Stupid Mop was a bigger WTF than any of these AND was actually great.

I don't think so, it was just a joke.

Nope, look around. Compared to this morning, the positive feedback is really starting to build... you know, like a wave... like... oh fuck it, nevermind :shake:
I hope so. I don't want this song dismissed outright.

Sorry, I'm pages behind. It's interesting to see how confused everyone is by this song. It seems that with PJ's recent stuff, there's a knee jerk move to one side of the fence or the other by most everyone here. Of course, with more time for the music to ferment, the listener might even alter their opinion somewhat.

It seems that with Sirens, nobody has any idea where to go to begin with...but that might be changing a little now from what I'm seeing...

Yeah everyone's going to hate this. I love the song but I'm going to be ashamed of the video by the looks of it.

Has a video been confirmed? When's the last time Pearl Jam have done two videos for an album?

I'm hoping it's got a pink siren on it, and looks full of cheesy excess, for a reason. But wow I thought they might try and pare it back in a video but apparently not.

The Fixer didn't catch me off guard at all. It always made perfect sense to me as a Pearl Jam song. It's a bit light, but that was precisely what they were going for with it.
