Same! I love how Copeland’s sound has evolved over the last two decades. It’s a tragedy that more people don’t know about this band. So damn good.
I’m not really a fan of the Revolving Doors version of Pope. I love that song but the original already has a lot of strings so it feels that the Revolving Doors version isn’t justified.
Interestingly, it's the only song on RD that I'm previously familiar with, and I kinda agree that the new version is underwhelming. So I do wonder how I'd be feeling if I knew the other tracks. Chin Up is my favourite on here atm, had it in my head for a few days.
In Motion Ixora You Are My Sunshine Beneath Medicine Tree Eat, Sleep, Repeat Blushing Can’t really rank RD in there given its nature but it’s incredible
when i got my early download of Ixora back in 2014, we had a snowstorm, so i always associate that album with bad weather. hearing World Turn for the first time with nothing but sheets of white outside was a surreal experience.
Still listening to Revolving Doors at home now, can't wait for autumn and full discography re-runs like every year hahh
Saw him post that and he mentioned Rae finally releasing something, but I forgot to check the details - that's some really good news!
I was 15 when this came out and had my mom take me to the store immediately after school to buy it. What a life.
ESR left such a mark on my life. Forever will link that album to the first time I fell in love at 16.
Got into the Copeland game late but really really enjoy this one. its the perfect getting-cold-but-not-yet-winter album for me (in the south where it never gets that cold)
For sure. I barely, if ever, return to Blushing (though it is a good album) and I did NOT like Revolving Doors at all. I also don't listen to Ixora much just because it's a very sad record IMO.
I personally listened to both aforementioned albums just this week alone (meaning ESR and Blushing), both are amazing to me. I also went back and listened to some States after listening to ESR and well, to me it still stands because I loved them and took everything Copeland-related close to my heart, but I wouldn't be sure has it really stood the test of time if I tried to have an objective take on it
