Talk:The Ocean (band)

message: I propose that the name of the article be changed to "The Ocean (Band)". Although they are sometimes referred to as "The Ocean Collective", Most people know them simply as "The Ocean". Also, in This video, (at around 5:10) Robin Staps states that the official name of the band is "The Ocean".   —Preceding unsigned comment added by H2ostra (talk • contribs) 05:33, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

message: it would be awesome if those panels with the albums' track lists were hidden rather than expanded by default -- does someone know how to do this?

message: It would seem that this page can't decide on a genre. Lead says experimental rock, infobox says differently... footer links to doom metal. Is there a citation somewhere for any of this?  --Kingoomieiii ♣ Talk 14:33, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Around a month ago I edit the article adding Fogdiver in their albums section, because I found an source from their first label (2003) on which they clearly wrote «THE OCEAN's debut album "Fogdiver" is ready to hit the stores on 09.01.2003.» Even the band themselves, through their Pelagic Records website refered to it as an album and not an EP.
So please, don't revert my edit without explanations or false informations like an user who revert my edits writing "instrumental EP". Thanks. --109.118.89.65 (talk) 15:42, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Well technically, Fogdiver IS an instrumental EP; it's much shorter than their later albums and there are no vocals. It's fine if you wanna keep it as a studio album, but if you're thinking of registering your own account and creating a Wikipedia article for the album, please add good reliable sources to go along with it. Thanks....SirZPthundergod9001 (talk) 23:33, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Please, provide a source for "Instrumental EP". The band and their then-label refer to it as the debut album. The new album Holocene is their 10th studio album and we even have sources: 1, 2 and the band themselves on Facebook. --82.134.193.81 (talk) 10:22, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Very simple explanation. A lot of of bands considered some their releases as their "studio albums" but they are a lot of contradictions from various sources. Some do say that Fogdiver is a studio album, some platforms consider it an EP, you can check Spotify or even Apple Music. Some even consider it just an mini-album, which does not make it a studio album. One of the biggest examples for the past few years is Bring Me the Horizon and their commercial release Post Human: Survival Horror. Some sources claim it as an album, some EP. In order to balance we simply call it "commercial release". Fogdiver has the same issue. So for you calling my reverts "vandalism", not justifying you making a big disruptive editing and creating an edit war because of it. To balance it, Fogdiver is simply considered only as a commercial release. So please, stop with your claimings. Tobi999tomas (talk) 15:57, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
