There are only 4 songs I really want to hear.
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.

Yeah, no worries it doesn't matter now.dimejinky99 wrote: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.

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 went through a very short "WTF has happened to my band?" crisis of confidence, but I got over that pretty fast.Tj wrote:So Sirens has brought us to tears for the right reasons. How many has it brought to tears for the wrong reasons.
