-{ H0g] [ i]Ub0Dh7 Transmission: Please receive: 揙NE OF 2008抯 VERY BEST!? Got it? Well, come in
X-wf:h?i give a try, give a listen ?it抯 all here below if you don抰 believe. Stop what
,G2TVjz yr doing ?just dig the grooves, the sounds.
^/r7@: sQ
fFu Now, Greg Pope is the leader of Edmund抯 Crown, long a fave here at Not Lame but
({q?d[q[ this 揚opmonster?indeed!) thing? Gawd, Lawdie, it抯 freakin?great! Listen to
7(5
4/ Track #3 and #2 below for a bit of The Shazam. But there抯 so much here for
q#s,- u u *all* pop fans. Yes, The Shazam, Matthew Sweet, The Replacements(at their
{DR`;ea])1 finest!), The Grays(track #1 below), Terry Anderson or Bill Lloyd(Track #6) and
h-%R<[ plenty of more of that where this comes from! Pope started this out seeking the
S
;)w. help of others with this solo reach, but scheduled proved to be tough with
IyPwP*A buddies and he ended up playing all the instruments here ?to its great credit,
D}mjN=Y it sounds like a band at work here there抯 so much connection of the instruments
3nhXZOO1 to the material. Big 憃le Talent? You betcha ?in spades.
'JRvP!] [xGf,;Z AbsolutePowerPopBlog nails it(as usual): 揚ope lets loose a total of 16 tracks
MerFZd 1 here but there really isn't any filler. Opener "Sky Burn Down" lets you know
`-p:vq` you're not in Kansas (or at least Tennessee) any more as he revs up a Robert
Ipf =ZD Pollard-style rocker in both sound and length (2:08). "I Got a Life" is another
lQe%Yh
>rl infectious barnburner which recalls both Matthew Sweet and The Who in places,
QC9eUYe while "Lost My Friend" and "Playing Nashville" travel in more familiar Edmund's
|%'
nVxc4r Crown territory. "The Only Thing I've Got" also clocks in around 2 minutes, and
~W{2
Jd has a definite Alex-Chilton-by-way-of-Paul-Westerberg vibe. Other standouts
1fZ(l" include the aching Jon Brionesque pop of "Only One You", the jangly "Footpath",
\Z+z?K O the bright Americana-influenced "Little Things", and "Reason With You", another
::}{_ Z track that would have fit on nicely on Regrets of a Company Man(Edmund抯 Crown).
AD|2q M)) A real tour-de-force and with Halloween approaching, this Popmonster will be
#6CC3TJ'k scaring its way up my year-end list.?MASSIVELY, PROFUSELY Extremely Highly
z}MP)|aH: Recommended!
