so, after several listens, i like this song.

although i agree that it's quite cheesy for PJ - i think it's a pretty song. i like the arrangements. it's better than Inside Job (as far as Mike songs go). and i've been thinking about the early Black comparisons...most people will hate me for that but apart from the composition itself, i don't see why this kind of song would sound cheesier than Black. they're both made of the same musical ingredients.

Yup, but a commercialised Biffy Clyro.

It's cake made from some of the same earnest flour.

Full disclosure: I'm not sure what I just said.

Did you listen to their newest album? There are songs that are at least as commercial as Sirens.

By the way, is Glen kind of attractive or is it just me?

I can't really answer that. He's very charismatic. Maybe that's what it is.

Where does one hear the sirens? Probably places like Camden and other "hoods"?
