Its a great song
No
Yes

What exactly is your definition of a "great" song? Surely there is more to it than 'the singer sounds really good'.
Obviously its all opinion because you will find someone who hates the greatest song in the world. But on my limited listens i am loving everything im hearing from sirens, and the style isn't something im offended by as a lot seem to be. But its also new PJ and i pretty much always love new PJ, so it will take some time to see how i really feel about it.
But as far as defining a great song, i think it just what the listener feels is great.
For instance, I really dislike the Beatles.
Exactly, and to me it blows my mind that someone can dislike the beatles, especially the later stuff, but to each their own

So Jeff wrote 4 songs on this album and I haven't heard any yet. Also, from the interviews I'm getting the feeling stone and Jeff really dug in on arrangements and textures on them
I've only heard two studio songs (both mike songs)

Can't wait to hear this beast next week!

he's my favorite one when it comes to challenge PJ's abilities. Jeff knows how to write a song that will get the best out of the band and still remain badass. i :heartbeat: Jeff.

the best way to make sure the album sounds good is to only listen to shitty music for the week running up to the album release.

do not listen to anything better than pearl jam; such as led zeppelin, soundgarden, jimi hendrix, eric clapton, mc hammer, or neil young

I haven't paid attention to jack shit since Wrigley back in July. What'd I miss?
I might be able to get to an E-bow.
