Both versions (All These Things and Crocodile) have their strengths and weaknesses. But all things withstanding, I think the boys made the right choice with their final version. As much as I like the ambient feel of All These Things, I don't think the little 3/4 timed ambient pad would've sustained the album version. Sounds good live, but... album is different. And also, I've finally come to terms with the amount of reverb put on Karl's voice, because his voice fills in for that pad. It becomes the spine of the melody.
