Talk:Coda (Led Zeppelin album)

message: I don't remember wiki being a place to review albums, do you? --Keith, evil dude 21:37, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: No, not at all, and I agree with what you're driving at. For a place that puts so much emphasis on citations, references, and avoiding POV, it seems like they can throw reviews in under "Reception" and get away with it, so what can you do? If I wanted to read what the critics thought, I could just as easily Google it myself. Cheers! FiggazWithAttitude (talk) 16:19, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Article needs a lot of rewriting 

message: I can see this has already been discussed, but overall should this really be considered a studio album? Sure somepeople call it a studio album, but really? These were not recorded in the same session but rather spread over 1970-1978 sessions. It's like saying a 'Lost tracks' album is a studio album. Admitelly, Lost Songs 95-98 by David Gray IS a studio album, as all of the tracks were recorded in the same sessions. But should this really be considered a studio album? really? Is a B-Sides album a studio album?--77.99.231.37 (talk) 18:08, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, last time i checked the article for Michael Jacksons' album Michael which is also a bunch of outtakes from various album sessions is called a compilation, and the same applies to his other album Farewell My Summer Love. So, logically, shouldn't Coda be consdiered the same?--92.237.88.53 (talk) 22:08, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It would be logical but perhaps they've got it wrong. Jimp 10:49, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

text: Firstly, Wikipedia articles should rely on independent/third-party sources, not parties associated with the subject of the article. Second, a compilation album is defined as a music release comprising songs not originally intended to be viewed as a singular work. McDonald, Heather (April 30, 2018).

thread_title: but is it really a studio album?

message: Did Jack Royerton really mix this album? The statement about Royerton was added by an anonymous IP (possibly Royerton himself) who has a history of tagging articles with unsourced claims relating to him (see this thread at COIN for more info). Might be wise to check the original album (I would, but I don't own it) to see if Royerton is actually mentioned in it or if the claim that he mixed the album is a hoax.

replies: text: He did not mix this album. His name does not show up on the official credits.  FistfulOfMetal (talk) 09:16, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jack Royerton? 

message: In the track listing, I think the note that "I Can't Quit You Baby" is an Otis Rush cover (meaning, I gather, a performance of the song written by Willie Dixon using the arrangement that Otis Rush used in his 1966 recording) should be removed from its present position and added as a footnote by Dixon's name under the Writer(s) column. I'd make this change myself but I don't know how to make a footnote. --Dyspeptic skeptic (talk) 12:01, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  ''Otis Rush cover'' should be a footnote 

message: This has been discussed here a great deal, but this should correctly be listed as Zeppelin's final studio record. The band owed one more studio album to Atlantic, and this was released. It's not just a compilation of unused tracks, as some overdubs where done to the material. If just being leftover tracks means it doesn't qualify as a studio album, then Tattoo You by The Rolling Stones is in the same boat. Why is this so hard to accept? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:a000:cb03:8d00:996b:2879:2f15:79ac (talk)

thread_title:  Yes this is a STUDIO album.
