Talk:Join Hands

The quotes
The article starts off with some lengthy quotes from a man called Kenneth Ansell, writing in a magazine called Blank Space. This page and mirrors of it are the only Google returns for Kenneth Ansell + Blank Space; it would be interesting to know if (a) Kenneth Ansell has contributed to this article and (b) if there are any other, more notable critics who can be quoted. 'cause at the moment half of the article is taken up with what I assume is a photocopied fanzine review; it exists, it's good that someone has preserved it, but we're giving undue weight to it. It raises the question of who Kenneth Ansell was; what was his day job? -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 18:27, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Legacy Section
Does the legacy section of this article have any relevance to the main subject matter? Is it important to describe how another musician bought this record? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Electronic Music (talk • contribs) 15:49, 22 November 2012 (UTC)


 * In short, no. These are trivial tidbits that could be incorporated into the Reception section ("LCD Sound System's James Murphy cites Join Hands as one of his favorite albums"). The Morrissey bit seems wholly irrelevant, unless he actually had something to say about the song or why he chose it. --IllaZilla (talk) 15:59, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Genre
This section is problematic: "Join Hands is a post-punk album. Retrospectively, it was only recognized under this term in 2006 by music historian Clinton Heylin in his book Babylon's Burning: From Punk to Grunge. Allmusic also only presented under this genre." First, is the person who wrote this trying to say that Mr. Heylin was the very first person to describe this album as post-punk, in 2006 no less? The album was being defined that way back in the early 1980s. Second problem, the sentence " Allmusic also only presented under this genre" is illegible. I would change it, but I am not sure what the writer even intended to say. How can a music website "present under" a genre? Not sure if the writer's first language is English or not, no offense is intended, but that wording makes no sense and needs changing.Greg Fasolino (talk) 14:59, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
