 Siren, released in 1975 through Island Records in the UK and Atco Records in the US, is the fifth album by English Glam Rock group Roxy Music. Released following the band's American breakthrough with Country Life the previous year, the album sees the band turn down the remaining experimental elements from their earlier work to an even greater degree, offering a more straightforward sound in a bid to further their place among the US market. At the same time, the band's members felt increasingly pressured to offer more evenly-distributed songwriting credits after three albums penned mostly by frontman Brian Ferry, leading to a more collaborative songwriting process that sees Andy Mackay, Phil Manzanera, and Eddie Jobson co-writing around half of the record.The result paid off for the band's commercial prospects, with the album reaching No. 4 in the UK and earning their one and only hit single in the US with leadoff track "Love Is the Drug" (though the album itself only hit No. 50 Stateside). The album would later be certified gold by the BPI. Despite this, inter-band relationships remained tense, exacerbated by their inability to generate a real profit throughout their careers despite having multiple UK hits. Consequently, the band decided to go on hiatus after the supporting tour for Siren wrapped up in 1976, regrouping without Jobson two years later with an even more commercial sound under their belts. In the interim, Ferry would release three solo albums, while Manzanera would rejoin his former bandmate Brian Eno as part of the supergroup 801.Siren was supported by two singles: "Love Is the Drug" and "Both Ends Burning".Tracklist:Side One "Love Is the Drug" (4:11) "End of the Line" (5:14) "Sentimental Fool" (6:14) "Whirlwind" (3:38)Side Two "She Sells" (3:39) "Could It Happen to Me?" (3:36) "Both Ends Burning" (5:16) "Nightingale" (4:11) "Just Another High" (6:31)You're a trope that never fades:
