I've removed the soft rock genre tag, suspicion of vandalism, I am uncomfortable adding new genre tags myself (one man's soft rock is another man's dance music apparently), however i believe it should be done by some more one comfortable with these sorts of methods of categorizing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Omgthatissonotrelevant (talk • contribs) 02:29, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. And I think assigning this album to New Wave and Synthpop is also bad. I just think, instead of Indie Rock, you should allocate this as a Indie Pop aka Alternative Pop Album. IT'S right there, in "Critical Reaction": some critics really named it this genre.

Critical Reception

1. It looks and sounds like it's been written by fanboys. 2. 7/31 reviews on Metacritic are below 8/10. This percentage should be represented in the section.

Now I like these guys as much as the next person but I'm also a firm believer in NPOV. For example, Bloc Party's Silent Alarm got over 82/100 on Metacritic but the article shows a clear NPOV and both sides of the coin. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.234.217.155 (talk) 22:17, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, really. I love this band and this album but there's bound to be a negative review somewhere. If so, anyone feel free to add it to the page.

...If there isn't any notable negative reviews, maybe the album is just that good? Heh -- just a thought. 24.137.93.248 (talk) 22:28, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There must be one or two negative review as per the Bell curve distribution. Check the metacritic page for the album (it's in the ref list) and pick one. I'm sure one would do. 129.234.217.155 (talk) 16:22, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There are no overtly negative reviews on metacritic, 40 being the lowest score, under their standards that is a mixed review, this dispute is kinda pointless. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Quazy qual (talk • contribs) 16:11, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, this dispute is pointless. Why did you take the time to go on metacritic and read all the reviews for this album in particular, then get on wikipedia and start shit? Get a damn life. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.69.137.40 (talk) 10:32, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's about time this dispute ended - do you think we can remove the neutrality banner now? Thelostlibertine (talk) 15:10, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have amended the "Critical reception" section. I have added a couple of reviews that were more "mixed" with quotes and sources. This ends the dispute in my opinion. I have removed the dispute tag, please discuss if you have any further queries. (LostLikeTearsInRain) 03:49, 15 July 2009 (GMT)

Personnel

Does anyone have access to the album leaflet or know some other possible source for information about the recording personnel? If you do, then please add the list the article. It seems to be the only issue keeping the article away from being promoted to the C-class quality status by WP:WikiProject Albums/Assessment#Quality_scale. —Quibik (talk) 20:34, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
