    Without stating the obvious: Jeff on an airport, Mike near trains... What does it signify???



    It signifies that the did these vignettes with little budget and were bored. ;)

    The airport and train tracks are next to the 10C warehouse.

    It sounds like a book for kids: Planes, trains, and automobiles. :)

    I honestly think it does signify something more though. (And no, I am not smoking anything.) In each vignette both Jeff and Mike are at some point overshadowed by the sound of a train and plane. Jeff even stops and looks up. It could say something about the lyrics of Sirens or the idea behind the album, which is probably summarized by the lyrics in LB: to be overthrown or struck by something, much more powerful than yourself.

    Sirens: Right, we’ve reached cheesy ballad territory now. Any remaining hope that the album signals a return to a consistently harder rocking Pearl Jam sound is dwindling. The band think highly of this one apparently, but it’s bit too fluffy and middle-aged sounding for these ears.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs

    They were angry in the early 90s, and they are happy now. Everyone who does not realize that their hardest sounding music days are behind them is delirious. Enjoy Mind Your Manners and get over it Drowned In Sound.

    Yeah, this tune is a bit of a letdown... power-ballady version of Just Breathe but better. Some country in there too. It's a decent song.

    No cheese or country coming out of my speakers. It's a ballad with a killer sound.

    ugh- was hoping for more from this tune. Ed sounds good but another slow ballad. Will probably open up live-
    Matchbox 20 anyone :)

    I haven't heard the song, but I'm sure looking forward to that one! Actually, if I had to pick one song, that's the one I am most looking forward to hearing, and I don't even know why! :lol:

    Some advice, lower your expectations.

    Some people's review of this song makes me once again realize that expectations have been set way too high. Music is meant to be enjoyed- not nitpick every little thing that is not perfect in your eyes. If you love the older angrier stuff, listen to one of the thousand bootlegs that are available.

    Agree. Depending how Infalible, Pendulum and YM turn out, and if they are solid, this album has a chance to be better than Avocado (and already better than BS)
