Talk:Sloan (band)

message: What about SubPop?  There should be some mention of SubPop.
This page states Action Pact is their Ninth Album whereas the Action Pact page says it is their ninth album. Not sure which is correct, but this should be fixed.
Sorry the Action Pact page says it is their seventh album.
:Well, not counting Peppermint (which is an EP, not a full album), and the live album, Action Pact is the seventh. Adam Bishop 05:37, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't there be some mention of the "Halifax is the next Seattle" sentiment, which persisted for some years (I believe Spin mentioned it several times) following the decline of Grunge? 66.46.152.30 19:22, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Chris and Jay started Sloan, didn't they? They were both in Kearney Lake Road and if I'm remembering correctly Andrew was the last to join the band.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.234.106.114 (talk) 21:32, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

message: As an editor at Crawdaddy!, and to comply with COI guidelines, I am not posting the link to this new interview feature about Sloan. However, I would like to recommend it on its merits, and hope that an editor will find the time to examine the piece and—if he or she sees fit—post it to the external links section. I appreciate your time. Crawdaddy! Mike harkin (talk) 22:53, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  External Link suggestion: Sloan feature in ''Crawdaddy!'' 

message: The article's intro paragraph ends with "The success and recognition of their albums, (most notably Twice Removed) in rankings has made Sloan one of the best Canadian bands of all time.[2]"
I like Sloan as much as the next guy, but isn't a statement like "best Canadian band" a little bit subjective (word wise)? If it had said something like "most accomplished" or "most popular" that would be fine, but "best band" is a little hard to objectively measure.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.55.112.231 (talk) 01:50, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
