Source-derived summary

Cope Park is the second and final studio album by American post punk band Audio Learning Center. Musically, Cope Park, like Friendships Often Fade Away, peers over the shoulders of giants. Like any band in this new millennium, Audio Learning Center simultaneously showcases their varied influences while building on them, creating something new.

It is the band's last release before Audio Learning Center disbanded.

Editorial summary

“Cope Park” enters the record as album by Audio Learning Center. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Cope, Park and album can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewBest approached as a cultural-object dossier: authorship and date matter, but circulation and reception often explain the wider significance. The current 64-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2004. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Cope, Park and album.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Cope Park” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Cope, Park and album provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 1, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q5168337. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
