the sooner we all accept the fact that Sirens is a good song the sooner we can all move on with our lives.


I'm with Trag--other than Bu$hleaguer that's a pretty spot on list. I'd maybe replace RVM with animal, but I wouldn't go to the wall over it.

I don't hate Sirens, I just never really feel like listening to it.

The case for Bu$hleaguer defining the Riot Act era - claustrophobic sound, political lyrics, ed is down, "retrenchment" or reducing oneself in the face of difficulty, becomes a defiant centerpiece of the tour, , etc.

haha. When I first played the song (as a single release), my wife asked why I was listening to (and I quote) "Old dude rock" she had no idea it was pearl jam.

For some odd reason, Sirens on its own doesn't do it. However, when in context of the record...it really is a great song. Even if Matt has the wrong feel w the drums ;)
