    I don't know why I should feel surprised a selection of people have taken issue with this song. After all, we're all individuals and because pearl jam has so many facets to their music, it would stand that some fans are going to be more partial to certain aspects over others.

    Although, I find it a bit strange when others latch on to a word or phrase originally written by some music critic. Seems that 'cheese' mantra has really taken hold. Kind of like when people here started declaring Ed as sounding 'tired' on Riot Act after a Rolling Stone reviewer first stated it. Whatevs.

    Personally, I really enjoy Sirens. It only took two listens for it to click. Now I can't get enough of it. The song owes itself to this distinctive quality that always seemed a part of their collective identity since the beginning. It just lifts you up. And it is bold in that they tapped a direct line into that momentous spirit, without the need to circumvent it in any way. And they can manifest it better than any other artist I know of. It's a challenge because Sirens needs to stand beside so many others, like LBC, or Release, even Puzzles and Games is emblematic of that. And I feel it succeeds in every way. But what do I know.

    Thanks for the kind words. It reads a bit clunky in some places but I'm glad I got my point across. Especially since it made me late for work :cry:
    I rather easily get sucked into these things. But then again, don't we all.

    I heard Sirens this morning and I for one am loving this song, sure it's not perfect, but what is. I hear some people say it's not like Pearl Jam, but then I read other posts where people say they don't feel the band has mixed it up enough of late. To each their own I guess, but I'm just enjoying another great PJ song and can't wait for the new album.
    My PJ shows:

    It is good for people to have opinions. No one is going to like every song. What is comical is the way some people can not express those opinions, good or bad, in an intelligent way. Criticism, whether good or bad, if helpful for any artist. But there is also a right way and a wrong way to do it. It is also tiring that some people have to go into every thread and post how much they hate the song, or another song on this album.

    Got a few listens or Sirens in this morning as well.

    I love it. This song has such a vulnerable quality to it, and I give the band tons of credit for that. Can't wait to hear this one live.

    Too me it sounds like something off of The Wall or Division Bell, including the production... Mike needs to extend the solo on the live versions and he can be David Gilmour.

    I love it. I can't wait to listen again.

    Indeed. Had a listen or 10 last night and whoa, it's a real gem. We are in for a completely different journey with this album, and I can't wait to hear it in its entirety.

    Still dont care for it.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    After the first few listens to this I wasn't too fussed...Didn't love it, didn't hate it...

    (I definitely didn't think it was the massive cheese fest that so many have been claiming it is)

    ...But now I absolutely Love it, It might be my 2nd fav out of what I've heard so far...with Let the Records Play being the 1st!

    Discussing something the band hasn't released yet is not ok...please wait until it's released. Thanks.

    I am still wondering if the pre-order people will get a download of Sirens today?
    40+ shows, it is never enough!

    Do you think you would have to pre-order the CD or vinyl or both to get the download of Sirens today?
