Talk:Cryptic Writings

Why?
Why is thrash metal listed. This album is a hard rock/heavy metal album. There isn't enough thrash on it to justify adding it to the infobox. 217.40.128.181 (talk) 22:39, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

The Disintegrators and She-Wolf. Those are major songs from this era that aren't melodic like these others. And there you go again with the whole "heavy metal is hard rock". They're two different things. Very much so. -MetalKommandant (talk) 11:41, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

And yet Wiki Libs adds his opinion with no source... -MetalKommandant (talk) 01:18, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Just to clarify, I've never added anything to this article. I have reverted a single user who has used numerous IP socks to try and remove content. If you review the edit history of the article it is a clear that this content has been added to the article by no less than 15 unrelated editors (both logged-in and anonymous). A check-user for the origins of these different contributors show they originate from the UK, Europe, the US, New Zealand, Australia andsouthern Asia. More than enough weight to verify the validity of the added content. Only 1 single purpose account (and his IP socks) have ever complained and deleted the content because it goes against their own personal opinion. And these types of edits will always be reverted until that editor can provide a reliable source that outweighs the consensus and proves that the content should be removed.

I never added anything either. I was just reverting the information back to what it was before they started this edit war. Also, I really don't know where you're getting this sockpuppeting. Unless I've been hacked, I have never logged into any of these IPs you're accusing of sockpuppeting. "These types of edits." You mean your unsourced majority? Multiple IPs coming by and saying "Megadeth is tr00 hard rock 'cause they sound like it. Kthxbai." and never logging in again? Gee, sounds now that sounds like sockpuppeting to me. And apparently explaining is "b**ching". Well, I think you're just annoyed because I haven't succumbed to your intimidation yet. Like I've said, this place isn't supposed to be a mob. Quantity is not quality, I'm afraid. -MetalKommandant (talk) 01:36, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

FFF is also a thrash metal song and Vortex is something between heavy metal and thrash metal. 88.192.104.142 (talk) 15:58, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Minor Edit
"Even though this album is similar in style to Countdown to Extinction and Youthanasia, it is currently still the last Megadeth album to go platinum."

Is it me, or does this sentence make no sense? This should either be split into two sentences, or one half of it should be deleted. Just wanted to check before I went ahead and did something about it. 24.91.115.238 (talk) 01:57, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

I agree; that makes no sense. I was about to make an almost identical comment. 75.131.252.72 (talk) 22:46, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

can't access the rest of the album discography
WTF

When I try to keep going to get more albums after this one by clicking on the Discography on the side of the page, it always Re-Directs me to the Live Traxx album. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.239.44.204 (talk) 06:37, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Vic Rattlehead on CW
"This is the first and so far only album where Vic Rattlehead does not appear at all in any tangible form,"

This is false, there is an abstract painting of Vic in the original album's CD booklet. However it only appears partially in the remaster. It is not a smudge or whatever the writer of this article thought that it was. It was there for a reason. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.206.124.190 (talk) 22:27, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

New article
I must say that I'm pretty surprised when I found out that She-Wolf doesn't have it's own article. Can someone please make an appropriate page about this wonderful song? And don't tell me that this song wasn't released as a single, because it's the best on this CD, worldwide recognized as a heavy metal masterpiece and played in literally every Megadeth live show.--95.156.10.43 (talk) 19:54, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

2002 remaster
shouldnt there be some mention of how poorly recieved the 2002 remastered/reperformed versions were? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.68.39.24 (talk) 23:18, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
