went in a different direction but i love it. im not trying to be a Pearl Jam homer, i really think this is a great song that will definitely get a ton of radio play. i think this has the potential to be as big of a song to the public as the earlier songs were, very happy with Sirens.

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 I do like MYM
Now for everyone that LOVES IT go crank it up and enjoy it u lucky fuckers!!!
Everything you said there is fine, no one should get upset with you for that. It's the people that come and just say rude nasty things about the song and state them as facts rather than opinions.
I just listened to this a couple of times. I think my favorite band ever has finally lost it. Such a generic and boring song.
This band keeps getting worse. Backspacer was pretty bad and this seems destined to suck even more. Compare Sirens with Parachutes for instance, that was a pretty inventive and lovely song. eh, I am sad/mad.

imo and all that.
I'll take Sirens over Parachutes and Just Breathe all day long. Parachutes just drones on, at least Sirens has a bad ass Mike solo.

Greeting from Jakarta, Indonesia
I looovveee this song! But, just like in this forum, the mailing list and facebook group of Pearl Jam Indonesia fans club are also full with disagreement. Some love Sirens, some others don't (or even hate it)
Hopefully they will play this song when they visit Jakarta next year (day dreaming, I Know)
Dear Pearl Jam, please come & play Jakarta, Indonesia

I can see why "Sirens" would appeal to a lot of fans. I really can see that and I'm glad a lot of fans out there are touched and stoked by this song. For me, after hearing the song I yearn to listen to Yield of No Code or some Mirror Ball.
So yeah, it doesn't work for me- a little to mainstream sounding- but that's just me and I'm cool and those of you who love "Sirens" are cool so cool.

OK, so after further listening I must add that besides being glad for those who love the song, I also very much empathize with those who are turned off by and/or disappointed. Many of the negative reviews here strike a chord in me that I understand- a chord with some dirt and a bit of feedback and one that is perhaps even just a little out of tune. A chord that sounds real and alive rather than polished to a fine sheen.

Wow ... With an attitude like that I'm not too sure they will care to greatly
All the talk about those of us who may not like the song because we're stuck in the past....Is this sound / arrangement not considered the past?
As in before PJ, like an early eighties ballad?
I guess I'm stuck on advancing into the future and this just goes way too far back for me.
Am I crazy or have they re-invented the wheel here? Is this a revolutionary, game changing, mind blowing track?
All I'm getting is a Lifetime movie soundtrack vibe off it.
This sort of thing is why they make Hallmark cards. I don't like my Pearl Jam goin all lovey dovey on me.
Is there a Yoko ono thing goin on with one of the guys I don't know about?
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
The band and its commercial department have clearly changed the marketing strategy since before the release of self titled. LB seems to be the climax of a series of transformations both musically and attitudinal.(I thought that point was the Oracle show yet they are unstoppable)
Also it's unavoidable for a band not to be predictable and tired after 23 years. In my opinion, Pearl Jam so far have six great albums, one very impressive debut, one average and one below average. These are fine statistics.
Sirens couldn't be more accurate about the band's intentions. I don't like it at all, but I like nothing since 2006 except Parachutes, Unemployable and Army Reserve, so it's OK by me.
I'm happy for those who will enjoy LB.
I love it. And I really don't care what anybody thinks about it. I love it and that is all that matters to me.
YES.

you know what..
i usually get pissed with negative comments..
but this time im actually happy see them..and the reason is that most people saying they dont like the song cos
pj change to something different.....
well..i love it..cos i want a fuckin 50 years old man to act like one and not act like how was as teenager..
i did all that crazy shit when i was 20 years old, i was pissed with all and everything,i cared only to get laid and get drunk..no care about feelings,or any important things..
after 22 years i want the band to put out their experience in life,by puting that in music and lyrics
, and not try to pass me the image of the oldie stay forever fake aqngry teenager..
and talk to me about important things,
and fuckin Love is one of them...
Love has alot of diffirent sounds and different colors..
sometimes Love talks you via colors..and can be fuckin Black...
sometimes transformed to sound ...and in your head,,you listen to Sirens
Thank You Mike and Pearl Jam for this song..
im very happy that your music and lyrics after all this years still create feelings to me.....
and im more happy cos this Brilliant song talk to my fuckin soul.....
even if you choose to stay, I'll wait, I'll understand...
However ....its not easy the Fear to Go Away..

I understand why some people may not like it, but hey Pearl Jam are making the music they want to make, not people who want another Ten
I for one was kind of iffy but by the 4th listen I was totally into it and ever since I like it more and more with each listen

Lol!!!!
I know what to do. Lets go over to the You Tube reviews to break the tie ???
It is done. The song has over 200k views and lots of reviews and 95% of them are positive.
Case closed, its a good song.
