That's right, the album Origin of Symmetry has it's 15th birthday on the 17th of July. I will be linking ever song from the album in this thread over the next few days.

It is a fantastic album. I honestly can't remember a single bad song from it. It's got a handful of misfires, sure, but nothing I ever actively skip. Even Screenager and Dark Shines, they took me a while to appreciate, but they're definitely catchy, if not interesting pieces (Screenager's anti-emo sentiment is a retrospective breath of fresh air after years of '-blam!- the government/banks/other authority'*). *I'd like to point out that I'm not an authoritarian (not politically, and certainly not personally), but having the same themes and tone through album after album is the very definition of cliche.
