those lines. Because it's something he rarely does it really draws attention but without it that section would start feeling repetitive.
I always cringe when singers reach too far beyond their range and strain I guess, it's not just Ed. I hate when Patterson Hood tries to sing falsetto too.
Yeah it's not technically great - however, he's in far better form on this record than Backspacer and without the annoying flourishes.

I was just humming Sirens in my head, and it kind of naturally morphed into "Love Song" by Tesla. This wasn't upsetting in the least.

I think that's one of my favourite bits on this song. It doesn't need to be technically perfect, imo.

The little falsetto reach is the best of Sirens. However, I'm skeptical he can pull that off live every night.

This falsetto is absolutely insignificant to some of Ed's worst vocal moments. Not even comparable. He does it fine.

It's the best he has ever sung a song.

I'm not all about technically proficiency either, there's a big difference between raw and strained vocals imo.
Different strokes for different folks

Yup.
I'm pretty sure autotune is involved somewhere, though. In the wavering 'Iiiii' at the start, for example. But meh, they'd have used it on Ten if it had been available (or, if it was, good enough quality).

As far as I remember, they do not come in a combo.
It's Getaway into MYM into MFS

IDK, I think Nothingman and a couple others might trump from a vocal standpoint, but agree this is up there.

I meant all on one album. Strongest 3 songs on an album, best since Grievance, Insignificance, Sleight of Hand.

Your use of 'combo' was misleading
