Amazonレビュー
Singer Aaron Marsh says where Copeland's 2003 full-length, Beneath Medicine Tree, was designed to move people, its follow-up was made to make people move. It's a little distinction that's sure to rile a lot of people that didn't think there was much room for improvement after the first album's near perfect balance of raw emotion and breath-taking melody. But get past the brash punk-pop of tracks such as "Your Love Is A Fast Song" and "Pin Your Wings," and the same wounded heart that was beating behind the debut lurks underneath the noise and confusion of In Motion--in epic, orchestral songs like "Kite" and "Sleep." Marsh's dependence of lyrical clichés is slightly disappointing, as is Ken Andrew's overdone production, but overall this is the sound of a band moving forward. Aidin Vaziri

それが何かわからないから20年聴き続けてきたし、これからも聴くだろう。
生きる上で感じる色んな喜怒哀楽に寄り添ってくれるマスターピース。特に後半の畳み掛けで感情が揺さぶられる。寒い季節に聴きたくなる。
コープランドの2nd。
アコースティック楽器の音色を
生かした音づくり。
その繊細で切ないメロディ、
アーロンの
透明感のある高音ヴォーカル、
そして素晴らしいハーモニー。
この2ndでは
北欧のMewを思わせる清涼感と透明感が
より増幅されているように感じる。
エモーショナルでタイトなナンバーから
ミディアム・テンポ、バラードに至るまで
流れるように美しいアレンジで
より美しく、センチメンタルに
そしてドラマティックに
仕上がっている。
ヴォーカルのアーロンは
1stのレコーディング中に恋人が病に倒れ、
祖母の死を経験したという。
だからだろうか、
1stは切なく、儚いイメージが
強く感じられた。
この2ndでは、もちろん
切なさや儚さは感じられるのだが
同時に力強さや希望のような
ポジティブなイメージと
大らかで優しい包容感が感じられる。
苦難を乗り越え
より成長したアーロン、
そして彼を支え、共に歩むバンドの
結束力が感じられる
良いチーム状態が反映された
素晴らしいアルバムだと思う。
エモという枠に囚われず
美しいメロディとハーモニーを愛する
すべてのロック・ファンに聴いてもらいたい作品だ。
あまり良い評価ではないので。
Mewのような音を期待している人にはお勧めできません。
たしかに繊細で力強いという点は共通しているのですが、
彼らは日向の住人です。
日陰もしくは闇の中の音を求めていた私としては、
ちょっと期待はずれでした。
でも声はいいですよ、かなり。
もしかするとMewのJonasより女の子みたいかも。

This CD seems like a natural progression for the band. The hard songs are harder and the soft songs are more contemplative. From a production standpoint, the overall sound quality on "In Motion" is leaps and bounds ahead of "Medicine Tree." The vocals are cleaner, the guitars are more punchy, the bass really growls (when called for) and the drums are very tight and sound incredible.
As far as songs go, there are a few absolute gems here. What surprises me about other people's reviews is that not many are singling out "Love is a Fast Song." The song is easily the best on the album, easily the best of Copeland's career thus far, and-truly-the best emo song I have ever heard. It is perfect in every way-lyrically, musically and technically. The opening guitar riff is heavy, sludgy and would have made Quicksand jealous. That one riff is like nothing Copeland has done before-it's a shame there weren't more like it on the album (but I'll get to that in a bit). The bass and drums during the verses are marvelously tight and drive the heart-wrenching vocals home more perfectly than any rock song I've heard. And I cannot stay still or silent when the song explodes into its power chord-laden chorus. This song alone is worth purchasing the album.
The next best song would easily be "Don't Slow Down." The song doesn't rock like "Fast Song," but it will move you like no other. This song really shows what magic singer Aaron Marsh can work with his voice and his lyrics ("You can take everything I have/Just don't leave my side now-don't leave my side") and what the band can do with their music. The chords in this song are not complex (a plus if you want to play it on guitar), but the music is smattered with shimmering, ethereal layers that complement each other perfectly. Aaron easily has the best voice in the indie rock/emo game and his tonal range and gorgeous delivery are showcased here.
Other highlights include "No One Really Wins," a very punchy and energetic opener for the album that includes some great distorted bass and mean guitar riffs. Also, "Pin Your Wings" is a great upbeat rock song.
Unfortunately, the album is not without flaws. The band did itself and us as listeners a great disservice by including too many down-tempo ballads on the album. While "You Have My Attention" works well, others like "You Love to Sing" and "Hold Nothing Back" are (gasp!) boring. Some would argue that these songs just show Copeland's softer side, but they just pale badly in comparison to the other great songs on this album. And "Kite," which invokes what sounds like an Italian love song one would hear on the canals of Venice (complete with accordian and scratchy film reel background noise), simply doesn't work.
While songs like "Fast Song" and "Don't Slow Down" deserve six stars, I won't give the album five stars based on the strength of those songs. It may deserve that, but the tracks are just too inconsistent for me to give this CD a perfect score. Copeland would do well to realize that their guitars sound best with the distortion turned up. Also, as beautiful as Aaron's voice is, it doesn't seem to do him justice to have only acoustic guitars backing him up on most of the ballads. He truly shines with the whole band pounding away behind him. With any luck, the next album will give us more pure musical brilliance in the vein of "Fast Song" and "Don't Slow Down." Until then, however, you simply must own this CD.
P.S. As a side note, I'm a graphic designer (as is Copeland's bassist), so I love the classy, understated look of the album art and typography. It just goes to show the multifaceted (not just musical) talents of this wonderful band.
