Song of the Moment: Sirens

[McParadigm]

This helped wash out my earholes after that one.

I had Blues in My Bottle on vinyl once upon a time.

:splurt:

[McParadigm]

Am I the only one who thinks "meh"?

Nope. I honestly think I hate it...

I'm still very much "I can see that they're doing this thing well, but it's doing nothing for me."

[Lounge Lizard]

Am I the only one who thinks "meh"?

no

[simonsc]

I'm still very much "I can see that they're doing this thing well, but it's doing nothing for me."

I'm in the same boat. I keep listening, and I keep not caring much. I really want to get into this, I promise.

Still holding out hope for the album overall, though.

they say you need to have kids to really get it.

[darth_vedder]

On the 2nd listen now. It's not improving for me. I do like Ed's falsetto though and weird sound around the 1:42 mark.

I don't hate this one, but I don't like it as of now either. Maybe 2.5 stars at this stage. Maybe it'll improve, but I don't know.

Kinda strange...as I got out of my car this morning at work, there was breaking news that a train and a bus had collided here in Ottawa. Turns out six people died and it has really been hanging over everyone in this city today. This song seems to have a little added poignancy given the mood around here...

But I have kids.

Wow. I don't know what to say other than yeah, that'll add some poignancy to this.

Me too and I don't get it.

Yikes, I hadn't hear that one yet.

[Fuzzcharger]

Sirens doesn't seem that far removed from a song like this:



I can hear how McCready might have thought it sounded like a Pink Floyd song to begin with but that piano is a commercial power ballad staple. I did find it funny in the Sirens video how McCready takes his acoustic guitar off and has his electric guitar underneath ready to go for the solo.

That kind of problem does run in my family...

I think they're doing something bad well. What possessed them to go down this road ill never know. Did they hear this when they finished and think "a little 90s bon jovi cheese ha awesome" or did they think "shit is hot fire we sound intense" I wonder.

Me too and I don't get it.

Perhaps you need to have kids and be desperately wanting to like this song also.

It was a double decker bus full of commuters. What a mess.

All I ever needed
was the one
Like freedom fields
where wild horses run

[Harry Lime]

Yeah, I don't know. This song is really coming close to treading the territory of the montonous sounds of modern day cock rock. I'm talking Nickleback here. I hate it.

This helped wash out my earholes after that one.

You can wash out any earhole with this blues. Fricken love Lightnin Hopkins. Take it to my Blues Thread that everyone decided to ignore in OB.

[darth_vedder]

So are the fan bois at the Pit spanking it to this song?
