give a try, give a listen ?it抯 all here below if you don抰 believe. Stop what

Now, Greg Pope is the leader of Edmund抯 Crown, long a fave here at Not Lame but /s} "0/Y\  
this 揚opmonster?indeed!) thing? Gawd, Lawdie, it抯 freakin?great! Listen to <r.QS[:h  
Track #3 and #2 below for a bit of The Shazam. But there抯 so much here for 3h d30o  
*all* pop fans. Yes, The Shazam, Matthew Sweet, The Replacements(at their 5l 3PAG  
finest!), The Grays(track #1 below), Terry Anderson or Bill Lloyd(Track #6) and V5z2.} 'o-  
plenty of more of that where this comes from! Pope started this out seeking the >%om[]0E  
help of others with this solo reach, but scheduled proved to be tough with }b&lHr'Uw  
buddies and he ended up playing all the instruments here ?to its great credit, 0B7G:X0  
it sounds like a band at work here there抯 so much connection of the instruments
[I3Nu8  
to the material. Big 憃le Talent? You betcha ?in spades. 9`*Eeb>

AbsolutePowerPopBlog nails it(as usual): 揚ope lets loose a total of 16 tracks IBo  
here but there really isn't any filler. Opener "Sky Burn Down" lets you know $3G^}A"  
you're not in Kansas (or at least Tennessee) any more as he revs up a Robert ~TEn +  
Pollard-style rocker in both sound and length (2:08). "I Got a Life" is another /*T^7Y&  
infectious barnburner which recalls both Matthew Sweet and The Who in places, dAx ? ,  
while "Lost My Friend" and "Playing Nashville" travel in more familiar Edmund's 
jez0 A  
Crown territory. "The Only Thing I've Got" also clocks in around 2 minutes, and s@@Km1w  
has a definite Alex-Chilton-by-way-of-Paul-Westerberg vibe. Other standouts m0TVi]v  
include the aching Jon Brionesque pop of "Only One You", the jangly "Footpath", gGL }FNH  
the bright Americana-influenced "Little Things", and "Reason With You", another |p&EP2?T  
track that would have fit on nicely on Regrets of a Company Man(Edmund抯 Crown). oxlor,lw/  
A real tour-de-force and with Halloween approaching, this Popmonster will be >X$JeME3  
scaring its way up my year-end list.?MASSIVELY, PROFUSELY Extremely Highly 1"ZtE\{ "
