Oh really? I love Cropduster but I'm not a fan of Ghost at all. Yet they are the same? Color me shocked.

And they are all the same song as Gods' Dice. Or was it Green Disease? Oh hell, they're all the fucking same.

Ghost has the cool solo sections I suppose, but the verses have a similar aimless quality to them, which one after the other makes me feel like Im listening to the same song. The choruses do differ, but neither is particularly great. I do think Cropduster is the better of the two. Ghost has cool little guitar solos and then the rest is boring. Cropduster has a catchy-ish chorus but bad verses.

"Ghost" has some of my favorite verses in any PJ song. Lyrically, vocally, and melodically.

Actually I do recognize Green Disease only because I think starting a song called Green Disease with "There's a Disease and they're all Green" is really cheesy. So to me it's that "There's a disease and they're all green" song lol. After that no idea

Ghost would be better on an album of tracks that weren't similarly aimless and inconsequential sounding. Riot Act I feel like I climbed into a pit and can't get out. Ghost might be better in a different context, surrounded by different songs that remind me less of Ghost.

Ghost is 3rd on Riot Act behind Cropduster and Get Right. And right above Help, Help.

We are the same, you and I. Get Right, Cropduster, Ghost, and You Are are my top Riot Act songs. But I don't really hate any of that album.

I like You Are, but rhyming ooh ah, with you are is pretty unforgivable

I adore YA, but this is a fair complaint.

I actually agree with this too! :shock: But who cares, You Are is fucking awesome. It is my favorite RA track.
