message: I have to dispute the claim that "AWAKE" has more lush arrangements then "SMILE". As a musician and music fan, this simply isn't true. Neither is really more 'lush' or 'advanced' then the other. If you want to split hairs, every song on "SMILE" features multi-layered insturments, be it keyboards, xylophones, synths, etc.-- The same can't be said for some of the "AWAKE" tracks, which is largely driven by producer tricks and standard crunch riffs on "AS ONE" and "Killing Me". I believe the following sentence should be omitted as such, as it is largely an amatuer, fan driven opinion rather then actual, refuteable fact:
"This album contrasts heavily with Smile, presenting songs with very lush arrangements rather than the straightforward rock sound present in Smile."

message: I'm changing the hyphens to ~. Enough said and disputed for all. That is final, if anyone is going to insist and change it back to hyphens, you are just wasting your time. I will continue changing it to ~, as it is suppose to be.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:AWAKE.jpg

message: As a non-japanese speaker I was checking the discography of the band and when I got to this album I got redirected to band's main page. I understand that it was deleted due to something called WP:NALBUM. The criteria for NON deleting seem to include 1) the album being in any country's charts and the japanese version of the page shows that the album topped several japanese charts 2) winning certified gold or higher in any country and this one got platinum 3) appearing in non-self made publications including newspaper and the japanese version cites many of these. Why was this deleted then? 37.163.54.194 (talk) 14:57, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
