Then we could be getting the soundcheck song, which sounds pottentially awesome AND sirens, which has been described as potentially awesome.

I still have a gut feeling that this album is going to be quite spectacular. Lightning Bolt really does it for me. Future Days I almost can't stomach, but the Sirens soundcheck just re-enforces my excitement.
There is no confirmation that that's Sirens at the soundcheck. Also, the soundcheck song doesn't really sound like what people have described as Sirens.
I thought the siren at the beginning made it sound like the description of Sirens (sans the keys). Regardless, I'm really excited to hear what that song actually is.

1) I know, but I dont know what it is so its likely to be on the album somewhere and 2) considering PJ fans have been describing every emotional 'driving ballad' since Inside Job as 'like Black', I think it might. I don't trust over enthusiastic PJ descriptions.

It's as soon as the audio clip starts. I didn't hear it first, so maybe I have tricked myself into hearing it, but I hear it instantly now. It doesn't sound like feedback to me either.

I thought I heard sirens described as a song with piano in it.

I really don't see the fuss about whatever that was about that sound heck song either. It's plodding. Can't be too hard about it cos all that can be heard is the rhythm section and tempo(barely). But we can't be too excited either.

Imagine we'd first heard Amongst the waves via the same recording. We'd all have creamed ourselves, only to be severely disappointed.

the soundcheck song was neither here nor there for me, but I only listened to it once or twice. What I really hope is on the album is that wonderful instrumental bit from the tour video. The dark brooding thing

Agreed. That was truly tantalising.

Not at all. Just rather not experience gonorrhea ever again, if I can avoid it.

that the song is sirens is also entirely speculative.
