Rewriting
Question: is it good or bad that I keep completely rewriting this article? For what it's worth, the way it's organized now should allow it to be expanded on more easily than before. Blogbourri 18:43, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Dan and Jonathan's departure
Out of curiosity, does anyone know why Dan and Jonathan left the group? Was it their decision? Zach/Spencer's? Mutual? Blogbourri 05:52, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Discography
I just started creating the hella discog. I'm going to add more info soon. Let me know if I fuck up and something is not right. Zopwx2 21:12, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I think the album The Devil Isn't Red needs to be fixed. The correct title, as you can see on the album art should be "The Devil" Isn't Red, with distinct quotation marks around The Devil.--Jkdeadite 00:14, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

I own the cd and if check the spine you'll see the quotation marks are actually around the whole title: "the devil isnt red" Zopwx2 06:22, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Images in discographies
This band article included album covers in its discography. These have had to be removed. Please see #1 under "unaccepable images" and WP:Albums. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:23, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Add in these genres to the article and you're set
Sure, Hella has noise rock, math rock, experimental rock, those are the acceptable genres. Where did you get progressive rock and post-punk in the article? I honestly do not hear any post-punk influences at ALL. Then, you would have to note that if they're a punk band by definition, not post-punk, with what you're indicating... With Hella, add in instrumental rock (for the majority of the albums, or 3/4 of their discography is highly instrumental), avant-garde (you cannot describe - they sound is like Mr. Bungle and other bands of that nature).

Regarding progressive rock, you have odd-time signatures, sure. The second note is long winded song that go over 6-7 minutes. I will admit that to a degree (it's not on every album that this occurs). They have to follow a common theme in their albums altogether for themes. Hella doesn't have this. They don't have versus-chorus-verse with progressive rock. Yes, they do have verse-chorus-verse when Hella when they apply vocals - that's out completely. A high amount of focus/attention on instrumentation to make their songs coalesce with each other smoothly. Yes - Hella is mainly an instrumental band in their whole discography. There are other definitions for progressive rock. So progressive rock for Hella is 2, maybe 3 (yes) - 2 (no)

The long winded songs on their albums/EP:

- "Leather Diamond" [EP] - Only on Track #3 - "Hold Your Horse Is" - Only on Track #8 - "Falam Dynasty" [EP] - None - "Bitches Ain't Shit But Good People" [EP] - Only Track #2, the title track - "Total Bugs Bunny on Wild Bass" [EP] - None - "Churches Gone Wild/Chirpin Hard" - Entire Double album - "Concentration Face/Homeboy" [EP] - Only on Track #1 - "Acoustics" [EP] - None - "There's No #666 In Outer Space" - Only on these tracks: #1, #9, and #11 - "Tripper" - None

The results for progressive rock are: only on one album, and only on certain tracks on certain EP/albums in their entire discography. The majority of them are not long winded songs at all, it's just the time-signatures that makes them be this way, personally. Even people consider them hard to listen to, because how they're performed. I understand that completely because people think that death metal or some punks genres are unlistenable, people are going to consider this unlistenable. You can put progressive rock if you want to, but I think it's just a mixed opinion on the issue for Hella.

With instrumental rock this is self-explanatory. The majority of their discography is instrumental rock. Check. Avant-garde. They have experimental, noise rock, math rock and other genres in one song - probably more to add into the mix. You cannot define them in a simple sentence, they're on the same level as Mr. Bungle - they're indefinable. For Wikipedia's standards, they're going to be mixed on it, so it might be out already.

Post-punk? DO they have a sense of repetition in their song structures? Only on certain tracks does that make them post-punk? No, not completely in my book, it has to be on EVERY track; not occasional. Are they influenced by punk (that's how you can tell if they're post-punk)? That's an interesting conversation right here with Hella. I don't hear any punk in their music, personally. If Hella does have punk it's literally hard to tell, in all honesty. You also need a sense of electronica to add into the mix. Hella has electronica via the form of synthesizers in every song. Again, I'm mixed on the idea of progressive rock and post-punk in their whole discography.

Proposed merge of There's No 666 in Outer Space into Hella (band)
The stub for this album was redirected to the band's page about three months ago. The redirect was undone but I really don't see how the album is notable enough for a stand alone article. Prior to just reverting it back as a redirect, is there anything there worth merging into the band's page? Ifnord (talk) 14:20, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Looks like it's only primary sources, so I would say no. signed,Rosguill talk 22:47, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
