"Season Cycle" is possibly the best XTC song ever.

Ballad For A Rainy Day, 1000 Umbrellas and Season Cycle is probably the best song trio in XTCs discography. But then again the last five songs on Oranges And Lemons are a quite nice packet, too. Hmm...

The album starts off best out of all the albums. If it weren't for Supergirl, the entire album would've been spectacular.

"Summer's Cauldron" is of course one of the best XTC album openers and a masterpiece of a song. Some of Partridge's very best lyrics. But I never experienced "Grass" and "The Meeting Place" as outstanding songs.

I really loved Supergirl when I first got the album. But it started to feel stale quite soon...

Still the best of them all. Smile

Complete...complete...complete....

I love the 1-2 combo opening. In fact, my kids go nuts for Grass and always ask me to skip Summer's Cauldron so that they can sing to it several times in a row. They really enjoy the video, which is one of the few good ones XTC did.

"Earn Enough For Us."

The best Beatle song the Beatles didn't make.

I just love Summer's Cauldron/Grass (I cannot lsiten to the two separately) & Earn Enough For Us. Three corking songs IMO.
