The extreme reactions of love or hate have me incredibly intrigued here, won't be able to listen till I get off work, but god damn people. I'm expecting either complete shit or something almost epic, sprinkled with cheese.

It is pretty epic with lots of parmeggiano on top and some camembert too.

Guys, even if Pearl Jam did make the "experimental" album I've always wanted, I don't think anything on it could surprise me more than this song does.

It's an eternal cheese fondue.

Ed absolutely makes this song. That hasn't happened since I have no idea.

Nobody could possibly tell you how you'll react to this.

I mean, on the one hand, I don't know. This song is crazy confounding. On the other hand, in a totally good way.

I'm confused because I feel like I should be confused but I'm not.

This is a terrible song, right guys? Of course it is. Fuck this shit. Right?

I almost feel guilty for liking this as much as I do. Eddie is flat out killing it, though.

Looks like this album is gonna be all over the map. Like, imagine the person that buys this solely based on MYM :haha:

There was this band called Extreme who had a cheesy acoustic hit, do you remember how it went?
I'm getting a similar feeling from Sirens.
