message: :A UK third floor window is the same as a US fourth floor window, so maybe the 'Rock Bottom' entry was written by an American and the 'Robert Wyatt' entry written by a Briton? Halmyre (talk) 16:46, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Why was the Pitchfork review deleted? Just because the rating is considerably lower than the others? It's a well-known publication, and it seems biased to only include favorable reviews. I'd like to add it again unless there is a good reason not to. Cromni (talk) 00:36, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Personally, I have a problem with the Pitchfork reviews of his albums, not necessarily because of the low ratings, but because they seem to want to review them as if they were "indie rock" albums, (or at least some sort of pop-rock subgenre) instead of the more jazz-related albums that they are.  This is especially true of his post-1970s work.  That being said, such a review shouldn't necessarily be deleted, but it's something to think about anyway. 74.130.253.223 (talk) 20:22, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, the inclusion of a negative review should also be reflected in the Reception segment. As of now, it is not and so the entry is not very balanced or organized.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by WestArcherLives (talk • contribs) 08:42, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Yes, it is unsourced, and some is just opinion. But it all sounds quite accurate and some of it could be easily sourced. So just saving a record here and here. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:52, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Music and lyrics  

message: On some pressings the track is called "Alife", on others "Alifie". How do we deal with this? Is there a source that defines one of these as a misprint? Is there a source that declares one of these is the "correct" one? (See this change.) Mark in wiki (talk) 16:28, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: On the initial release, the track is titled "Alifie" on the label (and he sings the title as "Alifie" in the song), but a misprint identifies it as "Alife" on the cover. ASCAP's repertory database confirms that the correct title is "Alifie," and they have no Wyatt-related songs under the title "Alife"- about as close to a definitive source as one can get, or at least one who isn't a registered PRS member can get (unlike ASCAP/BMI, one has to be a registered member to search their database). Some reissues have gone with "Alifie," some with "Alife." For the purposes of this article, I think we want to go with the "more official" name; I've edited the article such that the track is titled "Alifie," with an explanatory footnote about the title confusion.

message: Christgau is an unimportant nobody that just happened to get a regular gig for a few years - where are the Rolling Stone and New Musical Express views of the album? And other important/notable comments? This album had a fairly large amount of press at the time. 2603:6080:21F0:6140:18B3:B154:5009:231 (talk) 13:55, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
