Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring the legendary, impossibly suave hit 'Love Is the Drug', Roxy Music's fifth album effectively transitioned the band from avant-garde glam pioneers to sophisticated pop-rock superstars. 'Siren' is a wonderfully eclectic, fiercely melodic triumph, matching Bryan Ferry's deeply romantic, highly sexual crooning with remarkably quirky, wildly playful, and deceptively progressive art-rock instrumentation.
