Okay, maybe I do like Sirens, after all

I mean, I really, really, really actively disliked that song on first listen. But it wormed its way into my brain anyway. Now I've heard it three times all the way through, and I like it -- all of it.

I said I would come back and admit if my opinion changed. It did, so here I am.
All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

    I listened to it twice before deciding to wait to hear it on the album and draw my conclusions then (obviously, I wasn't crazy about it upon first listen). Streaming the album now.....and I'm a believer. It is a good song.

    I hated it after my first couple of listens, but it may be growing on me a little bit. I don't hate it anymore, but I still don't like it either...it's kind of in-between for me.

    Same here. I kinda looked at it as a "safe" song that was kind of phoned in. It wasn't bad but not what I expected. The more I listen to it, the more I love it. Great song.

    haha love this thread :) as I didn't not like it I just didn't listen to it but once but it has weasled it's way into my brain today after about the 3rd album listen. Knowing the lyrics now has just made it all the more freakin awesome.

    Me, just the other way round, I really loved it at the beginning, listened to it a lot, it's worn out for me, now I just can't stand it... :P :mrgreen::lol::D:o :shock: :lolno: :wave:
