│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Ghost has returned with a mini album entitled ║ │
│║ Popestar. Coincidently, Popestar is also the ║ │
│║ name of the tour in which they are currently on. ║ │
│║ This mini album or EP is just a release for the ║ │
│║ hardcore fans and serves as a tasty little ║ │
│║ morsel to munch on. Much like its predecessor, ║ │
│║ If You Have Ghost, it came out after the album ║ │
│║ cycle was over. Ghost is definitely a hard ║ │
│║ working band who are always on the road so it ║ │
│║ boggles the mind that they are able to craft ║ │
│║ albums and Eps to go along as companions. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Typically a Ghost EP means cover songs. It was a ║ │
│║ great surprise when Square Hammer was released ║ │
│║ as a single. I was glad it wasn't some live ║ │
│║ version of Cirice or something off of Meliora. ║ │
│║ Square Hammer is so good that you will wonder ║ │
│║ why it was left off Meliora or you will wonder ║ │
│║ how they had time to Hammer the song out in the ║ │
│║ studio. Obviously they must have planned this ║ │
│║ out ahead of time. It's scary to think that if ║ │
│║ Square Hammer was a single off Meliora, the ║ │
│║ album would have gotten even more praise. It ║ │
│║ would have balanced well with the heaviness of ║ │
│║ Cirice. Make no mistake, Square Hammer is the ║ │
│║ highlight off of Popestar. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The rest of Popestar is where Ghost pays a ║ │
│║ little tribute to bands or artists they enjoy. ║ │
│║ Ghost has a knack for choosing strange cover ║ │
│║ songs. Everyone expects a cover of Don't Fear ║ │
│║ the Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult but instead they ║ │
│║ do a heavy cover of an Echo and the Bunnymen. ║ │
│║ They pull from obscurity on the last track ║ │
│║ Bible, which is a Christian song. These cover ║ │
│║ songs all have Ghosts unique take and are never ║ │
│║ just carbon copies off the originals. Per usual, ║ │
│║ Ghost has their own sense of humor and that is ║ │
│║ no different on Popestar. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Missionary Man, an original by the Eurythmics is ║ │
│║ almost as hilarious as it is cool. Everything ║ │
│║ from the harmonica, sexual references and vocal ║ │
│║ delivery just screams out fun. Ghost is having ║ │
│║ fun not taking their satanic imagery too ║ │
│║ seriously while keeping things mysterious and ║ │
│║ unpredictable the only real blemish on Popestar ║ │
│║ would be I Believe. It has a great deal of ║ │
│║ ambience and a decent chorus, but the song just ║ │
│║ comes off as snooze fest. Despite being a mostly ║ │
│║ covers album, Popestar feels like a better ║ │
│║ continuation for Ghost than they have done in ║ │
│║ the past. Overall it's just a great, success ║ │
│║ that's a lot of fun to listen to. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Meliora, is my favorite Ghost album and Popestar ║ │
│║ is a continuation of that sound and most ║ │
│║ definitely the last we will hear of Papa ║ │
│║ Emeritus version 3.0 in the studio. A year from ║ │
│║ now Ghost are scheduled to have a new album and ║ │
│║ a new papa will be chosen before that drops. So ║ │
│║ Popestar and the current version of Ghost is ║ │
│║ coming to an end. This album and tour cycle was ║ │
│║ absolutely majestic and Ghost proved themselves ║ │
│║ to the mainstream. They have only one place to ║ │
│║ go and that is in the upward direction. ║ │
