So do you think the band is secretly hoping for some cross over smash with Sirens? I haven't heard the song, just getting that soccer mom playlist sort of vibe from some of the responses.

Yer gonna like it lots more.Revelator wrote:So I'm incredibly late to the game, but finally heard Sirens just now. I can def see why there's been such a diverse reaction. It certainly comes off cheesy (and yeah the solo doesn't help), but I also have to agree that Eddie sounds pretty damn good. I mean goddamn that is one hell of a vocal on this song, sounds like Eddie's pipes from the 90s, really. The music is not doing much for me now, I don't hear GnR or Bon Jovi so much but I definitely understand some of the top 40-ish comparisons. Again only one listen in, perhaps it grows a bit. Not my fave so far but this is certainly not a deal breaker by any means in regard to my hopes for the album in its entirety. Thanks to those who wrote up the lyrics--I think this song is very strong (sad, too) lyrically, and must reiterate Eddie really saves it here. Going to listen again...

I think it's going to be one of their biggest hits yet. It could be a Taylor Swift song or something. It's really good though.verb_to_trust wrote:sarcasm?dimejinky99 wrote:verb_to_trust wrote:So do you think the band is secretly hoping for some cross over smash with Sirens?

It def has the potential to be a big hit with formats that cater to the over-40 crowd.verb_to_trust wrote:sarcasm?dimejinky99 wrote:verb_to_trust wrote:So do you think the band is secretly hoping for some cross over smash with Sirens?

It was a serious question. I haven't heard the song, is it supposed to 'make people like Pearl Jam again' like BOB wants? Its the 2nd single...harmless wrote:You must see that you're just incredibly boring now, right?verb_to_trust wrote:So do you think the band is secretly hoping for some cross over smash with Sirens?

I wasn't being sarcastic either. This type of song, at least in America, when it does well it's on adult format radio. Not on stations aimed at 12-18 or 18-30 or whatever. It's not an insult to the song, it's just a reality.dimejinky99 wrote:McParadigm wrote:It def has the potential to be a big hit with formats that cater to the over-40 crowd.verb_to_trust wrote:sarcasm?dimejinky99 wrote:verb_to_trust wrote:So do you think the band is secretly hoping for some cross over smash with Sirens?

I think it wants to do what they probably thought Just Breathe might. Based on reaction of course. Because I haven't heard it.
