Untitled

Op Zop Too Wah is a concept album and studio album by Adrian Belew. The album's mood is reminiscent of The Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper"; a very avant-garde style album.


Reviews[1]

Musician (12/96, pp.89-91):
"...his best overall `pop' album yet....besides the usual winning, Beatles-inflected rockers...and craftily melodic ballads...there are also strong hints of Belew's non-pop output....the bruising riffs of `I Remember How To Forget' recall his work with King Crimson..."
