Well, Pearl Jam has said nothing about it...

Well of course he won't say he does on here, but with Pete it's usually a case of the lady doth protest too much.

He is "Volunteer Troll" for the No Leak Club.

Yeah, he's actually been fangirling out to it all day long, listening to it with the lights off. Finally was able to regain composure long enough to come in here and pretend ask for a link.

I was thinking that Sirens is something PJ has never done, they've had cheesy but not like Sirens, but in some weird way couldn't that be seen as "experimental"? Because it's so different, and so produced? It's new....

Yep, that's what I'm going with. I do like the song though despite the cheese. Maybe because I'm older and I get the message. Not an angry teen no more and clearly it means a lot to PJ.

Worryingly I'm not even sure it means anything to PJ.

They've never *tried* to be cheesy but they're all cheesy and cheesy people don't realise they're cheesy.
