Sweet is a really good song
Easily the best from AFTW. Simple but poignant. Subject we can all relate to.

I dig it.

    It is a really nice little song. Sounded great in the acoustic set last year.

    Always skip it studio, it's okay live IMO but nothing I'd be looking forward to seeing at a show.

    I like Sweet a lot. The big mistake Dave made was opening with it in 2012. The song is perfect for E1.

    If Only is the probably lone non-turd from AFTW.
    Sweet is one of the worst studio album songs in DMB history.

    Yeah terrible opener, but I've never gotten the hate it receives. I get the lyrics aren't amazing but there's no mention of belly jelly so that's a plus.

    Love this song. The studio version, IMO, is AFTW's version of Hello Again. Good live song, brutal studio track.

    It is a nice lyrical deviation from terribly written dirty love songs and Dave mindlessly lecturing us about polar bears drowning or how we have to be the change we want to see

    A fantastic song that I dig anywhere in the set. I only wish they would extend the jam at the end. It just starts to groove and then it ends.

    I like the chilling vibe of this song. I would like to hear it live acoustic or in the E1 spot.

    I like the change. On AFTW I feel like it's an awkward transition, like Carter comes in a beat too late or something, just doesn't hit my ear correctly. They cleaned it up for the live versions, post-AFTW.

    ha. If Only is maybe my least favorite on AFTW.

    Sweet is a sweet little song. Love when the full band comes in and finishes out the song. Also, love how Dave's voice sounds on the studio version.

    I think If Only is the absolutely worst on AFTW.

    Sweet, BBN, Drunken Soldier, Rooftop, and Snow Outside I would all classify as "pretty good". Live I think Sweet, BBN, and Rooftop are the only ones I enjoy hearing. Rooftop for that sweet bridge that is the best part of the entire album.

    Not a song I'm hoping to hear at a show but prefer this over Seven and the other massively overplayed garbage out there.

    I like it. If I could make one change however, I would want them to shorten the intro a bit and get into the "crescendo" earlier.

    Its a 4:12 long song and it doesn't pick up until about 2:55. Reminds me of Peaches and Cream by John Butler Trio, more so in terms of the style and structure, not the lyrics

    Sweet is a great tune. He wrote about his son swimming...I mean if you can't get on board with the lyrics..you kind of suck.

    If Only is the biggest turd on AFTW -- my opinion, of course.

    Always enjoyed Sweet. Was happy to catch it last year in the acoustic set. Soldier, Sweet, and BT are my top 3 songs from AFTW. Honorable mention to Rooftop and Snow.
