Op Zop Too Wah is the tenth solo album by Adrian Belew.
Following the poor reception given to Belew's previous album (the instrumental guitar-synthesis experiment The Guitar As Orchestra), Op Zop Too Wah is a return to songwriting. The album's mood is reminiscent of the more avant-garde approach carried out by The Beatles in the late 1960s on albums such as "Sgt. Pepper" or The White Album.
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..."
All tracks written by Adrian Belew.
