message: Does anyone know if Serj is using the second album art he revealed? Because on soadfans it shows the first one, but i'm pretty sure he's using the second. 74.124.28.243 16:17, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Whoever said it was a cover. you have no proof, so thereofre, i have removed it. Dissectional 02:26, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not a cover, but the song is named after an old song called "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition"- -[The Spooky One] | [t c r]
I think is necissary to either create another Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition page, or keep it without the link to the 1942 song.  The song by Serj Tankian has nothing to do with it but a simmilar title and chorus.  It is also far from being a cover, too.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.194.224.134 (talk) 22:58, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

text: Again, it's not a cover. but the song will remained linked to that page, because that's where the title was created from, and it's not a single, so it's not notable enough for it's own page. - -[The Spooky One] | [t c r] 05:30, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Praise the Lord song 

message: The title "Elect the Dead" sounds like it's a reference to Lewis Black's "It's time for a Dead President" routine. Serj has referenced other peoples work like Howard Zinn's "You can't afford to be neutral on a moving train" on the song deer dance.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by ProductofSociety (talk • contribs) 15:59, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anybody know what the next couple of singles are going to be? I know the "Saving Us" video is out, but does that mean it's the next single? FallenWings47 07:39, 06 August 2007 (UTC)

message: *Being "Saving Us" has been released, video and all. Do you think we should (re)create the page? FallenWings47 12:24, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Saving Us and Feed Us

message: Couldn't this album's genre also be considered alternative metal? Many of the songs contain the heavy guitar riffs similar to System of a Down's. --FlyingPenguins 23:14, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Genre? 

message: On the release dates there is a flag of England, but not the UK, is this intentional?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.67.149.65 (talk) 10:41, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  England? 

message: The music video section now includes availability. It says only The Unthinking Majority, Empty Walls, Saving Us, Feed Us and Lie Lie Lie are available. But (sorry if this spoils anything for anyone) if you bought the deluxe edition, one of the features of the password is being able to see videos (which include Empty Walls, The Unthinking Majority, The Ultimate Serj Interview, Saving Us, Feed Us, Honking Antelope, Elect the Dead, Baby and Sky is Over respectively). It also shows when they were posted, which for Honking Antelope-Sky is Over are all between Oct. 15-17, so technically they were released before Lie Lie Lie if not the same day.

replies: text: How bout videos in Web? Can I find Sky is over, Baby, Honking Antelope etc. now, or they are not here yet? 83.28.72.229 14:16, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Music videos

message: It seems like there might be some dispute over whether the song should be titled "Beethoven's Cunt" or "Beethoven's C***".  In this edit an  unregistered user blanked out the obscenity.  Two subsequent attempts to undo that (here and here) were both automatically reverted by ClueBot.  I've made my own attempt, we'll see if it sticks.  I have to say I'm not 100% sure what the title really is (almost, but not quite).  If it turns out the censored title is really the "correct" one, well, I'm sorry.  Here're my thoughts and research results on the matter:
* A lot of web sites have it censored (as C*** or something else)
* A lot of web sites don't.
* It's seems likely that the sites that have it as "C***" are censoring themselves.
* Wikipedia is not censored; see WP:CENSOR.  So if the obscenity is really part of the song title, it belongs in the article.
* A source that used to be cited in the article  (but has since been removed; recently) has it uncensored.

replies: text: Yes, WP is not censored, but in this case, it needs to be Beethoven's C---    that is what appears on the back of the CD itself and when you buy it on itunes that's what it's named as. - -[The Spooky One] | [t c r] 18:56, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't own the album, so I have to say - what does it say in the album sleeve? Take a look at Nymphetamine - on this article, there is a song called "Gilded Cunt". On the cover, it is censored, but in the album sleeve, it clearly calls the song "Gilded Cunt", so I think it's worth looking in the booklet. ≈ The Haunted Angel 18:27, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I believe Primus guitarist Larry LaLonde performs on this album, though I could be mistaken. I don't see his name mentioned as one of the contributing musicians.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.21.224.137 (talk) 22:00, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If he does, it's not credited on the album. Serj did the bass, guitar, piano, and most instrumentation on the album, the article states that some other people helped on varius tracks. but the name Lary LaLonde never comes up..- -[The Spooky One] | [t c r] 19:05, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Larry LaLonde?

message: I think there should be something about the pictures and things on the inside artwork of the album, like the little story that has each song name or the repeated appearance of the "All Seeing Eye"(which is in the Feed Us music video, if I am correct.)

message: I'm removing the infobox statement that Rolling Stone reviewed the album again in 2010. The website does make it seem like it's a second review for Elect the Dead, but if you read the body text of the 2010 review it's actually review for Elect the Dead Symphony. If you REALLY need me to prove it I could scan the page on the magazine or something, but its pretty obvious from the text of the reivew. FinalWish (talk) 04:35, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
