Reference ideas for Major/Minor

The following references may be useful when improving this article in the future:

Alternative Press authors

Yesterday the Alternative Press website was down for maintenance, and when it went back up, all of the authors were removed from the posts for some reason—likely a technical difficultly. This is just a friendly reminder to myself to check the websites again in a few days and add the authors to the references. Fezmar9 (talk) 18:36, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not done well, enough time has passed that AltPress should have fixed this issue. I'm guessing the website went a week without publishing the author's names for whatever reason... Fezmar9 (talk) 18:10, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative Press review

Apparently there's a scan of Alternative Press' review for Major/Minor floating around the web. This image should not be used in this article, and actually images should never as sources on Wikipedia in general as they're highly susceptible to linkrot. Offline sources, such as this review, must be accompanied by a citation with enough information that one could plausibly find the material. The image does not include what date, issue, and volume this review is from. If someone with this issue could provide a full {{cite journal}} reference, then this review would make an acceptable addition to this article. Until then, please refrain from adding this review with the .jpg image as support. Thank you. Fezmar9 (talk) 18:10, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved

With an exception of the volume number being incorrect, however this is less important than the issue number which has been added. Fezmar9 (talk) 22:38, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Teranishi and keyboards

An anonymous IP has been continuously adding "keyboards" to Teppei Teranishi's role on Major/Minor without a source. I'm holding the album in my hands right now. The credits don't attribute instruments to any of the members. The liner notes do suggest a Rhodes piano is played on "Listen Through Me," however they also don't directly support that it's Teranishi who plays it on the album. In fact, the liner notes actually suggest Eddie Breckenridge might be the one playing the piano. Until someone can provide a source that directly supports which member performs keys on this track, it should not be added to the article. Fezmar9 (talk) 19:10, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In their performance of Blur on The Daily Habit you can clearly see him playing keys about halfway through. Reliable source? Probably not, but just sayin'. GeneralAtrocity (talk) 19:26, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's entirely possible that Kensrue wrote and recorded the piano parts, but Terashini played them live. If I'm not mistaken, all members of Thrice actually know how to play the piano. A good portion of the keys on Vheissu were actually performed by Eddie Breckenridge. When Thrice toured in support of The Alchemy Index Vols. III & IV, Kensrue would come on stage and perform "The Lion and the Wolf" solo. Does that mean he's the one playing keys on the album version? Not necessarily. We shouldn't be guessing who plays keys on the Major/Minor recordings based on circumstantial evidence. We should be trying to back it up with a reliable source.

Genre

We need to clear up the genre on this. Someone put "Grunge" as one of the genres for this album. The problems here are that the album has no signs of that type of sound and rely highly on a post-hardcore/emo and post-rock sound. I'm gonna go ahead and change it, so correct me if I'm wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Coolbutlame (talk • contribs) 02:32, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Genres are typically entirely subjective; everyone will hear something different. To remove any bias coming from editors on Wikipedia, artist and album genres should always stem from music critics—whether we agree with these claims or not. A lot of critics are referring to Major/Minor as a straight up rock album, with AbsolutePunk even stating: "They may have shed their recent penchant for the experimental but they have delivered a masterful rock album." So, I'm going to remove experimental rock from the infobox. Fezmar9 (talk) 17:50, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've not seen any critics call it post-rock. Seems dubious to include it in the infobox with nothing to back it up. GeneralAtrocity (talk) 14:16, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that no critics seem to note post-rock, so you can remove that for now if you wish. However, Thrice cites the post-rock bands Mogwai and Talk Talk as having an influence on Major/Minor in the liner notes. I personally do hear a strong post-rock influence. I'd like to see this on the article if and when it does get noticed by critics. Fezmar9 (talk) 16:51, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, i removed post-rock, but someone put the Grunge tag back up... once again deleting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Coolbutlame (talk • contribs) 02:09, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
