So much. It's the worst. About as bad as using "woke."

Wow - no. Weakest song on the record I believe.

Cropduster, You Are, Get Right, Can't Keep - 5 stars

You couldn't be more wrong.

I'm curious...what do you like about that track?

It sounds good to my ears. I like everything about it. It has a propulsive energy that never stops. Ed's vocals are catchy, restrained, and emotive. I even like the lyrics, people are greedy fuckers. It doesn't sound like a Disney movie song, but Disney movies can have some pretty decent songs.

I like “Green Disease” a lot too — it was one of my first favorite songs on Riot Act, and I think is one of Ed’s best “punky” songs. Also the lyric “like weeds with big leaves/stealing light from what’s beneath” hits different after you’ve tried maintaining a garden.

Almost as cringe as wordsmithing someone's post.....

no that's fine

I don't think this is the band's "best" album but there are days when it is my personal favorite.

Please don't make us rehash the whole "best v favorite" discourse, MD. We almost made it an entire year!
