message: "The band's self-titled debut album is a concept album about alien abduction. Four UFOs are on the cover of the album, visible in the window to the left of the TV."
I'm curious about where this information came from. In any event it has no place here. If accurate, it belongs on the album page. Deleted.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.167.136.139 (talk) 08:50, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I just wanted to give editors of AFOS-related articles a heads-up about using the abbreviation I just used ("AFOS"). Such abbreviations should be avoided in Wikipedia articles because they are not in line with the kind of encyclopedic tone we should be using here. I haven't gone through all the relevant articles, just this one, so could someone else please help to make these changes? Thanks. - dcljr (talk) 03:24, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
