl  
plenty of more of that where this comes from! Pope started this out seeking the 8?LsV<  
help of others with this solo reach, but scheduled proved to be tough with cq+G0F+H  
buddies and he ended up playing all the instruments here ?to its great credit, HVjN<HIqM  
it sounds like a band at work here there抯 so much connection of the instruments 0Xo>f"2<f  
to the material. Big 憃le Talent? You betcha ?in spades. qW+'#Jh@TV

AbsolutePowerPopBlog nails it(as usual): 揚ope lets loose a total of 16 tracks 6<1 2j7  
here but there really isn't any filler. Opener "Sky Burn Down" lets you know kZ<0|b  
you're not in Kansas (or at least Tennessee) any more as he revs up a Robert [x{z}rYH  
Pollard-style rocker in both sound and length (2:08). "I Got a Life" is another corNw+|/w  
infectious barnburner which recalls both Matthew Sweet and The Who in places, Y*VF1M,2_  
while "Lost My Friend" and "Playing Nashville" travel in more familiar Edmund's 7[=\bL  
Crown territory. "The Only Thing I've Got" also clocks in around 2 minutes, and eJbZA&:  
has a definite Alex-Chilton-by-way-of-Paul-Westerberg vibe. Other standouts W4Z8U0co  
include the aching Jon Brionesque pop of "Only One You", the jangly "Footpath", GmhfBW?  
the bright Americana-influenced "Little Things", and "Reason With You", another ^AhV1rBB  
track that would have fit on nicely on Regrets of a Company Man(Edmund抯 Crown). W(5XcP(  
A real tour-de-force and with Halloween approaching, this Popmonster will be La>fvm  
scaring its way up my year-end list.?MASSIVELY, PROFUSELY Extremely Highly n?Zt
