The first two LP's were without doubt more innotive, and Stranded, Country Life "harder," but for me Siren contains everything, from traditional Roxy - -"Both Ends Burning", "Sentimental Fool" to 70's dance music of "Love is the Drug". The hard rock sound of "Whirlwind" to the beauty of "End of the Line" I could write a essay on "Just Another High" itself (don't worry, i won't) When Manzanera was on John Peel's radio show previewing the album he said that the latter song was very personal to Bryan, but I never did find out why. I'd be interested to hear other peoples views on the album, negative or positive "I shouldn't care , now should I?"

"Siren" is a very intense and unusual album that contains a certain mood that I still love to hear today. The unusual sound, that lingers through the whole album, still impresses me today. "Sentimental fool" and "The end of the line" are very specific concerning lyrical standards, both songs would have fitted well into the ATGB-tour!

It really surprises me how much this seems to be disliked - it's easily one of my all-time favourite songs. I've always admired the piano and strings work on this but the jewel in the crown is some of TGPT's very best playing, which nails forever any notion of him being some sort of tub-thumping Bonham clone - he's always been far more subtle and inventive than that.

Once this is agreed upon and worked out with Maria, I'll post instructions for the NTSC people.
