Still loving it. Still five stars. Most enjoyable song since Yield.
While a Western guitar motif lost on the swings drum bass fusion, get your own thoughts into the subconscious often forgotten. "Pendulum" is a sweeping soul from the ballast.

Re: New Song (9.19.13): Sirens
Once you get past the initial 'WTF did I just hear? Is that a Pearl Jam song?' You will get to appreciate the fact that this is really one of the best things they have ever done. Or you won't because you just can't accept that they made this song.
Pearl Jam is the only band I'll spend money on.

It's not that you don't like it, that doesn't appear to be an option, it's that you simply can't accept it.Fuzzcharger wrote:So you're saying that once I listen to the song I'll either like it or I won't like it?Release_Me wrote:Once you get past the initial 'WTF did I just hear?

I would like to take this opportunity to say that I accept Pearl Jam have made this song but I still don't like it so much right now.Varis wrote:Birds in Hell wrote:It's not that you don't like it, that doesn't appear to be an option, it's that you simply can't accept it.Fuzzcharger wrote:So you're saying that once I listen to the song I'll either like it or I won't like it?Release_Me wrote:Once you get past the initial 'WTF did I just hear?

Actually, there have been a lot of reactions which bear this out. People just can't seem to accept that Pearl Jam would make such a song and they hate it because they did. Not everyone falls into this category. There are those who just won't like this song because they don't like it, as with any song ever made in the history of the universe.

Check the polls, though. You know you're outnumbered.

Re: New Song (9.19.13): Sirens
Im not sure why i need a poll to tell me what its okay to like. It may seem strange but I like what I like because I find it appealing to me in some manner. As do most of the regular posters around hereRelease_Me wrote:Check the polls, though. You know you're outnumbered.

I still don't see what's apparently so un-Pearl Jam about the song.

Re: New Song (9.19.13): Sirens
Neither do I. I remember reading one post on here which said that this song is probably how most people who don't listen to Pearl Jam imagine the band would sound like and I agree. I think it seems like an natural progression from Backspacer and the Pink Floyd cover they were doing last year.Birds in Hell wrote:I still don't see what's apparently so un-Pearl Jam about the song.

Agreed (and that's an excellent, and accurate, point about the perception of the band among non-fans).Fuzzcharger wrote:Neither do I.

Re: New Song (9.19.13): Sirens
It sounds nothing like they've ever done before. I don't get any of the comparisons with their own songs. Covers are irrelevant because they didn't make those songs.

Nowhere did I imply that polls should tell you what you should or shouldn't like. Polls just tell you you're in the minority.Fuzzcharger wrote:Im not sure why i need a poll to tell me what its okay to like.

Re: New Song (9.19.13): Sirens
And many of the posters around here did an about face once they got around to accepting that indeed Pearl Jam did this. That's the point I was making originally anyway.
