glGX Transmission: Please receive: 揙NE OF 2008抯 VERY BEST!? Got it? Well, come in
44 8%yP give a try, give a listen ?it抯 all here below if you don抰 believe. Stop what
yd VDjE
Y yr doing ?just dig the grooves, the sounds.
07=I& Pum R:l &2 Now, Greg Pope is the leader of Edmund抯 Crown, long a fave here at Not Lame but
%Cj_z this 揚opmonster?indeed!) thing? Gawd, Lawdie, it抯 freakin?great! Listen to
6pb~+=3n Track #3 and #2 below for a bit of The Shazam. But there抯 so much here for
Qe!3ae`Z *all* pop fans. Yes, The Shazam, Matthew Sweet, The Replacements(at their
*Ej;}KSv finest!), The Grays(track #1 below), Terry Anderson or Bill Lloyd(Track #6) and
`t9k!y!
GV plenty of more of that where this comes from! Pope started this out seeking the
R
-<8j`[0 help of others with this solo reach, but scheduled proved to be tough with
gH ,Pz buddies and he ended up playing all the instruments here ?to its great credit,
=_ j<x$,b- it sounds like a band at work here there抯 so much connection of the instruments
HCkfw+gaV to the material. Big 憃le Talent? You betcha ?in spades.
j+dQI_']x &tf(vU;,' AbsolutePowerPopBlog nails it(as usual): 揚ope lets loose a total of 16 tracks
g]N'6La here but there really isn't any filler. Opener "Sky Burn Down" lets you know
?WqaT) l~ you're not in Kansas (or at least Tennessee) any more as he revs up a Robert
Ahba1\,N$ Pollard-style rocker in both sound and length (2:08). "I Got a Life" is another
[MKG5=kaE infectious barnburner which recalls both Matthew Sweet and The Who in places,
|*b- m k while "Lost My Friend" and "Playing Nashville" travel in more familiar Edmund's
3O Ks ?i3A Crown territory. "The Only Thing I've Got" also clocks in around 2 minutes, and
\X ! NoF has a definite Alex-Chilton-by-way-of-Paul-Westerberg vibe. Other standouts
D :IG;R sc include the aching Jon Brionesque pop of "Only One You", the jangly "Footpath",
KZcmNli&A the bright Americana-influenced "Little Things", and "Reason With You", another
S-3hLw&? track that would have fit on nicely on Regrets of a Company Man(Edmund抯 Crown).
rev*G: A real tour-de-force and with Halloween approaching, this Popmonster will be
