Talk:The Battle of Los Angeles (album)

message: I think with more info, the article on Sleep Now in the Fire could be its own article. As it stands, it could be moved to the album page but if its to have its own page it needs more info. Such as the video clip for it and how Wall Street had to be shut down because of the filming of the video clip and other information like that. If it gets more info then it can stand on its own, if not, move it back to the album page. Gohst 01:42, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Why shouldnt I be able to re-add this as one of the genres of this album? Ive tried to re-add it a few times but just keeps getting reverted. Even though they clearly have elements of Funk metal in all albums and is considered one of RATM's primary genres.86.144.220.93 (talk) 21:15, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

message: 1992 Los Angeles riots links to this album, citing the riots as the subject/inspiration of the title.  If this is true, some information about the connection should be added to the article. Pimlottc 15:48, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Theme? 

message: ::"The album cover seems to be modeled after the monument of Kurt Eisner, the socialist who led the German revolution, in Munich, where he was assassinated. It is also possible that, given the album's title, the cover art is taken from a video shot during the 1992 Los Angeles Riots in which a man raises his right arm in triumph after setting ablaze a vehicle."
Is any of this cited at all? Isn't it more obvious to point out that it's almost exactly the same as the silhouette of Morello raising his fist in the video for "Bulls on Parade"? --Switch 08:43, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Dead external links to Allmusic website – January 2011 

message: This edit changed the genre in the lede (lead paragraph) from rap metal to rock. I reverted because: 1) The genres listed in the infobox are rap metal and funk metal and I believe we should be consistent; and 2) most music critics and fans would describe this album (and the band) as rap metal rather than rock (see the citations in the article). 
But I am just one editor, so let's discuss and see if we can reach a consensus. Thanks!   - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) 22:48, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
