What the heck even is Ole. Where did it come from and why does it exist? Is it like a backspacer reject? Why is Pearl Jam writing a song called OLE.
Solo seemed sort of...aimless.
I love how the Sirens solo sounds like actual sirens. It's GREAT. A highlight of LB
Sirens.

I like Sirens quite a bit, but I've always found the solo disappointing - overly bombastic and devoid of any really heart. MJD's observation about it mimicking a siren goes a long way to redeeming it, and I'm a little embarrassed I hadn't previously made that connection
The solo in Ole is the second best part (the outro is better), and I was going to vote for it. But MJD changed my mind

Ole!! I like when Mike gets sideways.
Sirens is as expected as a solo from Mike could be. Boresville.
