B"}x Now, Greg Pope is the leader of Edmund抯 Crown, long a fave here at Not Lame but
r O87V!Cj this 揚opmonster?indeed!) thing? Gawd, Lawdie, it抯 freakin?great! Listen to
[* xdILj Track #3 and #2 below for a bit of The Shazam. But there抯 so much here for
\VPw3 *all* pop fans. Yes, The Shazam, Matthew Sweet, The Replacements(at their
'4,?YcZ?S finest!), The Grays(track #1 below), Terry Anderson or Bill Lloyd(Track #6) and
*q}yfa35eR plenty of more of that where this comes from! Pope started this out seeking the
8vx
ca]DcV help of others with this solo reach, but scheduled proved to be tough with
%! ` %21 buddies and he ended up playing all the instruments here ?to its great credit,

X A &}]:4@{ AbsolutePowerPopBlog nails it(as usual): 揚ope lets loose a total of 16 tracks
uh\G6s!4/ here but there really isn't any filler. Opener "Sky Burn Down" lets you know
'`8 ^P you're not in Kansas (or at least Tennessee) any more as he revs up a Robert
II'.vp Pollard-style rocker in both sound and length (2:08). "I Got a Life" is another
6{I7=.V infectious barnburner which recalls both Matthew Sweet and The Who in places,
:1d;jx> while "Lost My Friend" and "Playing Nashville" travel in more familiar Edmund's
j32*9 Crown territory. "The Only Thing I've Got" also clocks in around 2 minutes, and
,RV>F_ has a definite Alex-Chilton-by-way-of-Paul-Westerberg vibe. Other standouts
",apO include the aching Jon Brionesque pop of "Only One You", the jangly "Footpath",
hq"n RH the bright Americana-influenced "Little Things", and "Reason With You", another
"9s}1C; Me track that would have fit on nicely on Regrets of a Company Man(Edmund抯 Crown).
} :?*n:g5 A real tour-de-force and with Halloween approaching, this Popmonster will be
Zzlt^#KLx scaring its way up my year-end list.?MASSIVELY, PROFUSELY Extremely Highly
