}}The Origin is the eponymous debut album by the band The Origin, released in 1990. The single, "Growing Old", charted at number 19 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks.[1] Release and reception The Origin was released on LP, CD and cassette on April 12, 1990 with 10 tracks featuring melodic alternative rock. Upon release, The Origin did not chart on the Billboard 200, but the singles were well received and played regularly on college and alternative radio at the time. Three of the album's tracks were released as singles, with one charting on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks.[1]Allmusic gave the album an editor rating of 2.5 out of 5 stars, with Stanton Swihart stating... "For a debut, The Origin is certainly solid. Many of the songs are vigorous and rosy, and the band knew its way around a groove, particularly sprightly piano-led ones -- "Growing Old," "Everyone Needs Love"—that show a passing familiarity with Elton John but are much jauntier... Promising in the way of chops, The Origin nevertheless still had some growing to do before their next album."Track listingAll songs written by The Origin.[2] {{Track listing
