Now, Greg Pope is the leader of Edmund抯 Crown, long a fave here at Not Lame but u-cC}DP  
this 揚opmonster?indeed!) thing? Gawd, Lawdie, it抯 freakin?great! Listen to CA~S$H\"  
Track #3 and #2 below for a bit of The Shazam. But there抯 so much here for yE/I)GOQjs  
*all* pop fans. Yes, The Shazam, Matthew Sweet, The Replacements(at their Ok"wec+,  
finest!), The Grays(track #1 below), Terry Anderson or Bill Lloyd(Track #6) and 9uo\&,,  
plenty of more of that where this comes from! Pope started this out seeking the F&Z>B};  
help of others with this solo reach, but scheduled proved to be tough with :{imRa-  
buddies and he ended up playing all the instruments here ?to its great credit, #f@53Pxb  
it sounds like a band at work here there抯 so much connection of the instruments |'(IWU  
to the material. Big 憃le Talent? You betcha ?in spades. h 'CLf]

AbsolutePowerPopBlog nails it(as usual): 揚ope lets loose a total of 16 tracks _+7f+eB  
here but there really isn't any filler. Opener "Sky Burn Down" lets you know Q'LU?>N)/  
you're not in Kansas (or at least Tennessee) any more as he revs up a Robert aMD?^  
Pollard-style rocker in both sound and length (2:08). "I Got a Life" is another yrb%g~ELGn  
infectious barnburner which recalls both Matthew Sweet and The Who in places, HM x9M$  
while "Lost My Friend" and "Playing Nashville" travel in more familiar Edmund's c9K\K~bk  
Crown territory. "The Only Thing I've Got" also clocks in around 2 minutes, and @XJv9aq  
has a definite Alex-Chilton-by-way-of-Paul-Westerberg vibe. Other standouts 'a9.JS[pj  
include the aching Jon Brionesque pop of "Only One You", the jangly "Footpath", v2SsfhT  
the bright Americana-influenced "Little Things", and "Reason With You", another Cu5 - w  
track that would have fit on nicely on Regrets of a Company Man(Edmund抯 Crown). a#@opUn-  
A real tour-de-force and with Halloween approaching, this Popmonster will be |LhuZ_;1xo  
scaring its way up my year-end list.?MASSIVELY, PROFUSELY Extremely Highly XiUsaoQm3
