    Reception

    Critical

    Sirens has been given a Metacritic score of 48, indicating mixed or average reviews. Jon Dolan of Rolling Stone wrote that the album "stirs up the same hey-whatever mix of reggae, hip-hop and punk that made Sublime shirtless charmers 20 years ago", and David Jeffries of AllMusic judged this album "a step up" from their debut album Yours Truly. Garrett Kamps of Billboard magazine on the other hand thought that while "the tunes are competently rendered, but that actually makes them worse: That these guys are selling out shows as what amounts to a cover band is the kind of thing you need to be super-baked to wrap your head around."

    Commercial

    Sirens (Ultradrug – Thee Sequel)

    Sirens (Ultradrug – Thee Sequel) is a remix album by Psychic TV. Sugar J remixes Godstar '94 (as Stargods) and Burned Out, But Building (as Skreemer), Andrew Weatherall remixes the track United '94 (as Re-United), and Psychic TV as DJ Doktor Megatrip remixes Love - War - Riot (as Sirens). The track Sirens is identical as the Love - War - Riot (Vocoder Mix) from the compilation "Origin Of The Species" Volume Too!, where it is correctly credited. The title references the earlier Psychic TV album Ultradrug.

    Liner notes

    "Thee SIRENS do not sing for me. They scream abuse, they signal rape. Their call is not to love, nor embrace, but a call to arms to destroy a race of those who can still think. A loud and burning issue bursts forth from flaming hole. Sighss and suckles, each moment power, and every cell a soul. An end to mark the start of TIME is only close in mind. Touch everything you can with dreams, and end thee SIRENS crime." (Old TOPI poem)

    CHOICES

    by: Sirens

    we’re burning
    destroying
    our lives have become
    tortured
    and bothered by whats been going on
    reaching and grabbing for dreams of returning
    to have our dreams interupted by alarms
    this is the end
    we’ve gone away
    we’re falling back to earth
    return to earth
    return to earth
    and we’re running in circles again
    we’re running in circles
    and we’re running in circles again
    thinking big but doing so small
    if this is the way that we’re living
    then why should we live at all?
    my life is mine
    i’m working towards not ever having to work
    my life is mine
    my life is mine
    waking up to feel the pressure
    this is what i’ve never wanted
    close your eyes and sleep it all off
    I’ve given up my dreams
    for this so called life
    which I’ll never be happy living in
    this so called life
    which I’ll never be happy living in
    I’ll carry on
    put on my tie and fake up my smile
    I’ll carry on
    so watch me fake it
    I’d like for nothing more
    then to live a day of peace
    with no care in sight
    just this life of mine
    I’d like for nothing more
    then to spit in your fucking face
    with no care in mind
    this is not a dream
    this is not a dream
    this is not a dream
    this is cruel reality it’s everything it seems.
    I’ve been a sinking ship
    I’ve been a fucking wreck
    Lie to me, tell me I matter
    through the clouds we’ve crashed on down
