I'd say Erase is their best song. Eat, Sleep, Repeat still edges out Ixora for their best album for me though.
They've made so many better songs and its sad no one seems to recognize their past anymore!!!! Almost every single song on YAMS or ESR
There's probably 3/4 from those two albums that come close to Erase for me but none really match it. Love Affair would be my second choice.
Ixora is their best album, but Should You Return is probably my favorite Copeland song. Let’s talk about that chorus.
Ixora/ESR (I go back and forth, call it a tie) In Motion YAMS BMT Erase probably is my favorite song along with You Have My Attention Sounds like we need a bracket!
Ixora The rest. I've said it before but despite buying every Copeland album, they didn't click for me until Ixora came out. I just consider that to be a majestic record.
Ixora and YAMS are both (easily) in my top ten records of all time. ESR is probably top 20. The other two are for sure all time favs. That’s kind of where I stand with Copeland. Lol
I'm not super knowledgeable about Copeland's back catalog, but aside from most if Ixora, I really love The Day I Lost My Voice (The Suitcase Song). Also I think this is the best Copeland song that isn't on a Copeland record.
Hard for me to rank their records tbh, sometimes it depends on mood even. I love them all, aside from BMT.
"Felt" is so fantastic. For me, though, this is my favorite "Copeland" track that isn't on a Copeland album:
Agreed though. “Sleep. When We Die” is also up there. Wouldn’t mind hearing Stephen Christian write more Copeland-y stuff.
