Talk:Into the Electric Castle

Lead section changes

The second paragraph of the lead section (re-written slightly by me) has no reference cited, but the information is indeed verifiable, sourced from the album insert in the Into the Electric Castle special edition re-issue. Tittery (talk) 02:05, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Minor:

In my revisions, the second one I made to the article started with "Track Listing:" but really should have said "Personnel" as that was the section I modified. Tittery (talk) 01:17, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk page cleanup

The discussion points on this page were two unsigned fragmented sentences talking exclusively about the quality of the album, I felt this was inappropriate for the talk page and have thus removed them. I've also cleaned up the project boxes above and provided ratings. Tittery (talk) 03:12, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Disagree on the plot

The plot describes the Barbarian's gate choice as follows:

The Barbarian (Jay van Feggelen), in his arrogance and pride, walks through the golden gate regardless to his companion's choice, and fall into oblivion forever.

I don't agree with this, seeing as this is disputed by the following line in The Two Gates:

cowards whine beyond the olden gate, Valhalla shines beyond the golden gate

The Barbarian knew very well that the wooden gate was the gate to his world, but he didn't want to go there. Meanwhile, the concept of oblivion in barbarian mythology could be seen as synonymous with Valhalla. He knew what gate he chose, and did not do so out of arrogance and pride, but because he wasn't willing to head back to his world. Supertanno (talk) 00:44, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
