It basically contains the same drum groove, the same reverby, sliding guitars, and the same giant guitar solos.
I'm with you, harmless!

So the resolution of this issue is you'll love Lightning Bolt the album, but if you don't like Sirens, on track #4, it's just a little pin prick, there'll be no more AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! but you may feel a little sick.

Buy in.
It'll shut you up.
Try it.
It should shut you up.
We've brought someone in
to shut you up.

It's a life's work.

My friend texted me today: "Sirens is such a solid song." I replied telling him I haven't head it yet. He replied, "Probably my favorite PJ song in the last 10 years."

This is a musician friend of mine whose opinion I trust and value. We agree on a lot when it comes to popular music. He also isn't a die-hard Pearl Jam fan. He was converted during their last US tour. He was lukewarm on Backspacer.

Just thought I'd share what a random civilian thinks.

Notice: I did not say anything about the quality of the song


Thus the conundrum.

Three albums.

Wait, no... two. You're right.

Yeah I corrected the post. I do think it shits all over any song since Riot Act, but I have been drinking.

I take it you didn't see the bit underneath where I said "Edit: no, you're right."
