Wow. I got it to work and had a listen before I pick up my little guy...lots to digest there. The singles/leaks definitely didn't reveal all of this record's secrets...

The Infallible chorus sounds... Incubus-ish.

Well, that was interesting. Look forward to revisiting this when it's out. "My Father's Son", "Pendulum" and "Swallowed Whole" are pretty cool.

I'm halfway through Sirens and I'm blown away so far. Sound quality is so much better than the leaked stuff we had. It'll sound even better on CD.

Jeff's bass is what's standing out most so far

My Father's Son....all I can say is WHAT THE FUCK?! I mean that in a very good way. Totally not what I was expecting.

This album is immediately better than Backspacer.

Pendulum. Ooh

A logical return to form.

where do I go on itunes? and do I need the up to date version?

I refuse to download itunes so I haven't heard it yet, but I'm pissed off that the dog thread is locked.

Best song:
Pendulum that's what I wanted from them since indiffrence

Getaway Sounds great
My Father's Son as if it was sang in the early 90s
Infallible is one the best songs of the album

Likes:
Mind Your Manners
Sirens
Lightening Bolt
Let the Records Play
Yellow Moon

Not Sure About:
Future Days
Swallowed Whole
Sleeping By Myself

Ed's voice is great
Guitars are great
lots of drums
jeff kills it

After one listen, if I had to pick the 3 most intriguing tunes:

MFS
Pendulum
Infallible

Yellow Moon has me feeling a similar vibe to Footsteps. I say this after a hurried listen and without knowing the lyrics.

There was a big PJ banner ad on the front page of the UK version.

found it

these speakers suck but I don't care.

I think this is the most mixed dice bunch of songs they've ever put out. I'm struggling to find an identity. I'm also regretting the fact that I'd heard half of this already, quite possibly the best half when taking into account Future Days (which I dislike) and SBM.

So it's pearl jam throwing a curve ball a la no code and doing something new?

Great

You can just get rid of FD, knowing this album was originally meant to be 11 tracks.

I don't mind FD at all, but wow, two thirds through it becomes too big. And I really don't see the point of *ending* the guitar part, leaving a gap, and then the piano starting... I thought that was stupid at Wrigley. People had started clapping and then BoB...
