Talk:Black Holes and Revelations

message: It has no detail in it, and the other titles below could be easily incorporated into this change - Release Details would go to Details of Single Releases or words to that effect. I would change it but though i'd better check as most of the stuff i seem to do warrants a reversal. Massau (talk) 15:31, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Take a Bow influences 

message: What is it about, at first I thought it was influenced by world war 1 peoms, but I think more that it is a poem to Bush. What do you think, or if Muse have said anything about it what is it about?
:Either to Bush himself, or the american people at large. I helped organize an anti-war rally in february 2003, in the middle of the deep south. Unsurprisingly, it was poorly attended. I think the song is addressed more to those who were and are apathetic. 65.248.164.214 (talk) 19:57, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Deleted track article

message: No, it's not notable. Most albums get leaked prior to release. This one was leaked less than three weeks prior to sale of the first CDs. The date is unverifiable, it can't be linked to and therefore not cited. The Muse management haven't made any public statement which might make this particular leak somehow noteworthy. Please don't bring it up in the article without justifying doing so over here. BigBlueFish 19:17, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Should this article be called "Black Holes & Revelations"? That is what it says on the album cover. The iTunes Music Store says "Black Holes and Revelations" which looks more correct than "And". Any opinions? Mahahahaneapneap 21:43, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think we should take that with a grain of salt until at least the Japanese version comes out on the 28th, when someone gets to confirm up front how it's written. Isn't there a problem for MediaWiki software using ampersands in titles, anyway? --Tene 01:18, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, only on MuseWiki ;). Tom Kirk has spelt it Black Holes And Revelations several times. However, if it is written with an ampersand on the cover, I would assume it flexible and use lowercase "and" per Wikipedia naming conventions. The ampersand is simply an abbreviation of the word "and" anyway, and the catalog registration will use the word "AND". BigBlueFish 16:35, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

message: * Black Holes And Revelations → Black Holes and Revelations … Rationale: WP:NC - it appeared at first as if the band may have been meaning to emphasise the "and", but usage is mixed, with stores such as iTunes listing it with a lowercase, and the album artwork itself using an ampersand.

thread_title: Starlight will be a single?

message: The album notes do contain writing credits, it clearly states on the last page 'Songs by Matthew Bellamy'.  Any 'ambiguity to the origin of the songs' is derived only from the original contributors inability to read and is both misleading and possibly damaging to the bands reputation
Secondly, I don't see any spelling errors in the 'Supermassive Black Hole' lyrics, both my own copy of the album notes and this one here include the word 'alight' spelled perfectly (note that both are from the earliest official release, and therefore are not reprints from a later date featuring corrections), does this 'spelling mistake' even exist? What copy of the album does it feature in?

thread_title:  'Trivia' entries 

message: The suppoedly Martian imagery is incorrect on technical grounds, however, because 
*The sky is blue. Blue sky on Earth results from Rayleigh scattering of light by dust particles in the atmosphere. On Mars, the sky is pink due to dust comprising iron compounds suspended in the atmosphere.  
*The Earth and Moon in the sky are far too large for realism; Mars appears as a small, reddish point in Earth's night sky, and there is no reason to suspect that Earth would appear much larger from Mars.
I propose this be deleted; it's just artwork, it doesn't have to make sense. Plus, it's really irrelevant to the article. amsterdam528 22:31, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Well then, maybe as soon as you add references to the sky being pink (which funnily enough isn't all that accurate anyway, as while the colour of the sky on Mars is difficult to judge it is generally accepted to be tawny in colour, not pink, and would you believe that at sunrise/sunset the sky on Mars contains, yes... blue!) and the Earth not being visible (common knowledge, but what kind of boring artwork would that make?) to the Mars Wiki page, I will consider agreeing that this information is even remotely relevant to the Wiki page of a music album (or even accurate, for that matter... someone needs to do their homework) :) Miranda07 23:02, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps you didn't read who contributed to that section - I have very little knowledge of the Martian surface, I haven't contributed to the section at all, perhaps you should be asking the contributer(s) to add the "tawny" sky bit. --Tene 11:26, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Or perhaps my point was that you and Albrozdude are campaigning to keep information which not only do you fail to notice is incorrect,  but is also far too complicated/debated to explain accurately on an album page while still being relevant to the subject, and is even missing from Mars' own page.  Not to mention that there is plenty of evidence of blue sky on Mars, and we know how Muse love their conspiracy theories :) Miranda07 15:59, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

