Released before Roxy Music became a de facto Bryan Ferry project, but after their Brian Eno-influenced art-rock stage, Siren is a snapshot of a band in flux, and loving it. There’s little of the boundary-pushing primitivism that marked their self-titled debut. Still, Ferry’s youthful edge and the band’s rough-hewn melodicism will shock those expecting to hear the adult-contemporary silkiness found on 1982’s massive-selling Avalon. Both camps should nevertheless admire this r… More >>

I ordered a number of different C.D.s that were shipped to me from multiple sources. All other shipments were good, but this one arrived in a large box with one piece of “bubble-packing” and the C.D. just bounced all over inside the shipping box. The plastic case was cracked all across face upon arrival. Very poor packaging job.

Siren was one of the best albums from lady Diana’s favourite band and is hugely recommended to all fans of good classic rock music.

Yes this was the last of the early(before the split)Roxy but wasnt the best. This was on the way down when there early Ideas were almost gone. If you want the real real deal get For Your Pleasure,Stranded or Country Life(my favorite).For me Stranded was probably the most polished of the early Roxy inventive style/ideas that started to get lost on Country Life and was lost on Siren.No group has matched music like The Bogus Man,In Every Dreamhome a Heartache, Song For Europe and Prarie Rose for being completely different,heavy and melodic. Strange but great tracks.I think when Siren came along they were all spent on there early inventivness and needed a break. They later hit the spot with Avalon but this was a more comercial Roxy but never the less Briliant.But Terrence keep old Cranky and his best friend Sanjay out of here. I watch everyday for the update on Duran Duran and Britney,Led Zep and the Who fight with great anticipation and enjoyment, but dont bring the fight in here.

Every track is good, and reminds me of Genesis/Supertramp/ELO from the same year. Never got tired of this one – after 28 years – wow!
