 Amazing and Unique Jun 11, 2009
Great album, it is more subdued and complicated than Copeland's earlier two albums. The tracks really make you think and were deeply moving for me. This was my first Copeland album and I think that it really changed the way that I listened to music, made me more critical and opened up a whole new musical world to me. I would recommend this album and this band to anyone with an open mind to music that is meaningful and separate from the main stream.
Good Listening Feb 25, 2008
Eat, Sleep, and Repeat is a keeper. To me, this isnt one of those CDs that only has a few good songs, you dont skip any of them. Solid easy listening feel good goodness.
 a bit damaged Dec 11, 2007
some of the cover was bent, but i bent it back and it's ok now.
 Moving, but not in the way I expected... May 19, 2007
Coming fresh out of just getting into Copeland this year, I was still grooving to Medicine Tree and In Motion when I purchased Eat, Sleep, Repeat.
Needless to say, it was not what I expected at all.
It isn't a bad thing to say in the least. The music is just different, almost as if there is an eerieness to each track on the cd. It definately takes some getting used to, but it is still worth the buy.
Best tracks: Careful Now (amazing in concert), and Love Affair

Copeland--Eat, Sleep, Repeat May 02, 2007
When I first heard Copeland a couple of years ago, they sounded like an okay cross between a guitar-pop group like The Gin Blossoms and the low key acoustic emo of Coldplay. Fortunately, their sound has matured. Their new album Eat, Sleep, Repeat is replete with confident songwriting ability and Aaron Marsh's lush and exotic vocals, and the band now stands among the pantheon of emo rockers, including the UK's Keane and the seminal Death Cab for Cutie.
Part of the problem with this style of music is it tends to be a little whiny at times. However, every song on Eat, Sleep, Repeat is an absolute gem. Marsh and his ensemble of Bryan Laurenson on guitars, James Likeness on bass and Jonathan Bucklew on drums, craft an album of songs that are intelligent, contemplative, and vary in mood and temperament. The album begins with the whisper of vibes on "Where's My Head", which then takes you on a journey of guitar interplay with various percussion samples while Marsh croons. It mixes splendidly with the heavy guitar effects sported on the title track, which grinds a bit too much like Coldplay, but has a much edgier, experimental feel. Other standout songs include the piano based "Careful Now", "I'm Safer in an Airplane", "I'm A Sucker for a Kind Word", and the final track, the devastatingly haunting "When You Thought You'd Never Stand Out". Each track features beautifully sludgy guitar riffs, tight rhythm sections, and evocative lyrics. In a small way, Eat, Sleep, Repeat reminds me of the developmental solo work of former Japan guitarist/vocalist David Sylvian, especially the Brilliant Trees album. The only difference is Copeland restricts their work to rock unlike the avant-garde jazz influence of Sylvian's work. Still, you can feel Copeland stretching and growing here, pushing out the inside of the envelope and daring new territories for emo-oriented rock.
Eat, Sleep, Repeat may not be for previous Copeland fans that appreciate their punchier, more energetic work and believe the down-tempo of this record does a disservice to previous releases. However, this is the softer side of Copeland and while there is still a lot of explosive music to be found here, it eschews that quick pacing of some of their earlier songs for a profoundly cynical view of the world. In this sense, Eat, Sleep, Repeat is destined to become a classic.
