wj,8 e|2@z-Sp- Transmission: Please receive: 揙NE OF 2008抯 VERY BEST!? Got it? Well, come in
3d81]!n
give a try, give a listen ?it抯 all here below if you don抰 believe. Stop what
H)VzPe# { yr doing ?just dig the grooves, the sounds.
>xB[k-C4 !${7 )=|=1 Now, Greg Pope is the leader of Edmund抯 Crown, long a fave here at Not Lame but
'h.:-1# L this 揚opmonster?indeed!) thing? Gawd, Lawdie, it抯 freakin?great! Listen to
'^10sf`" Track #3 and #2 below for a bit of The Shazam. But there抯 so much here for
lC8Z@wkjO *all* pop fans. Yes, The Shazam, Matthew Sweet, The Replacements(at their
($or@lfs finest!), The Grays(track #1 below), Terry Anderson or Bill Lloyd(Track #6) and
tPqWe2 plenty of more of that where this comes from! Pope started this out seeking the
0aM&+j\q} help of others with this solo reach, but scheduled proved to be tough with
:tf'Gw6v buddies and he ended up playing all the instruments here ?to its great credit,
HE|XDcYO it sounds like a band at work here there抯 so much connection of the instruments
\`U=pZJ to the material. Big 憃le Talent? You betcha ?in spades.
sOqT*gwr: Aw$+Ew[8 2 AbsolutePowerPopBlog nails it(as usual): 揚ope lets loose a total of 16 tracks
8vqx}2 here but there really isn't any filler. Opener "Sky Burn Down" lets you know
VjLv{f<p
you're not in Kansas (or at least Tennessee) any more as he revs up a Robert
J!\oH%FJp Pollard-style rocker in both sound and length (2:08). "I Got a Life" is another
Y*/e;mG. infectious barnburner which recalls both Matthew Sweet and The Who in places,
IOT-R!.5V while "Lost My Friend" and "Playing Nashville" travel in more familiar Edmund's
V}X>~ '% Crown territory. "The Only Thing I've Got" also clocks in around 2 minutes, and
Tq?7-_MLC$ has a definite Alex-Chilton-by-way-of-Paul-Westerberg vibe. Other standouts
o3$dl`' include the aching Jon Brionesque pop of "Only One You", the jangly "Footpath",
*ze,X~8- the bright Americana-influenced "Little Things", and "Reason With You", another
C8W_f( i~ track that would have fit on nicely on Regrets of a Company Man(Edmund抯 Crown).
~O~iP8T A real tour-de-force and with Halloween approaching, this Popmonster will be
zs6rd83# scaring its way up my year-end list.?MASSIVELY, PROFUSELY Extremely Highly
