Yes. Ban Noah from AC singles for 18 months.

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

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

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

I agree about TS tho

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.

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

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

yep, applesauce is good but bloated

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

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?

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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