"visiting friends" is unrankable because it's just this thing you need to zone into and it's not even a song to me, just like an eco system to blossom and wither with

12. Whaddit I Done

The rest are somewhere else in there, idk if i could rank them. There are no bad songs on the album, it's near perfect imo. But winters love is one of the best representations of what AC does well, and visiting friends is absolutely beautiful... and whaddit i done borders on annoying. Those are the only strong opinions I have

that tremolo though!

Post **Posted:** Thu Dec 01, 2016 10:20 pm

I don't dislike it, I just think the effect is a little overdone in the song. If they had held back even a little it would have made it better

If I could only have one before the firing squad, it'd be Kids On Holiday. If I could only have one for being stranded on a desert island, it'd be Visiting Friends.

i listened to sung tongs kind of differently over time. immediately my favorite songs were leaf house, kids on holiday, we tigers, winter's love... the popish ones. then over time i started being less into those songs and more into visiting friends and mouth wood her. you have to listen to whaddit i done isolated like mentioned above. it took it from a song i never really payed attention to, to my favorite song on the album.

I've mentioned this before, but does anyone else hear whaddit I done as kind of a sister song to infant dressing table? I feel like they both have a very similar vocal composition, but IDT is a long drawn out epic, whereas whaddit I done takes similar ideas and applies them to a more modest, mellow and condensed song.

Post **Posted:** Mon Dec 05, 2016 7:03 am

Good Lovin Outside seems pretty polarising!

I agree. "Too Soon" also falls into this "duck voices" category

Post **Posted:** Tue Dec 06, 2016 1:14 am

and lablakely dress uses the same effect

Post **Posted:** Wed Dec 07, 2016 11:30 pm

All of them are 1s!!!

But....

1) Winters Love
2) Mouth Wooed Her
3) Visiting Friends
4) Softest Voice
5) Who Could Win A Rabbit
6) Sweet Road
7) Leaf House
8) Whaddit I Done
9) Kids On Holiday
10) We Tigers
11) Good Lovin Outside
12) College

Post **Posted:** Thu Dec 08, 2016 12:15 am

I don't think Too Soon or Lablakely Dress use the effect as similarly as Whaddit I Done and Infant Dressing Table. The frequency of the tremolo or whatever it is is higher in Too Soon and especially Lablakely so it sounds pretty different to me.

which seems weird to me cause it's such a gem. Not even one of the "weird" songs on the album

Post **Posted:** Thu Dec 08, 2016 1:55 am

I think it sounds too similar too Mouth Wooed Her to come straight after it

same. took me a long time to get into it because I glazed over it a bit, felt like the only song that repeated a flavour from elsewhere on the album

Post **Posted:** Thu Dec 08, 2016 6:17 am

I love the MPP-era radio session of Good Lovin though, really sold the song for me
