Although my tastes have drifted towards progressive rock and metal in the years since this came out, I still love this album. In fact, in a listener-friendly way, it is rather an 80's pop version of 70's art rock (it feels closer to old Genesis than 80's Genesis). It's pretty, bouncy, and has nice touches of pop-friendly art. (The previous album, Folk of the 80's Part III is also great).

When I was younger I listened to Pop Goes the World and Rythm of Youth constantly. I was just a goofy kid growing up in the suburbs; the music of MWOH was my soundtrack for life. Then I grew up and lost my cassettes. Now that I've finally heard Pop Goes the World again, I forgot how brilliant this eccentric pop outfit from Canada actually is. The music sounds better now than when I was 13. That's all I wanted to say.

On a personal level, this was one of my favorite albums of the 80's. On a musical level, this is one of the most keenly executed, most perfectly recorded pop albums to grace the music world. Long underappreciated for their place in the musical structure of the 80's (save a Best New Artist Grammy nomination), Ivan and Stefan Doroschuk's high concept, storytelling album revolved around the characters of Johnny and Jenny. The infectous title hit introduces the pair. From 'On Tuesday' (which features Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson on flute) through the closing track, 'The End (Of The World)', the album takes the listener on a magical journey through Ivan's storyworld, ripe with unique musical landscapes. This album stands as the band's crowning achievement...elegant, uplifting and, foremost, fun.

Pop Goes the World [IMPORT]
Pop Goes the World [IMPORT]~ Men Without Hats is not as good as their early work. Yet it is much better then other hack jobs. The production is crisp and the sounds are great.

Fantastic
This album is the test of whether, deep down inside, you're a cynic. There's an earnestness, a sincerity, and a thrilling honesty to the songs here. Read more
