message: I may be wrong, but it does seem that this article is slightly biased towards giving an overly stated view on the sucess of Sam Roberts.  What does everyone else think?

replies: text: I think so. The article seems to have a pretty positive spin but not to the extent of presenting information that is blatantly false. Some statements like "his first single "Brother Down" became one of the biggest Canadian hits of the year" seem to be exaggerating slightly. As far as I know "Where Have All the Good People Gone?" was his first big Canadian "hit" and it was far from the biggest of the year. Sam Roberts does not appear to be considered a major act in the prairies. It seems believable that he might be bigger in Quebec. I'm not sure if it is truly NPOV or not - quoting quantifiable data such as album sales or weeks of radio play would probrably be more appropriate than a subjective measure of how "big" Sam Roberts is. 216.36.186.2 (talk) 19:20, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure that this the following excerpt is particularly accurate or conforms to NPOV. Seems a bit like vandalism to me, tbh.
All band mates find it wise to look like Sam. Sam and his good looks have become a curse to all band mates and fans across the globe.
