Simply Amazing!, August 27, 2004
This review is from: Know Nothing Stays the Same (Audio CD)
What else can I say more then this EP is amazing! This album compiles 5 covers of pop classics you won't want to miss! Copeland really is one of those rare bands to be able to use old songs and make them live again with a different sound, a Copeland sound! If you like Copeland's previous works, get this cd if you haven't already!

Copeland Turns Back the Clock, November 19, 2005
This review is from: Know Nothing Stays the Same (Audio CD)
Aaron Marsh and Copeland recorded this EP over the course of a week in December 2003 because, as Marsh is quoted on the band's Web site, "These were all songs we grew up listening to that we thought we could bring something new to." Copeland certainly bring something new to these songs, breathing new life into them with Copeland's signature sound while not straying very far from the original versions.
The standout track is "Coming Around Again," from which the EPs title "Know Nothing Stays the Same" comes. Copeland take this song and make it their own, with Marsh belting out the vocals with an emotional intensity that the original Carly Simon version lacked. Bryan Laurenson's delayed guitar arpegios are a particulary effective accent along with wonderful harmonies.
As a fan of the original versions of all five of these songs and a huge fan of Copeland, this EP is a wonderful treat that, in my opinion, improves on the originals and will not disappoint even the most discerning music fan.

COPELAND TAKES MY BREATH AWAY, January 17, 2005
This review is from: Know Nothing Stays the Same (Audio CD)
the album title, know nothing stays the same, holds very true. these covers by copeland have quickly replaced my love for the originals.
i bought this (about $10) for my mom because she grew up with these songs and enjoys copeland, too. i had to take it for myself. i keep number five on repeat.
if you are looking to hear good covers and/or if you enjoy copeland as well, definitely pick this one up.
