I'm shocked by the love for this song. I read where someone said it's right there with "Alive" as an anthem. You, sir, should be shot.
Interestingly enough, I rarely if ever feel the need to make fun of songs I don't like from bands that I love. There were bad songs on around the sun I don care to ever hear again but it would not occur to me to make fun of them
Im the same way, i may make fun of songs from artists that i have no respect for, but every band misses every once and a while( though im in the group that doesn't think sirens is a miss)
:haha: :haha: :haha: I need to give this whole thing a listen...
I hate to say I love you,
But oh goddamn I love you,
You know I do.

It's already over 700,000 YouTube views bro.
100,000 of those are mine.
500,000 of those were from comedians researching topics for their next tour.

I think Berzerk has me looking forward to the new Eminem album more than Sirens has me excited for Lightning Bolt. You Tube views confirms that I am indeed correct.

Yeah I'd say that's about right as a ballpark figure.

Now I'm concerned. Does that make Pearl Jam a really shitty pop band?

Not really, because 340,000 of those views were from people who hate shitty pop bands but still think that, although Sirens is nice, it's invalidated because Ed has abandoned all his principles.

Seems like a lot of views in only a few days.

Just checked Arcade Fire's Reflektor - over 2,500,000 views in just under 2 weeks.

What Broken Iris is implying is that Sirens is of the highest quality.

They don't need to. She looks the same as all those other generic pin-ups married to famous people.

Phew. Sirens will slow to a crawl. Hopefully.
