this is simply a great album. perfect for any Copeland fan. there are a few acoustic songs and they are all worth your time. the covers are really good and their cover of Black Hole Sun doesn't get any better. Dressed Up & In Line is a solid b-sides album, it's not just a money maker like many of the other b-sides by other artists with all the songs you already own only unmastered demo versions.if you like Copeland... you will like this.

I like Copeland. I don't know if this would be the greatest album to use as an introduction to Copeland. However I do beleive that if you own any one Copeland album, this must be your next buy. The Cover songs are arranged and redesigned very nicely. Copelands cover of Soundgardens "Black Hole Sun" is just great. Aaron's voice weaves a more delicate appoach to the song, while the band softens the edge of the song. The only draw back to the album itself is the layout of the songs can be a bit tiring. After so many soft songs your eylids grow a little heavy.

Everything is great...BUT I AM GETTING TIRED OF THESE NAGGING REVIEWS HAVING TO TYPE IN WORDS FOR EACH AND EVERY ITEM I PURCHASE!!!!!!

It's hard for a B-side album to be groundbreaking, and much of this album fails to do so. However, the demo of Chin Up is a masterpiece and easily better than the version released on 2008's You Are My Sunshine, and the two versions of Thanks To You are quite worth purchasing. Everything else is really only worth purchasing for the die hard fans.

I think Copeland continues to let their true colors shine through in this album. Copeland delivers experimental style that's not too abstract for every day listening. This album has a sound that encourages you to get comfortable & just soak in your surroundings.

"Dressed Up and In Line" is pretty much what you would expect from copeland by now...nothing that deviates from the formula. This album has a couple covers which were done beautifully. Many alternate versions of songs from the previous 3 albums (the "In Motion" and "Eat, Sleep, Repeat" alternate tracks standing tall). A few b-sides (the best being "Chin Up" from the Eat,Sleep,Repeat sessions), and three earlier songs (pre-Beneath Medicine Tree) which are reminisent of material from Beneath Medicine Tree, but with less developed lyrics and more of a cliche pop punk sound. I highly recommend this disc. It's a cool showcase of the evolution of the band's sound. It also gets bonus points from me for putting the story behind each track in the liner notes.

Copeland has always been one of my favorite bands and this CD does not fail!

I love their covers they did in this CD.

And I love the fact they did all their recording in hotel rooms!
