Well if you like. But just there you have:

Vedder: And most bands, the longer they play together, they will become more comfortable. You go from punk-rock songs to contemporary music. It's a trap

It's accomplishment for them to be dated and contemporary at the same time, isn't it?

I... I don't know what you mean by that.

I had in mind the critics of Siren's being an 80's power ballad.

I don't think it's anywhere near a real possibility considering how much "Ed solo" ballads he writes for PJ records but i think doing something in a 100% artistic autonomy would all but hurt him and consequentially Pearl Jam. Just taking BS in consideration JB, SOS and UK could have been much more interesting or at the very least less cheesy if Ed relayed only on his own strengths and not BOB's and the band's as far as SOS is concerned.

Oh, OK. Yeah I don't mind that so much as the few nods to the contemporary radio ballad. I don't know about Nickelback or top 40 country etc. but I do hear Take That / Gary Barlow or Robbie Williams in places. I think the song is great but it probably counts as something Ed would have never done at one point.

But isn't this Mike's song with Ed's lyrics? I don't think you could write Blood type lyrics with this music. I personally love the lyrics and the song. That being said, Future Days is all Ed.

Yeah but FD is just Ed. It's not remarkable but it doesn't sound like a boy band either. Sirens kind of does. As I said, I do like it a lot, I'm just pointing out that it touches on styles that Ed has said he never would, which was meant to be an amusing comment more than a serious one. I'm not sure the only possibilities were schlock love ballad or "Blood" either, not sure where that comes from. We don't really know where Mike's Pink Floyd ideas stop and BoB's radio-friendly rock ballad ideas start, but the song is a slightly jarring mix of both.

For me there are parts that I want to sing along loud to, but it is still missing that cliched hooky chorus. We were listening to 80's radio at work the other day, and Sirens does not remind me of Def Leppard.

I was wondering this, are the vignettes stripped down portions of what the song became? Or the original riffs?

Ed's quote was about the way bands work or better put how band dynamics influence music not about his writing as an individual.

It makes no difference. Ed was speaking about where bands go, not solo artists.

That's my point responding to "but Sirens is Mike's" because it's not relevant in the given context.
