Abandoning the intoxicating blend of art rock and glam-pop that distinguished Stranded and Country Life, Roxy Music concentrates on Bryan Ferry's suave, charming crooner persona for the elegantly modern Siren.
As the disco-fied opener "Love Is the Drug" makes clear, Roxy embraces dance and unabashed pop on Siren, weaving them into their sleek, arty sound.
It does come at the expense of their artier inclinations, which is part of what distinguished Roxy, but the end result is captivating.
Lacking the consistently amazing songs of its predecessor, Siren has a thematic consistency that works in its favour, and helps elevate its best songs -- "Sentimental Fool," "Both Ends Burning," "Just Another High" -- as well as the album itself into the realms of a classic
