Gigaton: Official album thread

[stip]

Sirens was a big hit and this is the most Sirens-esque, so maybe that's why.


Or Mike really has some dirt on the rest of them

Good point...Makes sense from a business perspective, I suppose....Guess we know why I'm not a balding, portly, coke-addled, middle-aged record exec (not that you are, either, of course )

It's certainly the one song on the album which I'd say has the most connective tissue to LB

Other than the use of the 12-string, I don't see it. Sirens is a plodding, leaden song, a very different feel from Retrograde's lighter touch in its first half. I mentioned the comparison before, but take out Eddie and you can easily hear that as Green-era R.E.M.

lmao at anyone who thought Quick Escape was a single. Is this forum full of complete and utter morons?

I agree but I wouldn't say to Sirens specifically.

Sirens is written, I think, as a much airy song than what we got on the record. They are both mid temp songs. They both have that 'adult' feel (neither is a particularly scrappy song). They aren't clones, but they are clearly coming from the same songwriter and a similar place.

So then would you say the same of something like Unthought Known?

No - UK is a faster song and it is Ed’s finger picking style
