Which four, Petern?
Pendulum, My Father's Son, Swallowed Whole, Sleeping By Myself.

There are parts of other songs that I like, but there are more parts in those songs that I don't like that add up to a net loss.
I thought you'd really like Yellow Moon. I still have a lot to learn about you Peter N Clarke.
Yellow Moon is pretty fucking lame.
What do you want out of a Pearl Jam record?

That's a pretty big bandwagon. Just about everyone I meet is like "Pearl Jam peaked in 1990."
So basically what you're saying is that when they rose from the ashes of Mother Love Bone they didn't really rise that much.
Yep. But don't worry, Dime is fighting against that line of thinking. We can sleep soundly. He won't let the Grunge Survivors who have always done things on their own terms be painted into a corner.

Let pearl jam be pearl jam:)

Dime, PJ will be PJ whether we "let them" or not. We don't have to like everything.

Does anyone have a favourite song off this record?

They're all good. I'm having trouble picking just one for the poll.

I honk I'm coming in at the tail end of something Harmless. Not sure what its all about.

Yeah, no worries it doesn't matter now.

I can't pick a favourite song, haven't voted on the poll. I probably won't. If pushed I might say Sirens, but that seems pretty bloody crazy and I'm not sure if I'm ready to take that step yet.

I mean, Sirens is the only song that has reduced me to proper, real life tears, so...

Hey I don't like everything Pj have done. I mean I like everything apart from ST but everyone's got one they don't like right?

I think it might be Sirens too. Is it too early to say?
It's definitely the odd man out on the record I think.

It's the first one in years made me cry too.

Sirens is the front runner by nose agaist Infallible. I keep trying to talk myself out of Sirens so I can be one of the cool kids, but I really love the song.

I also wanted to quote you out of context for the "coming at the tail-end" comment but then I thought that would be cruel.

So Sirens has brought us to tears for the right reasons. How many has it brought to tears for the wrong reasons.

I'm pretty sure I'd have to dislike the album to be one of the cool kids, so I'm not too worried about that.

I went through a very short "WTF has happened to my band?" crisis of confidence, but I got over that pretty fast.

Sirens makes me laugh, and not for the right reasons.

That was my very first reaction to sirens.
'Wtf??? What is this???'

But as we all found out, three or four spins and you're in love.
