T2dv!}7p give a try, give a listen ?it抯 all here below if you don抰 believe. Stop what
W{i s 2s yr doing ?just dig the grooves, the sounds.
}e K.\_t= +T/T \[ Now, Greg Pope is the leader of Edmund抯 Crown, long a fave here at Not Lame but
xU!eT'Y this 揚opmonster?indeed!) thing? Gawd, Lawdie, it抯 freakin?great! Listen to
0! W$Cz[ Track #3 and #2 below for a bit of The Shazam. But there抯 so much here for
mm:g9j *all* pop fans. Yes, The Shazam, Matthew Sweet, The Replacements(at their
Q1'4xWu finest!), The Grays(track #1 below), Terry Anderson or Bill Lloyd(Track #6) and
@}<b42 plenty of more of that where this comes from! Pope started this out seeking the
S]x\Asj;w help of others with this solo reach, but scheduled proved to be tough with
T&q0 TBT buddies and he ended up playing all the instruments here ?to its great credit,
,\RZ+kC>~ it sounds like a band at work here there抯 so much connection of the instruments
>Y6
iLQ$X to the material. Big 憃le Talent? You betcha ?in spades.
7C>5Xyy
J ~-tKMc). X AbsolutePowerPopBlog nails it(as usual): 揚ope lets loose a total of 16 tracks
YAsE,M+ here but there really isn't any filler. Opener "Sky Burn Down" lets you know
fe4Ki you're not in Kansas (or at least Tennessee) any more as he revs up a Robert
TF %MO\! Pollard-style rocker in both sound and length (2:08). "I Got a Life" is another
a;h.I}*] infectious barnburner which recalls both Matthew Sweet and The Who in places,
ZnAXb S while "Lost My Friend" and "Playing Nashville" travel in more familiar Edmund's
wj{[g^y% Crown territory. "The Only Thing I've Got" also clocks in around 2 minutes, and
KCl85Wi' has a definite Alex-Chilton-by-way-of-Paul-Westerberg vibe. Other standouts
di4> Ir~] include the aching Jon Brionesque pop of "Only One You", the jangly "Footpath",
(3Dz'X the bright Americana-influenced "Little Things", and "Reason With You", another
):-Ub4A\ track that would have fit on nicely on Regrets of a Company Man(Edmund抯 Crown).
*A ([1l&]i A real tour-de-force and with Halloween approaching, this Popmonster will be
wj2z?0}o scaring its way up my year-end list.?MASSIVELY, PROFUSELY Extremely Highly
