    If we're honest, it doesn't start well, 'Be My Girl' is easily one of the worst tracks on here. But things do pick up.

    Despite the band's relapse into '90s Grunge, Sirens vaunts the odd track that testifies to the band's invetiveness.

    Sirens perhaps works best when it's not totally in thrall to grunge and the band allow themselves to enter unchartered terrain.
