Sirens (Sublime with Rome album)
Sirens is the second album by rock group Sublime with Rome, which was released on July 17, 2015. It is the first album to include notable drummer Josh Freese following Bud Gaugh's departure in 2011.
"Wherever You Go" was released as the album's first single, reaching No. 17 on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart.
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."

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)
Track listing and credits
Panacea
In Greek mythology, Panacea (Greek Πανάκεια, Panakeia) was a goddess of Universal remedy. She was the daughter of Asclepius and Epione. Panacea and her four sisters each performed a facet of Apollo's art: Panacea (the goddess of Universal health), Hygieia ("Hygiene" the goddess/personification of health, cleanliness, and sanitation ), Iaso (the goddess of recuperation from illness), Aceso (the goddess of the healing process), and Aglæa/Ægle (the goddess of beauty, splendor, glory, magnificence, and adornment).
Panacea also had four brothers—Podaleirus, one of the two kings of Tricca, who had a flair for diagnostics, and Machaon, the other king of Tricca, who was a master surgeon (these two took part in the Trojan War until Machaon was killed by Penthesilea, queen of the Amazons); Telesphoros, who devoted his life to serving Asclepius; and Aratus, her half-brother, who was a Greek hero and the patron/liberator of Sicyon.
Panacea was said to have a poultice or potion with which she healed the sick. This brought about the concept of the panacea in medicine, a substance meant to cure all diseases. The term is also used figuratively as something intended to completely solve a large, multi-faceted problem.

Panacea (medicine)
The panacea /pænəˈsiːə/, named after the Greek goddess of universal remedy Panakeia, Panacea, also known as panchrest, was supposed to be a remedy that would cure all diseases and prolong life indefinitely. It was sought by the alchemists as a connection to the elixir of life and the philosopher's stone, a mythical substance which would enable the transmutation of common metals into gold.
The Cahuilla Indian people of the Colorado Desert region of California, according to legend, used the red sap of the elephant tree (or Bursera microphylla) as a panacea medicine.
A panacea (or panaceum) is also a literary term to represent any solution to solve all problems related to a particular issue.
The Latin genus name of ginseng is Panax, (or "panacea") reflecting Linnean understanding that ginseng was widely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine as a cure-all.
Historical examples
The Universal Antidote is a mixture that contains activated charcoal, magnesium oxide, and tannic acid. All three components neutralize the actions of many poisons. It is prepared by mixing "of two parts activated charcoal, one part tannic acid, and one part magnesium oxide intended to be administered to patients who consumed poison. The mixture is ineffective and no longer used; activated charcoal is useful." It is now believed that activated charcoal and water is just as effective.
