    Copeland's best album!! Every song is just brilliant. I didn't think they'd top You Are My Sunshine but they certainly have with this album. I'd recommend songs, but then I'd just list this whole album. Deserves way more than a 77.

    If you don't find yourself choking back lumps in your throat by the time "Ordinary" simmers down, you should really check your pulse. After that, good luck making it to "In Her Arms You Will Never Starve". The whole album is all one well crafted heart on a sleeve for you to interpret.

    Album is a breath of fresh air. I didn't expect these guys to make an album so vast, but this exceeded my expectations. Reminds me a lot of Radiohead's Kid A. Electronic music perfection

    It's a fairly strong, welcomed return from one of the decade's best bands of its kind. [Jan 2015, p.91]
  2. Quite simply, there hasn’t been a Copeland album as complete as Ixora.

    Ixora (the name comes from a type of flowering plant common in Florida) finds Copeland embracing a more mature subject matter than they did on their early albums (as befits men in their mid-thirties), but with the same moody and thoughtful musical approach that marked their best-known work.
