Yes. Ban Noah from AC singles for 18 months.

Yes.

LITG is my favorite track off the record, and my favorite live jam this tour.

Some of the best use of their vocal trade-offs, I love it. Also it's the most night-timey of the bunch, great pic for the single.

I imagine them in a lab pouring solutions into beakers and everything goes awry at the end and everything explodes

i imagine being at some summery outdoor water theme park, in the giant swimming pool, toward the deep end, with ~100 people in the pool as well, singing along to litg, which is playing thru big monitors above the pool. you know when you're in a big body of water and the waves are pushing you forward and backward? i connect that muscle memory to this song (and many other AC songs)

I completely blocked Monkey Riches out of my memory.

Monkey Riches is bottom, then Lying In The Grass.

That's the thread done, cheers.

I don't have much love for studio LitG but Today's Supernatural and Wastered are the far worse

Post **Posted:** Sat Dec 03, 2016 6:24 am

As a single it's hard to compete with pre-CHz tracks but it's definitely one of my favourites off Painting With and a million times better than Floridada

Post **Posted:** Sat Dec 03, 2016 6:26 am

wastered isn't really a single in the same sense as their other singles

I agree about TS tho

Post **Posted:** Sat Dec 03, 2016 8:58 am

I think the bridge of TS elevates it, personally, it keeps unwinding and takes this unpredictable circuitous route back to the chorus.

Wastered is better.

Floridada has very lithe verses and a chorus you can only get away with once in a career.

LITG is shit but monkey riches bangs

Post **Posted:** Sat Dec 03, 2016 1:39 pm

My first instinct was nahhhh it's not that bad...but when you look at the list of released singles, I think it is.

Post **Posted:** Sat Dec 03, 2016 2:05 pm

I think it's better than than CHz singles but probably not as strong as any of the singles from albums leading up to CHz. As far as songs on PW go, I like LITG more than floridada, but i think floridada probably made for a good leadoff single to PW.

Monkey Riches is by far my least favorite AC song and TS is pretty low down on the list. Applesauce would have been a good song if it didnt have like 350 different parts/sections

Post **Posted:** Sat Dec 03, 2016 2:08 pm

yep, applesauce is good but bloated

Post **Posted:** Sat Dec 03, 2016 6:41 pm

agreed on Monkey Riches, completely disagree with everything else

Wastered is amazing, and I'll always remember the excitement I felt when LitG dropped and I heard it through that painting app

Post **Posted:** Sat Dec 03, 2016 7:35 pm

Yeah, it's absolutely the worst

I'm surprised people don't like Monkey Riches. It's actually the song that made me love CHz. Why do people dislike it?

Post **Posted:** Sun Dec 04, 2016 1:53 am

Monkey riches is good

I don't think so, I think it has a propulsive forward drive. Kind of like I'm getting swept up in it, a lot of silly fun.

Post **Posted:** Sun Dec 04, 2016 10:17 pm

Floridada is the only track on Painting With that I think is really good

Post **Posted:** Tue Dec 06, 2016 2:26 am

This thread title pissed me off enough to comment. Track is amazing. FUGG auf!

It's the only AC single that I had no desire to listen to again after listening a few times. Basically all of PW is like that for me; almost no desire to replay it. Cept for 'DaDa.

TS is the best song AC has released since ODDSAC. Haters be trippin.

Post **Posted:** Thu Dec 08, 2016 7:27 pm

late to the party but "Today's Supernatural" is by far the worst song the AC has ever released

Post **Posted:** Thu Dec 08, 2016 7:51 pm

today's supernatural is awesome

Post **Posted:** Fri Dec 09, 2016 12:59 am

Summertime Clothes > Brother Sport > My Girls > Applesauce > Peacebone = FloriDada > Grass > Golden Gal > Lying In The Grass ≥ Fireworks > Today's Supernatural

Today's supernatural would be higher if it wasn't for that "Our Home is bigger than a mountain view" part, imho

Post **Posted:** Fri Dec 09, 2016 2:19 am

that's my favorite part

Wow fireworks is so low! That's crazy to me. Also I think you left out the purple bottle and who could win a rabbit? For me it goes:
Fireworks>The Purple Bottle>Grass>Brothersport>My Girls>Peacebone>Applesauce>Who could win a Rabbit>Summertime Clothes>Floridada=Today's Supernatural>Golden Gal>Lying in the Grass

Spoiler: I think all of those songs are at least 9/10

I really like the first 3/4 but I feel like it could've ended differently, still a great song.
