This album, and it's singles mean to me, my senior year of high school. "Personal Jesus" came out as a single right before the year started, and "Enjoy the Silence" was released around Christmas. Then the album came out just less than three months before graduation in March. "Policy of Truth" came out as a single in May, and "World In My Eyes" came out in late summer. Pretty much the soundtrack to that final year in high school. U2's 'Actung Baby' came out just after it, and they both remind me of each other. Both are albums of great singles, and both have amazing album tracks. Pretty much perfect albums. "Halo" was a song that immediately grabbed me when I first heard it. I thought it would be realeased as a single, but it never was officially released as one. Possibly my favorite song from the band, on my favorite album from them. Surprised we hadn't played it before. "And when our worlds they fall apart. When the walls come tumbling in, though we may deserve it, it will be worth it." - Michael - MFL
