Talk:The ArchAndroid

No article for Tightrope?

Why does this album's lead single, which has been out for sometime now, since late February even, not have its own article? If people could take the time to write about the album, surely they could take the time to write about an officially released single from this album? 24.189.90.68 (talk) 08:24, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Title?

I'm wondering if this title is accurate? I don't see any "of IV" on the cover, nor on any mention or review of the album elsewhere. Yes, technically it is II and III of a planned 4-suite project, but I think we should get the title right. I suppose this also goes for the EP (Suite I) released before this. - eo (talk) 16:54, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

How about The ArchAndroid: Suites II and III?, and for the EP, Metropolis: Suite I (The Chase), since the Suite parts for both albums are placed below on the covers, distanced from the main titles Metropolis and ArchAndroid? Sort of like on the covers of Erykah Badu's New Amerykah albums. Dan56 (talk) 17:02, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

I agree the article should be renamed. All the reviews I clicked through from the list of professional reviews refer to it as simply The ArchAndroid, as does this page from the artist's website. That plus WP:TITLE guidelines suggest that this article ought to be moved to The ArchAndroid. Thanks. 67.101.5.131 (talk) 08:52, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Suggested changes

• fully exapand references to include work and publisher as well as authors.
• try to expand record/production. --Lil-unique1 (talk) 01:13, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Come Alive

This line from the Content section, "The track 'Come Alive (War of the Roses)' has been described as having rock and punk themes", is unsourced and dubious. Listening to the track, it is unmistakably swing, rather than either rock or punk. -Domokato (talk) 01:49, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Genre

Since the infobox should reflect its article, the genre(s) that are included would be better off included based on several sources that have something consistent with each other; if most critics dub it "pop" or "funk", for example, those should be included. But not an Allmusic reference that has the label "indie rock" for categorical purposes to serve its own database. Since no reference mention "indie rock", in prose atleast, critic or otherwise, it should probably be left out. I've encountered a similar issue with genre change, and have gotten helpful advice on such a matter at the WP:Albums talk page. Dan56 (talk) 21:16, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
