    These are true power ballads, and Sirens can't hold a candle to any of them.

    Comparing any song to Motley Crue's Home Sweet Home is loosing all credibility... C'mon. So you are stating Home Sweet Home is a better song? It is fine by me. It takes all flavours, but I cannot take this seriously, sorry.

    My friend was going to see Eddie last night. Since he was in Vegas, I gave him 5 Grand to gamble with. I told him I wanted it all to go on Black. Bastard! PhillyCrownOfThorns-11-2-12

    Hahahahha, I think I'm Open, Immortality, Sometimes, Sleight of Hand, Parting Ways are all pretty introspective however...

    true but I don't think the general theme of those albums were about being introspective about love and life as this album clearly seems to be heading.

    and Home Sweet Home, Love Bites and Every Rose Has It's Thorn are great songs. Ignore the picture of who might be singing those and process the songs themselves. I dig those 3 songs too.

    I think at first it is pretty easy to discount Sirens as a "power ballad" because tonally it is very similar. However, that's pretty much where the comparison ends. Lyrically, Sirens is pretty dividing because of the content. I think it comes down to the listener being able to relate to the lyrics being sung. If you can't relate, you might think, ok this is cheesy... if you can relate then I think it comes off wonderfully.
    I disagree. I can totally relate to the lyrics and the meaning. My problems lies only in the arrangement.

    Hey, I grew up with these songs. Even had a bottle of hairspray. But they cannot be compared with the fragility of Sirens. Sorry. Sirens is more than just about love. Where the songs above are downright love songs.

    Ps: I left my hairspray bottle a long time ago.

    I like Every Rose, and I like Home Sweet Home because I had my first kiss on that song... But Love Bites - aaahhh, what the hell was I thinking back then...

    It amazes me, no one mentioned White Lion of Skid Row yet.
