They have been laboring, ever
forward, towards that one and ultimate goal, to create a pure cult following
for the movement that is Ghost. Sure, not everyone will start professing their
undying love Papa Emeritus, but the ones that do shall shower in the great
abundance of rock the boys will push out into the world. For, that is something
we can only give credit to the boys in robes for, they keep on producing albums
and EP’s in a pretty fast pace. Every two years an album with an EP as
follow-up in between. Well, almost, sort of. Anyway, Popestar is the newest EP,
and continues the path they set out on with their first album. This one, like
the other EP If You Have Ghost, is once again filled with covers and one own
track. This time around they cover Simian Mobile Disco, Imperiet, Echo &
The Bunnymen and Eurythmics. To perhaps less adornment then they did on the
other EP. But that one Ghost song, Square Hammer, is definitely not bad and
definitely undoubtedly Ghost. Referring once again to Abba and Blue Oyster
Cult. Is that a bad thing? Hell no, it’s Ghost. And the one who are followers
will surely deposit their money at the collection round once again. And the
non-believers? Perhaps a few will be guided into believing as well… Perhaps
not…
