Siberia is the tenth studio album by Echo & the Bunnymen. It garnered generally positive reviews, with some commentators calling it their best work since Ocean Rain, despite it being their first album not to reach the UK Top 75.

The track "Of a Life" has the line "I want a song to learn and sing", which name-checks the band's 1985 compilation album Songs to Learn and Sing.

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, Siberia received an average score of 66, based on 17 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".

All tracks written by Ian McCulloch and Will Sergeant.
