The only thing I know about Robbie Williams is Liam Gallagher thinks he's a tosser or some insult equally British.

Who else do you hate? We can probably figure out what the remaining songs sound like.

Not Pearl Jam, apparently. :? But you hate Robbie Williams, and Bon Jovi, and Celine Dion, and... and... right? So I'm not sure why you even asked this.

I was kidding. I was thinking of you (I think) saying LB sounds a bit whovian but still loving it.

I think pearl jams goal for this album was "take bands harmless hates and distill them into songs he will love, and make stupidmop confused and sad on the way."

"Sirens" video version is so much prettier than album version. A lot feelsier. Still sounds a bit like Hoobastank, but hey.
