    I'm not gonna sugar coat it...I hate the arrangement, I may possibly hate the whole dang song. I'm keeping in mind many other songs I hated but then loved so I'm going to give it a few more listens.

    Listened to it 3 times back to back already and I think each time I hated it more...(I don't remember ever hating a PJ song on the first listen this much) Reminds of like Meatloaf or something, I dunno it's wimpy sounding perhaps. I mean betterman has spikey balls compared to this. This just doesn't sound like a "PJ" song. Maybe I'll like it better live but I'm secretly hoping I don't get to hear it live now after hearing the video. I was excited when I heard the the title "sirens" sounded interestingly cool. I was imagining something like Lukin hahahha whoa was I off base...lol

    Not a real big sinful thing to not like one song, they have hundreds of other greats so please don't hate on me for giving my opinion...I do think I like the lyrics and I know I like the Mc Creadsters solo in it so there are a few "bright spots" lol. I know I do however hate the piano part bigtime not the actual playing but it's insertion into this song.

    Go ahead and tell me how crazy I am..I can take a beat down!

    Don't be surprised if I love this song someday though, because that does happen with PJ cause I know live they could flip this thing into something totally different. It's gonna have to be a big flip!


    OPEN ROAST :lol::lol:

    Your post sounds like a whiny miley cyrus fan upset that she's now into licking hammers instead of making beaded wrist bands!

    NEXT!!!!! :lol:


    Not whining at all here...don't know how it came off as sounding whiny. PJ is a great band and that can never be changed no matter how many Bon Jovi songs they make from here on out. Bon Jovi sells out shows and has a huge following so PJ will do just fine with this sort of music if they choose to go this route.


    I'm excited, overjoyed and thrilled for everyone that can enjoy this song, rock on, sway on, get your lighters out, whatever...
    I personally am just not into this sort of song at all and yes I do miss the cute innocent Miley Cyrus. I still rock all her old albums :D
    Oh dear dad
    Can you see me now
    I am myself
    Like you somehow
    I'll ride the wave
    Where it takes me
    I'll hold the pain
    Release me

    Ed's voice makes me swoon... :o Love the pared down video - simple, no special effects, just focused on the music.

    I'm not into comparing the new songs, or comparing the new album to other albums. I'm just living in the moment with new Pearl Jam. Doesn't get any better than that. I mean it's PEARL JAM guys, how lucky are we that they're still making really fine music after all these years!
    I escaped it...a life wasted...I'm never going back again

    Oh make no mistake, this will be played at every show this year. People, they are touring to promote their new album and this is one of the singles from that album. Just how they played The Fixer and Just Breathe at every show for the backspacer tour.

    This song will be a show killer. One of you sheep can take my spot on the rail for Pitt or Philly when this song is played.

    Lightning Bolt is going to be a GREAT live song, it was at Wrigley. But Sirens is a bathroom break song.

    Wow. Sirens definitely is a different type of song and sound for PJ. I like it, but it definitely has some 80s rock ballad undertones to it - my only minor complaint. What stands out to me are Ed's vocals sound great, great playing by Stone, love Mike's electric guitar solo, and like Jeff's bass line with Boom's keys highlighting everything. Everyone is incorporated into the song - Mike playing acoustic and electric, Ed plays guitar, Boom playing some keys, and Mike/Matt/Stone/Jeff all sing. I like it and the lyrics and Ed's vocals are flooring. Definitely a different direction than anything we've heard before.

    I think we're in store for a very diverse album. I love PJ. Best in the business.

    Agree. I really love Lightning Bolt. Was hoping it would be the next single. :)

    I like Brussels sprouts, broccoli and spinach but a lot of folks don't.

    Everybody has their own opinions. No need to hate on someone that happens to not like something. To each his own.

    No need to make harsh comments against anyone just because someone doesn't like the damn song.

    I don't fucking like the damn song and that's that. I tried I really did, I listened to it 7 times already and have made up my mind. I hate it. Not a Nickleback / Creed sort of hate, but a stern dislike :D I do like MYM

    Now for everyone that LOVES IT go crank it up and enjoy it u lucky fuckers!!!

    He's got a point. A new song comes out, its not universally liked and the gang mentality is, "Hey the band matured, so you don't get it anymore; or you're not a fan etc...." Hence the "sheep" and there's a lot of that going on here.

    Maybe you like it, awesome, but some of this is just blind adoration. When a lot of comments are like "the music's alright but his voice is awesome" or "on my 12th listen, it really hit me.", its really telling.

    I'd love to be able to just like everything that comes down the pipe but this song is pretty bad considering its source, we're gonna call it as such and there are a shit ton of sheep on here that are working really really hard to convince us otherwise. So yeah, "sheep".

    And after listening more and more, this song sounds more and more like a generic, lazy and boring rock song. From Pearl Jam. And even on songs I don't like I'd never use those words and that sucks.

    End of rant, that's my opinion and here's to hoping the the rest of the album picks up the slack.

    After about 10 listens, i absolutely love the song. Not sure why because it is a kind of typical rock ballad....maybe it's the lyrics....deep and personal....and very relatable. Just a great song in my opinion.

    This song has some 'modern country' in it. Most certainly different from classic PJ but, PJ always manages to surprise like or not. It is an immense song. Nice job PJ!! See you in a month!

    Love it, love it, LOVE IT!
    I must admit I was kind of scared to hear it because of all the speculation, but it just took me 2 listens to be absolutelly fond of it :D
    I don't care if it's too mainstream, or romantic, or if it's not how the band is supposed to sound. In fact, I think the best about the guys is that you cannot atempt to define their style. They are just who they are, they don't care what anybody thinks or says, and they continue to amaze me and surprise me with their music!
    Thanks PJ, and keep it coming!

    Still terrible.
    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.
