Just got back to Philly from the show and it was awesome, maybe not quite the spectrum or state college but I guess I'm biased. I loved hearing world wide suicide come back and I can't tell you how much I love Marker in the Sand. I think that is just a great great song. However, am I the only one that thinks that cropduster is a horrible song. It is so damn boring. Don't get me wrong I love most of what the boys do but can we admit that this song belongs in the garbage. Your feelings.

    I love Cropduster.

    Great song.

    I guess we just share different opinions on this song. It's my least favorite out of anything they've done. Even Sweet Lew is better

    Oh come on, there are one or two other doosies on Riot Act that I'd definitely place in that category other than Cropduster.

    I love Cropduster. My fav. on Riot Act & was not expecting them to pull it out this tour as it's obviously not a crowd fav. I, on the other hand, was in all my glory when I heard it start. Great, great, song...& quite a few people in my section seemed to enjoy it as well. :)

    the moon is rollin rooooouuundd... theeeeeeeeeee worrrrlldddd..

    how can you NOT love that! it's such a beautifully written song, it gives me chills every time. i flipped, FLIPPED the fuck out when i heard it a few hours ago.

    Each to their own my friend, if you hate the song it doesn't matter how many other people tell you they love it, it's not going to change your mind. I personally hate Otherside. I think it is by far their worst song, a horrible, horrible song. It's the only song of theirs that I think is pure crap. There are plenty though that love it and are desperate to hear it played live and I'll be happy for them if they get their wish.

    Just woke up after getting my getting fucking socks rocked off last night!!!!

    When they busted this Riot Act turd out I thought it completely killed the momentum of the show at that point.

    Don't care if you like this song or not, everyone has an opinion. Mine is that this song is hella-lame.

    Awesome show last night, thanks 10C for some awesome seats as well!!!!

    I'd rather hear You Are or I Am Mine to represent RA. Cropduster is one of my least favorite PJ songs.

    Im a big fan... usually people you hate cropduster, hate riot act. and people that get it, get riot act.

    I dont find it forgettable, nice lyrics. It never really fits in the live shows.. but same with army reserve and unemployable IMO. and i also like those tunes.

    you only need to look at my sig to see my cropduster love.

    OH! and at MSG did ed do the "ROU-OU-OU-OU-OU-AH-AH-AH ah ah" ?

    don't care for it. never have. probably never will. It was my "Green Disease" of the night. Can't make myself like that song either. Know I am in the minority. It's growing on me a tiny little bit - but not too much!!!

    Cropduster has a decent opening riff and then it goes off into suckland.

    Out of the entire PJ catalog, I think the only two songs i'm not fond of are Ghost and Cropduster. I remember reading a review that said these sound like a garage band wrote them, and I agree. They're not bad, just not full PJ potential...nobody can be perfect 100% of the time.
