The Joshua Tree
U2
“Harris, what’s your favorite U2 record?”
“Pinkerton by Weezer”
I’m not U2 fan, but I guess this is alright. Turns out I’ve heard a good chunk of these songs before, which shouldn’t be too surprising given how big this album was. After the first listen, “In God’s Country” is probably the standout.

I like how menacing the first half of this thing is. The rest is considerably more upbeat. One Very Important seems especially prescient today.
All in all, this seems like itd be good for studying and/or committing petty crimes -The whole breadth of the human experience.

A mixed bag. Some of it is fun, some of it sounds like someone is trying to sell me a car.
