I wish I could get behind Native Son, it's better than Vertigo at least but Bono singing those lyrics makes me cringe outta my skull lmao



Crumbs is so good, carries the back half of the original album single handedly

don't mind that at all apart from Happiness (I don't even remember what Original sounds like lol)



I guess I'm one of the few Pictures truthers here, I love that dirty guitar tone and I think the Xanax and wine hook is so much stronger. "I know these fast cars will do me no good" is such a nothing line to hang a song on

aw i really vibe with origin! feels like an experiment that actually worked out for them (but might also be due to its context within this album)

vertigo has aged absolutely horribly. certified banger when i was 8 and spoke neither english nor spanish nor french tho
