Someone got the newsletter already over on the Pit. No mention of Sirens.

I just saw the newsletter in my e-mail. Pretty lame.

On a purely strategic level, it would make more sense for them to drop a new single within the last 2 weeks or so before the album hits. Mind Your Manners is still pulling good numbers, and matching a single and album is common practice....they feed each other, in that news agencies reporting the success of one promote the success of the other.

I don't see why it's lame. Someone on the pit said 'Maybe they'll put it in Tuesday's email!' or something, and then everyone started assuming that's what would happen.

But still... I really would like to hear this song now.

Of course, I have no idea, but all my instincts and experience tell me that there is absolutely no way they release another single without some kind of official notice. It's not like we're just going to hear it out there. The album might leak, but there won't be a second single for quite some time. That's my strong opinion. We're all just wasting our time thinking otherwise.

Now, if someone would just get to finding an album leak. Let's focus on that.

Yup. I think next week at the earliest as a release date.

What gives is that whoever did it has a great personality and is fucking idiot.

Wouldn't 10 fit the definition of cock rock as an album well? Sometimes is hard to understand what those phrases really mean. For instance what's the difference between power ballad and epic rock? I guess the later is mid tempo and that's about it.

I was thinking this too. Maybe not overall IMHO, and I like the song a lot, but that opening bit of wah guitar sounds pretty cock rock.
