Copeland Band • Page 9

I didn't want to! haha. I don't like the debut or Ixora.

 

My list is perfect though.

 

...

whaaaaaaaaaaaaat.

 

I'd still have three from Ixora

 

To be fair, I could easily grab three Ixora tracks I loved, but I'm such a full-album person that I had to show my undying support for Eat Sleep.

 

My list > your list > Chase's list

 

^^^

I do like "Take Care" from the debut, at least.

 

And here I am sitting here, thinking ESR is by far my least favorite of theirs. HAhaha

 

Hey now! If you ignore my blatant rule-breaking, my list still has 15 incredible songs.

 

Yassss not alone in my ESR superiority complex

 

Looking at my real top 15 and it's pretty much exactly the same with "Take Care" and "You Have My Attention" swapped out for a couple more ESR tracks.

 

That actually seems like kind of a majority opinion around here.

 

I'm not alone, if this is worth anything:
Copeland | Album Discography | AllMusic

 

Man, my top 15 is way way different. I just don't love all their records equally or even close

 

I knew I liked you.

(I mean, I've known that for years, but still.)

 

Ixora is the highest rated by users, anyway

 

I feel like Ixora is far and away most adored around here.

 

Maybe I'm remembering from before Ixora came out. There may also be some recency bias going, but I dunno I feel like it blows everything else out of the water.

 

1. Erase
2. California
3. Love Affair
4. Don't Slow Down
5. When You Thought You'd Never Stand Out
6. The Last Time He Saw Dorie
7. Disjointed
8. World Turn
9. Eat, Sleep, Repeat
10. The Grey Man
11. No One Really Wins
12. Control Freak
13. Strange and Unprepared
14. Brightest
15. On the Safest Ledge

There's my real top 15 since I know everyone wanted it.

 

I feel like Copeland often suffers from recency bias. I remember YAMS being the popular pick after it came out.

I'll say this, the highs of Ixora are some of the best the band has ever done. However, the lows of Ixora are well below the lows ESR (and super minority opinion BMT) for me.

 

True, but Eat Sleep has the most votes, haha

 

Can't rank em, but my top 15 is:

When Paula Sparks
California
Love Is a Fast Song
Should You Return
Good Morning Fire Eater
Have I Always Loved You
Disjointed
I Can Make You Feel Young Again
Erase
Ordinary
Like a Lie
Chiromancer
World Turn
In Her Arms You Will Never Starve
Like I Want You

 

It's good but I don't know about that with "Strange and Unprepared" on it.

 

ESR is my favourite but nothing on Ixora is as throwaway as "Cover What You Can" for me. BMT is the only album of theirs with songs I skip though.

 

Yeah I think this is very true (on the first point). Ixora really only has one weak track for me and it's still probably around the same level as the middling or weaker tracks on other records.
