Yep, I totally agree that it's a snoozer not only for a song, but as an opener for the album. I think Lindsey even said once (?) that the reason they opened with OAO was because they wanted to do a total 180 from what they'd done in the past; instead of opening with an up-tempo, poppy number, they'd start with a mellow, dreamy, flowy kind of thing. I think they (Lindsey) were trying to set a new feel for the album, but they were also trying to make a statement with this unconventional Mac start-off as an opener. In other words, I think Lindsey was going for something a bit symbolic here. I could be over-analyzing.
