It is one of the greatest PJ songs ever......In fact.......I think it is one of the greatest songs of all time.......Unbelievable with this band......But on the flipside......I just love all of them.....but Sirens is amazing......I do not think any band that has been around for 22 years had come up with a masterpiece like this one .........PEARL JAM FOREVERAFTER!

    I can't take this anymore, and it has to be said....

    Sirens is the epitome of blind loyalty and fanboy-ism(?) of this band (along with Ole'). My God you are all fucking nuts to think this is a good song, let alone a song this band should be associated with. For fuck's sake....

    Ole I agree with, but I genuinely love Sirens. Look forward to it every time I listen to Lightning Bolt. I agree with OP. Cheers!

    Or maybe we just have different tastes? I'm not a fanboy- I hate the bands stands on merch and ticket prices, I acknowledge that the first five albums are better than the last 5 released, I don't like when a member acts like a crybaby on stage, I despise Ole (as well as a few other songs), but I LOVE Sirens. Lyrics are fantastic and ballad style music is good too.

    Well said. Different opinions are ok. I happen to like Ole. For me Dissident is one of PJ's worst song but I'm not gonna go around and blast others who love it. Plenty of other songs that do nothing for me too. Thats the beauty of this band, so much diversity.

    Saying someone needs to rank No Code as their favorite album to be a true fan is the epitome of fanboy-ism. Liking Sirens is not.

    It is a great song.

    Well, No Code *is* their masterpiece... in my opinion.

    Sirens -- I was repelled at first listen -- not even "meh," plain old "WTH?!?" It's a devious beast, though -- it sank its claws into my brain after just that first listen, and now I enjoy it. I am not sure how it will hold up over time; I can see it going either way with me.

    Now, Yellow Moon, *that* is a lush, amazing song.

    I'm going more with the flip side of this argument. The "Sirens" hate is more the product of the modern blog/message board mentality. If it's popular, too close to mainstream, not retro enough, out of the comfort zone, etc, etc...then it's cool to hate it. "Oh PJ is being played on the radio again? I hate that song. But you should hear the performance of Bugs at the Philly show in '09!!! I'm cool enough to know that song!!!"

    I think you have me confused with someone else. I just thought I would finally make a comment in one of these many psychotic posts about how awesome this song is - this band could literally put their feces on vinyl and most of you people would eat it up.

    agree 100%. a lot of these same people would have been trashing Daughter in 1993 because it was too light or mainstream and not the 2nd coming of Even Flow or Alive. and can you imagine the shit storm if they released Better Man under today's environment?

    I agree. It may be grandiose or whatever, but I enjoy it, I think it's beautiful, and, if you don't like it don't listen to it. Art is subjective.

    No Binaural! No code is second.

    I can't do sirens Man. I was punished though. Went to get a beer during sirens and had to run back because they played a top 5 (In My Tree) next. So yes PJ, I love sirens as long as you play Long Road at my next concert.

    Oh and dissident is good in small doses, ha ha.

    Is there a hate campaign going on towards a Pearl Jam song here? If that's the case, it doesn't fit in with the Posting Guidelines and some people are going to find their forum accounts read-only....not having it...capisce?

    I enjoy the shit out of Sirens while understanding that not everyone agrees with my connection to it. It's the same with PJ themselves. Some people like them, some don't. Don't incite anger over an opinion. I'm all for spicing up the forum every now and then but....

    BTW I love the last five albums, but I ranked all ten of them a few weeks ago, and they just happened to sort out this way.

  • Been a huge fan since day 1. Loved all the albums and there's very few tracks that I don't like. Got to admit I wasn't keen on sirens when I first heard it. Since LB came out I have a new found love for it. It's a real grower and I don't get how people can think it's any worse than some of their other ballads over the years.
