Sirens kind of turned the corner for me after hearing it live. I don't think the record captures it as well as the times I have seen hem play it.

Love Sirens. I don't care if it has november rain sounding drums and an 80s ballad solo. Awesome song My favorite since Sleight of Hand
okay, the only way I can put together Sleight of Hand and Sirens in the same sentence is this: the two songs are two sides of the same coin, one side is gold and the other is crap.
This lead me down a rabbit hole of most viewed videos on youtube. And yikes, what a list of crap. Despacito has 5.1B (yes, billion with a views. Lots of songs by people I wouldn't know if I sat down next to them with well over a billion views. Amazing
Fun fact........the "Charlie bit my finger" video has 860 million views. Wild
Sirens is a weird song that I love. Especially the live outro.
