Nah. I couldn't even get through it honestly. I love XTC but you could tell they were getting lost after english settlement and them stopping touring. Cheers to Rundgren for wrangling them in on Skylarking and for also giving Collin more time to shine

o&l sucks and people who hold up late period xtc as their peak are mentally challenged. They had good singles and such but the full lengths get increasingly adult-contemporary

literally the songs that most meet that description from that album were the singles

I apologize, I was speaking a bit too vaguely. As far as o&l, I like Scarecrow People and Skeleton Steps Out (only the version on transistor blast though). Simpleton is nice but it feels a bit choked by its own necktie.

I'm an adult, maybe that's why I don't mind it
>>130509476
Those are probably the shittiest songs on the album. Novelty tunes that wouldn't be out of place on a compilation album with The Monster Mash

Maybe they may seem that way initially, I wasn't fond of them at first blush. I think Scarecrow People is fascinating harmonically, and when the last chorus plays nicer than the others it's a very sweet payoff. I don't like all of Andy's harmonic experiments (I can't make heads or tails of Another Satellite), but that one works once you've heard it a few times.
