Talk:Maps & Atlases

Reference comment
Trying to find other major media reviews that can be referenced for passing the notability requirement. The Guitar Player article is the largest magazine Maps And Atlases was reviewed in, but there are others. MrLiberty 04:39, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Regarding the requested photo
✅ I uploaded two band photos- placed one in the infobox. When/if the text is properly expanded and sourced, the other photo would fit nicely as well, and photos of the individuals in the band do exist once there is both a need and an appropriate place for them. Photos are kind of my thing in musicians' biographical articles. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 22:21, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Math rock?
While sounding "mathy" and technical, listening to their drum parts shows that most songs are in 4/4 or 3/4. Does anyone have evidence (i.e., names of songs that are believed to not be in 4/4 or 3/4 or have changing meters or are in compound meters)? Badagnani (talk) 05:08, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

'Every Place is a House', the opener off Trees, Swallows, Houses, has a bridge (the bit where the bass & drums cut out for a while) in 7/4. Math Rock is about more than just odd time signatures. Prog Rock also shares, after all, a similar penchant for them. Genres are nebulous and expansive concepts; if Maps & Atlases sound "mathy", then there's a definite Math Rock element to them. Foals are largely 4/4 & 3/4, but they're described as Math Rock, too, by virtue of their highly angular feel that almost sounds as if they were playing in curious metres.goodshotjanson —Preceding undated comment added 21:53, 31 January 2010 (UTC).
 * Still seems more involved, confusing and stupid than worth it. IMHO just within genres. Jeez. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 22:21, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Concert tours
I'm not sure if this is notable to add, but Maps and Atlases went on tour (and still are at the moment) with Ra Ra Riot as their second opener after Princeton. 74.215.220.187 (talk) 20:10, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
 * All discussion of "events unfolding as we speak", and other items like inclusion of future plans are a bad idea to enter into an article, since events and future plans (like, "his label has plans to release his new album in 2012") are a bad bad idea. We never know if someone gets sick, dies, whatever. Even with decent sources, leave it alone until it's happened. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 22:21, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Sources belong here, not in external links
These sources do not belong in External links. I have moved the link farm from there to this talk page where they do belong. Warning: I didn't check them over, so be cautious in selecting references here in the expansion and referencing of the text. The number of sources here provides a great wealth of information that, chosen carefully for notability and relevance, could be used to craft an excellent article.. Thank you! --Leahtwosaints (talk) 22:21, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