message: The following line from the critical reaction section seems highly biased:
"However, websites such as Pitchfork Media still insist that the band do nothing more than ape Radiohead's muscial stylings and thus rated it 4.2/10."
While the negative reaction geared towards their similarity to Radiohead is valid information, the sentence's rhetoric needs to be toned down. For the time being, the typo has been corrected. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Faunis (talk • contribs) 05:02, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  GA nominee 

message: This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of April 23, 2007, compares against the  six good article criteria:
:1. Well written?: Needs copyediting: lots of typos, some run-on sentences, etc.
:2. Factually accurate?: It's accurate, as far as I can see, and very well referenced.
:3. Broad in coverage?: Needs some expansion; there are too many single-paragraph headings. Also, there is no information on writing and recording.
:4. Neutral point of view?: Yes, although it could do with a bit more balancing regarding critical reaction: a MetaCritic score of 75 does not sit well with mostly 4-out-of-5 reviews listed.
:5. Article stability? There are still quite a few changes going on from day to day...
:6. Images?: Another free image would be nice, but not necessary.
When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration.  If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to a GA review.  Thank you for your work so far. 
The article is very well-referenced - far better than most albums I've seen - so keep up the good work and it should meet WP:WIAGA. — 3M163//Complete Geek 00:45, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  "and" vs. "&" 

message: My removal of that section was reverted. I wonder if we can come to a consensus about this [if there's even enough people watching this page] since the only thing lamer than an 'in popular culture' section is an edit war over one. It seems to me to be little more than trivia, given that it doesn't provide any interesting or relevant information about the album. Here is the content of the section that I'm talking about:
The song "Knights of Cydonia" from the album is on the setlist for the game Guitar Hero III, with "Supermassive Black Hole" and "Exo-Politics" available for download on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 systems. "Assassin" appears on the setlist for Guitar Hero World Tour. The song "Supermassive Black Hole" was included in the soundtrack to the movie Twilight. The song "Take A Bow" was featured in the second trailer for the upcoming movie Watchmen.

thread_title:  reviews 

message: A recent change to the infobox genre parameter by a genre warrior started me rethinking this album's genre. 
;The current genre version:
*Alternative rock, new prog, progressive metal, space rock, electronic rock
;August 2008 GA version:
*Alternative rock, progressive rock
;December 2008 peer review version:
*Alternative rock, new prog
So it looks like the genre parameter has been bulked out since 2008.
With regard to an album's genre, I think the infobox should tell the reader what the sources say about the overall genre of the album. The genre parameter should be more general than specific. I do not think the album genre should be a collection of genres taken from the various songs. Instead, the sources should say that this album is such-and-such genre. Let's see what genres are discussed in the sources:
*Rolling Stone. No genre mentioned.
*NME: "It’s The Book Of Revelations gone rock".
*Melodic.net, staff reviewer Kaj Roth: "[on the whole album] Muse rocks more than disco away through their songs..."
*The Guardian: "Black Holes and Revelations has the usual industrial dollop of space-metal lunacy..." "[On this album] the band has developed an electro-funk wobble..."
*Entertainment Weekly: "[Muse represents] modern, arena-scale art rock..." "If prog is indeed the new punk, these guys are its Green Day."
*Alt Press: No genre for the album as a whole.
*Allmusic: MacKenzie Wilson's prose review labels the band and the songs with various genres but says nothing about the album's overall genre.
*AV Club: "Black Holes & Revelations contains some more conventional modern-rock songs... and the album has an odd Spanish lilt overall..."
*Drowned In Sound: Plenty of genres discussed for the band and the songs but nothing for the album as a whole.
*The Telegraph: No overall album genre.
*Music Emissions, a questionable review likely posted by a user: No overall album genre.
*MSN Entertainment UK: No genres.
*TNT Travel Down Under: No genres.
*Absolute Punk, non-staff reviewer: "[On this album the band is] adding a few new tricks to their huge arena rock sound." "[On this album the band does] a fine job of incorporating different techniques and genres into their already explosive rock noise." 
*MusicOHM.com by staff writer Talia Soghomonian: "Black Holes and Revelations ...It's even got a funky twist to it..."
So it looks like there is little agreement about the overall genre of the album. Nobody says prog (new or old), nobody says alt rock. Two reviews say funk or funky and one review says space-metal. The most agreement in the sources is seen with the simple "rock" genre. Binksternet (talk) 17:08, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree with the removal of the genres (or trimming to just rock, which is too vague and general). Just because there's little agreement on what the sources say, doesn't mean we should remove it altogether. We should go for the best that's available, which is those two sources cited in the article. So, I restored the genres and sources for progressive rock and space rock. 75.129.101.158 (talk) 08:10, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Black Holes and Revelations's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "UK":
From Origin of Symmetry: 
From Showbiz (album): 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 05:15, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
