I agree... great song and always sounds good on all the 2003 boots... I love Riot Act because of Cropduster, Can't Keep, Green Disease, All or None and Half Full.... 5 of their best songs ever in my opinion...

It changes key. Songs like that are always going to be of the type that some people adore and others feel distain for.

"Cropduster" is #3 on Riot Act for me, behind "1/2 Full" and "Save You".

I love Cropduster. It's always been my favorite on Riot Act. I think it's some of Ed's best lyrics.

its alright. not a fan of the lyrics to be honest. good music, one of camerons better efforts. at least it shows some kind of interest in making something other than the boring bog standard riffs of avacado. id say there are better tracks on riot act such as half full and cant keep though.

The 2005 versions are quite groovy since the bass and the drums are cleaner.

It's kind of jaunty and I like it in the right mood. But something about it never sat right with me. Ask me what it is and I couldn't tell you though :?

It's my favorite bad song on Riot Act.

I like the ending, but the verses are too choppy and I hate how Ed sings them.

anything in 7/8 time that rocks that hard is a great song. I love the key changes, the temp changes. Cameron is damn neaer a rock genius.

It's definitely a musically advanced song, but the lyrics and vocal melody are both sub par for me. I think it's far from Ed's finest work. Matt had a good idea with this one, it just didn't come out quite right.

Somedays Cropduster is my favorite song on Riot Act. The music is the best part of the song, I think it has a nice flow to it.

I'd like to hear it live someday.
