I fucking LOVE three of those. What are the chances I'll like Sirens when I finally listen to it in mid-October?

Pretty high, I'd imagine, but the song still doesn't sound like those.

You'll definitely like it! I was wondering what your thoughts were on it. After all, you are the mixmaster right?

No, this is why they look at you like that.

That's about the best compliment you can give a song. It might have to do with the arrangement, but I think that's part of the reason why I am enjoying this song.

you don't need to go all conspiracy theory on this. We can just say that the people who come to RM have crappier taste in pearl jam than the larger fanbase, but that it is AUTHENTIC crappier taste.

I'll often get turned off when songs feel too long, and I will say that sirens does not feel like a 6 minute song.
