As per, there's still a great deal of eclecticism on 'Siren', with odd country-glam outings like 'End Of The Line' and atmospheric, airy numbers like 'Sentimental Fool' sitting comfortably aside funky pop-rock tracks like 'She Sells' and 'Could It Happen To Me', without ever sounding out of place or unwarranted. 'Siren' is simply one of Roxy Music's most cohesive, well realised, surprising, and brilliant albums, with not a single average track, nor a moment were it doesn't thrill or shock with its unexpected, eclectic twists and turns. Highly influential, critically lauded and commercially successful (with Love is the Drug reaching #2 in the UK singles chart, in '75), 'Siren' is an album that deserves its place on 'Rolling Stones' list of the '500 Greatest Albums of All Time'.
