Copeland Band • Page 45

i think they've gotten better with age album to album but YAMS wins in emotional resonance to me
based on the new songs that will continue

 

I also think they've gotten better album to album

 

I listened to ESR first and it all got better from there. YAMS really blew me away having heard nothing quite like it and the fact that I listened to it in..what..like 2014 and it still was a great album. Ixora just solidified it for me, keeps getting better

 

ESR and YAMS =

Everything else =

 

Ixora and YAMS are my favourites. Everything else is pretty good too.

 

Beneath Medicine Tree is the album I return to the least, but I really love "Coffee" and "California"

 

Coffee is probably my least favorite Copeland song :/

 

Coffee and Walking Downtown are meh but still listenable.

 

Their whole discography is pretty good but Ixora is definitely a step above everything else.

 

In Motion was my introduction the band, which is probably why it's so high up there for me.
belting out You Have My Attention alone in the car is still a favorite pastime of mine.

 

The end of You Have My Attention always makes me emotional for some reason. Just listening to them jam out at the end just gets me. It's weird.

 

Yams is like up there with the Beatles.

 

It's like their best song live because Aaron holds that last note for what seems like an eternity. So fucking good.

 

Accurate. And you can feel the emotion when they play it live too. So good.

 

Let's try this again...

 

ESR > In Motion > You Are My Sunshine > Beneath Medicine Tree > Ixora

 

I too think Ixora is my least favorite. I know that's sacrilege but it doesn't hold the same personal emotional resonance as the others do... though I do admit I love each and every song on that record and World Turn still turns me inside out

 

I'm pretty sure Ixora is my second favorite. Still absolutely love it. I hope we get a new album this year.

 

All of this.

 

Ixora>YAMS>>ESR>In Motion>>>>>BMT

That said, I absolutely love all of them.

 

Bump... for those that have been asking about the new songs.

Night Figures will be on the new record, Erin is just a b-side.

 

Do you think that version of night figures is more of a demo?

 

That's hard to say. When "Chin Up" was released after ESR as a standalone song, it ended up being a demo. When they wanted it on YAMS, they decided to re-record it so that it would sound like the rest of the album.

Night Figures sounds like a finished product to me.

 

I get that Aaron has been doing his own thing for a while now, but man, I miss the guitars sometimes.
