    Pop Evil debuts this week, with their sixth album of their career, the self-titled Pop Evil, released in 2018. They have achieved many #1 hits from Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart. From Pop Evil, "Waking Lions" was their #1 hit from the album, for a total of one week. Other albums by them that had #1 hits, were Onyx (3), Up (1), Versatile (2), and Skeletons (1). Mainstream (Hard Rock) defines the band's musical style.
    The #1 "Waking Lions" grabs your attention with it's Hard Rock style, likewise, "Colors Bleed" mixes Hard Rock and Punk. "Ex Machina" continues the Hard Rock grit. "Art Of War" combines Hard Rock and Punk again, as the vocals (as in "Colors Bleed") equals the Punkish vocal style. The next track is bold, "Be Legendary" sings "We want more. We want more."
    "Nothing But Thieves" is quite impressive - It's moody intro leads into a very good Rock-styled approach, and less strain on the ears. It has a good Rock feel. "A Crime To Remember" also has a good and common Hard Rock style, with it's piano in between. Another impressive track. "God's Dam" continues the Hard Rock flavor, and it's another good track. Another good track follows, "When We Were Young." It has a good Rock feel, not as loud and brash as the opening tracks. "Birds Of Prey" is also another good song, quite pleasant in it's Rock style. And speaking of pleasant, the ending track is very impressive! - "Rewind."
    "Nothing But Thieves," "A Crime To Remember" and "God's Dam" are the standout tracks. The album gets better with these three songs and after. Very impressive, from "Nothing But Thieves" to the end of the album. The self-titled Pop Evil is Mainstream Rock, Hard Rock, and Alternative Rock. It's quite an impressive album. It's more on the harder rock sound, Alternative, and should be a get away from the popular Hip-Hop and Rap. An impressive album, indeed.
    The album cover for Pop Evil has a great drawing of a lion ("Waking Lions"). Another band that has a simliar cover, is the band White Lion. Could White Lion be the next WSVNRadio Album Pick of the Week, or in the future? That we have yet to see...
