Pop is the only studio album by the English post-punk band Tones on Tail, a side project of the Bauhaus members Daniel Ash and Kevin Haskins (who later went on to form Love and Rockets with David J), and the Bauhaus roadie Glenn Campling. It was released on 6 April 1984 by Beggars Banquet Records.




Critical reception



Trouser Press opined, "while Pop [...] reveals some draggy recidivist Bauhaus tendencies, it also has real songs of modern music that show taste, delicacy and moderate imagination". Writing for AllMusic, Ned Raggett called it "an impressive, wide-ranging effort collaging a range of influences into an inspired, often unpredictable experience".
Dave Thompson, in Alternative Rock, considered the album "more serviceable ideas than realized majesty", but nonetheless a recording that "holds its place in time".
Erica Bettina Wexler of Spin wrote, "There is something elusive and haunting about their music. This first album provides no immediate hooks or grooves, no instant good time. But give a serious two-ear listen, and you'll be surprised by its hypnotic power."
