Talk:Hidden (These New Puritans album)

Review
please note that the observer in fact gave the album 5/5 - the '4/5' on the internet version is only for the yeasayer album. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.178.222.233 (talk) 13:19, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Please provide evidence to back this up. We can only go on available sources. PRB88 (T) 17:51, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

will do, thanks 86.178.222.233 (talk) 19:26, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * RB88public or anyone else, would uploading the physical observer review to this page constitute evidence / a reference? or would that be illegal?86.178.222.233 (talk) 12:38, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I found the paper. It does say 5/5. PRB88 (T) 10:02, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Lead label
what is your source for the contention that "the contract is signed with angular"? thanks. james
 * It's everywhere. A 0.1 sec Google search finds this for example: PRB88 (T) 19:22, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * i can't see anything in this article that suggests that the album was released by angular before it was released by domino (see your edit summary where you refer to 'lead labels'. 86.178.222.233 (talk) 19:31, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not about who released it first. It's about who the album is signed to. Same thing with Bloc Party and Wichita, for example. Atlantic may do it worldwide for them or even earlier but they have to get permission from the lead label. PRB88 (T) 19:34, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Or The Strokes and RCA, with Rough Trade in UK, and BMG worldwide. Only RCA must be mentioned. PRB88 (T) 19:35, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, that is contrary to what i read at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:ALBUMS#Label. But in any case, it says on the album sleeve tgat the recording is licensed to Angular by Domino. What is your evidence to the contrary? 86.178.222.233 (talk) 19:38, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * You've obviously got an agenda here so this is my last post. You're misconstruing the guideline. I will take any changes as vandalism. PRB88 (T) 19:41, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * The guideline states that "Only the record label that the album was originally released on should be specified". I was asking you to provide evidence that Angular is the "original" label. I accept that i have no reference but am confused as to why no reference is required for your contrary claim. My agenda is that the information is correct. 86.178.222.233 (talk) 19:51, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Still no evidence that "the contract is signed with angular" (which is your stated reason for treating my edits as vandalism), only more obfuscation in the latest edit - domino's EU release (18 jan) ignored, use of the word 'distribute' instead of 'release' re japan and usa (ref?), and still no reference for angular being the 'lead label'. Open question: Would referencing the sleeve notes of Hidden (i.e. "P & C Domino Recording Co. Ltd. | Under exclusive licence in the UK to Angular Recording Corporation ") be treated as being self-referential? 86.178.222.233 (talk) 20:18, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Update
Got in touch with the labels when I got to work this morning. It seems a joint contract was signed before Beat Pyramid, which makes this a sui generis case. Hence, both labels must be mentioned separated by a slash. PRB88 (T) 09:08, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * fantastic. 86.178.222.233 (talk) 12:24, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Reviews
PRB88, could you please justify how The Boston Phoenix is a more important review than The Times? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.2.224.34 (talk) 16:16, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't have to. Wikipedia has to give a worldview of subjects on top of a balanced average/coverage. We don't remove/change reviews if the 10 max limit has been achieved (like you did) unless the former two points are not covered. (It doesn't affect my decision making, but FYI, The Phoenix media group has probably more cultural clout for indie music than The Times ever had.) PRB88 (T) 17:22, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
