message: "Since this album was released in March of 2003, Relient K released a bonus disc for Christmas, entitled Deck the Halls, Bruise Your Hand. It only contained ten tracks but sold fairly well nonetheless." It says only ten tracks, that's a full length cd isn't it? Maybe I'm misinterpreting it, but I think that should be edited.

replies: text: Standard CD capacity is 74-80 minutes.  The average pop/rock song is 3-5 minutes long, which means for 10 songs they're using 30-50 minutes, leaving 24 to 50 minutes of CD capacity unused.  Perhaps this is what was being referenced... -Ayeroxor 23:05, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Only 10 songs?

message: :In early June 2005, the band was featured on MTV's 10 Spot Drop, which, although very poorly done, gave the band a boost in its popularity.
What was "poorly done"? The TV show itself? Relient K's performance? Sorry, but this is poorly worded. Also, I can't change it to make it more understandable, because I didn't see Relient K on 10 Spot Drop.—thegreentrilby 20:49, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  It was added back today, and I reverted it.  True or not, there are POV problems with the wording. --Idont Havaname (Talk) 00:06, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: What?

message: I've always heard Relient K is from Toronto... but also Canton... anyone know?
:They're from Canton. I've actually never heard that Relient K's from Toronto, but if people are saying that, it's because Thiessen's Canadian.—thegreentrilby 19:43, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I've recently seen "Deck the Halls" in passing and I distinctly remember reading on the back something along the lines of:'All songs performed by Matt Thiessen and the Earthquakes'. So, if that's the case does it even count as a Relient K album? (Cabin Tom 20:31, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, considering that it says "relient K" in big letters across the front cover, I would say it is.  For the Earthquakes, I think that refers to the songs with just Thiessen and his piano. I haven't heard the album, so if its all just piano and stuff, that would explain it.  "The Thief" was also by the Earthquakes (on PureVolume), but it only mentioned RK on the Apathetic EP.  —Akrabbimtalk 15:27, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Ok, thanks. I just remember asking myself who "the Earthquakes" were after seeing the CD case so it stuck in my mind, but that makes sense. Cabin Tom 20:22, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: What do you mean, the knowledge? I put a short description of each video up when I made the list of videos with their links. There are no singles for those first three songs. The video info for the other two are on the articles for the songs and their singles.RoryS89 15:36, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

message: The above is just my well-founded opinion of their name.  Have the band ever made any reference to it and why they refuse to correct it or if it was on purpose? -Ayeroxor 20:48, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It was on purpose, to avoid any copyright issues they may have faced if they had spelled it the same as the Reliant K car.  Whether they would have or not is purely speculation. —Akrabbim 13:14, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd like to believe it.  It makes some sense.  Any citations? -Ayeroxor 19:31, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: They found out that the copyright didn't even apply to their situation, but they decided to leave it misspelled because they thought it would be funny. I like it better with an 'e' anyway. RoryS89 00:43, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

message: First of all, this section could barely even be considered prose.  Second, Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links, images, or media files.  Third, is a complete section even needed for this?  I think it could probably be incorporated easily somewhere else without listing them with their respective links. —Akrabbimtalk 23:54, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think there are some areas where complaining might go too far, and I'm sorry, but I think this is one. What do you suggest we do? Put the names of them into a paragraph? And what are you talking about with the links? There's links to all sorts of sites on this page! And yes, people want to see this. I don't know if you go to the Relient K boards, but I see people all the time who never knew there was a video for My Girlfriend or Pressing On. Also, I've seen at least five other band pages with the videos done in that format. No one else has complained about it, and I think it is helpful to people. I think it should be left alone, whether or not something looks good to one person shouldn't decide whether it should have major changes or be removed completely. I'm sorry if I come across as mean, I don't mean to be, but I don't like how people are always in a rush to remove or change something that's perfectly fine. I created the section after all, I thought maybe I'd get some thanks instead of complaints. RoryS89 17:26, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Maybe what I was trying to say was not that the information is unimportant and unworthy for Wikipedia but that it perhaps was given too much prominence in the article.  The summaries of the videos I think are also extraneous.  How about we make a little table in the discography between the singles and compilations, with the year, song, album, and link?  What do you think? —Akrabbimtalk 15:16, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, that might work. RoryS89 01:24, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Why are we continually changing the song title to "Bit My Tongue"? I've read accounts from many people who saw the song performed by the band, and they have all said it is "Bite My Tongue". Where does it say "Bit"? I'd just like to know.RoryS89 22:52, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

message: First of all, is "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything" a single, or an EP?  It was never released for radio play.  On the flipside, what about "I So Hate Consequences"? Shouldn't that be considered a single, since it released on radio? Or are they both singles, and why am I the first one to notice the lack of "I So Hate Consequences"? —Akrabbimtalk 15:59, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Pirates is a single purely for being released on a CD outside of the Veggie Tales CD, but the only other real singles ares those that were released on CDs and were om Mmhmm. We should probably list any song that was released a Christian market single though. That includes the following: My Girlfriend, Wake Up Call, Softer to Me, Pressing On, Sadie Hawkins Dance, Those Words Are Not Enough, For the Moments I Feel Faint, Chapstick, Forward Motion, I Am Understood, Getting Into You, High of 75, I So Hate Consequences, and The Truth. Other actual singles are of course, Be My Escape and Who I Am. Must Have Done Something Right is the next one, and Jeff Risden (the band's manager) has announced that there will be a Christian radio single released in mid to late November, other than that song. Bite My Tongue or Devastation and Reform would be good, but one song I heard online that I hope is the single is a song called "I Need You". The chorus is amazing, and the verses have my personal favorite technique of Matt and Dave singing back and forth. Just like in I So Hate Consequences, More Than Useless (though that one also includes John), and the like.RoryS89 02:03, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
