Talk:Haunting the Chapel

GA on hold: Haunting the Chapel
Well, here we go. I have rated this article as 'On Hold' - there are no major problems and I feel with a few (minor) improvements it could be made a GA.
 * The lead is long enough, but does not tell me why the album is notable within the genre and indeed the industry. Use a similar style to the description of notability to the band.
 * Does the album need to be notable?, it also says and is considered the first demonstration of the band's "classic" style displayed on later albums and a "stepping stone".


 * More sources (especially print sources) would be useful for clarification. Perhaps music magazines, written biographies or even the album sleeve could be useful as references.
 * Ref 1 is an excerpt from a magazine, but what's the point when it's on the web and web sources are fine


 * Further information about themes or ideas in the album and how these relate to the band are common in other high-quality album articles.
 * This is an EP with 4 songs not much if anything is mentioned about lyrical themes, although i can add a sentence about anti-religious lyrics.
 * I agree that it does not have much need for information of this kind. However, I have never listened to the record and the current version does not provide much information for a neutral reader on what the album is about. I know (originally by implication) that it is anti-religious, but is this the theme of the songs?
 * Yes, i added "However, the first words Araya sang when recording Haunting the Chapel were "The holy cross, symbol of lies, intimidates the lives of Christian born", and other anti-religious lyrics"


 * More background to the album would be more informative.
 * As i said it's an EP, it's got where it was recorded, by whom, problems during recording, how the album came to be, lyrical themes etc
 * OK, but is there any information in the sources about what influenced the recording, rather than just 'they decided to create an anti-religious album.'?
 * Point taken - "These lyrics were inspired by the band Venom, who King was influenced by, and was into the Satanic image."


 * Further information and (perhaps) more broad coverage would be beneficial.
 * ''Well of course, but that information isn't available, thus why i go for GA not FA.


 * (Sourced) information about reception from fans and other listeners could be useful.
 * Sources from fans wouldn't be reliable.
 * They could be if taken from a chat room. However, if a summative comment from an article describing the album (like the sources you have already cited) was available, it could be.
 * ''Point taken - from the AMG review - "Fan favorites "Chemical Warfare" and "Captor of Sin" are played at Slayer's live shows regularly."


 * Bear in mind that unnecessary trivia is not recommended. Whilst this has been avoided so far, it is a risk whilst extending the article.
 * Uh huh......

Overall however, this is a well-sourced and informative article with no major formatting or copyedit-type problems. It could just do with being slightly more extensive. Good luck! ck lostsword|queta!|Suggestions? 22:12, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm a bit lost with your review. M3tal H3ad 02:12, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Although I accept some of your points, I do still think some sections need a little clarification. ck lostsword|queta!|Suggestions? 09:34, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * You raised some decent points, if you still don't think they have been dealt with leave a message and I'll get to it ASAP. Thanks for the review. M3tal H3ad 02:18, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Nope, that's much better - I have awarded GA status. Well done! ck lostsword|queta!|Suggestions? 09:04, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Is this article about Slayer or Gene Hoglan? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.91.248.146 (talk) 07:09, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Lyrics/Music Credits
Does anyone know who wrote the lyrics and who wrote the music for the songs on this EP? I couldn't find anywhere where it would get that specific with the credits, they all just credited it to "Hanneman/King", so I just assumed that meant that both the music and the lyrics were written by the two of them, but I don't feel sure enough.
