Now, Greg Pope is the leader of Edmund抯 Crown, long a fave here at Not Lame but v}J;ZIb  
this 揚opmonster?indeed!) thing? Gawd, Lawdie, it抯 freakin?great! Listen to PU9`
<3z5  
Track #3 and #2 below for a bit of The Shazam. But there抯 so much here for =j0x.fSe  
*all* pop fans. Yes, The Shazam, Matthew Sweet, The Replacements(at their AV&yoag1  
finest!), The Grays(track #1 below), Terry Anderson or Bill Lloyd(Track #6) and C-P06Q]  
plenty of more of that where this comes from! Pope started this out seeking the DJh&#b  
help of others with this solo reach, but scheduled proved to be tough with I.}1JJF*  
buddies and he ended up playing all the instruments here ?to its great credit, \o3"~\|6C  
it sounds like a band at work here there抯 so much connection of the instruments P2n2Qt2  
to the material. Big 憃le Talent? You betcha ?in spades. jj\[

AbsolutePowerPopBlog nails it(as usual): 揚ope lets loose a total of 16 tracks AZFWuPJo  
here but there really isn't any filler. Opener "Sky Burn Down" lets you know t\j!K2  
you're not in Kansas (or at least Tennessee) any more as he revs up a Robert &J"Ys Y  
Pollard-style rocker in both sound and length (2:08). "I Got a Life" is another MQcE6)  
infectious barnburner which recalls both Matthew Sweet and The Who in places, <D/al9  
while "Lost My Friend" and "Playing Nashville" travel in more familiar Edmund's CKARg8o  
Crown territory. "The Only Thing I've Got" also clocks in around 2 minutes, and .+#Lx
;})  
has a definite Alex-Chilton-by-way-of-Paul-Westerberg vibe. Other standouts l^ 4OC
 
include the aching Jon Brionesque pop of "Only One You", the jangly "Footpath", Y4~vC[$x'  
the bright Americana-influenced "Little Things", and "Reason With You", another $fArk36O#  
track that would have fit on nicely on Regrets of a Company Man(Edmund抯 Crown). *d*oS7  
A real tour-de-force and with Halloween approaching, this Popmonster will be 2tr :xi@  
scaring its way up my year-end list.?MASSIVELY, PROFUSELY Extremely Highly QJ4AL3 ^6
