about

"Greg Pope, the lead guitarist of Edmund’s Crown has a new solo CD out now. As much as I loved Regrets of a Company Man a few years ago, this album is even better. In fact, this is outstanding power pop that blows the doors off most other bands out there. He fires off a great leading track “Sky Burn Down” has the buzz and crashing cymbals of The Who and the guitar licks that recall Badfinger’s best moments. This template continues with “I Got A Life” which rips through the chorus with infectious glee, kind of like Sweet and Lenny Kravitz on speed. Every song here is a choice cut, “Lost My Friend” and “Playing Nashville” being closer to Edmunds Crown style with a more diverse pattern of instrumentation, the latter resembling Robert Pollard playing for The Monkees. . . . it’s an amazing “pop monster” of an album."

". . .Popmonster is a true solo debut as well, with Pope writing, singing and playing all the instruments on each track. Freed to do his own thing, Pope lets loose a total of 16 tracks here but there really isn't any filler. Opener "Sky Burn Down" lets you know you're not in Kansas (or at least Tennessee) any more as he revs up a Robert Pollard-style rocker in both sound and length (2:08). "I Got a Life" is another infectious barnburner which recalls both Matthew Sweet and The Who in places, while "Lost My Friend" and "Playing Nashville" travel in more familiar Edmund's Crown territory. "The Only Thing I've Got" also clocks in around 2 minutes, and has a definite Alex-Chilton-by-way-of-Paul-Westerberg vibe. . . A real tour-de-force and with Halloween approaching, this Popmonster will be scaring its way up my year-end list."
