Talk:Sounding the Seventh Trumpet

Bass Players
I don't understand why kids keep trying to messing up the bass player in this album. Justin Sane (Justin Meacham) recorded Sounding the Seventh Trumpet, not Dameon Ash nor Justin Geever. (If you think that Dameon Ash recorded the album because the Hopeless Records reissue mentions him, you need to read closer. The booklet clearly says that he does not appear in the album and that Justin Sane recorded the bass.)  The article used to be right a while ago, and it listed all the right people. If you became a fan of the band after 2006, please avoid messing with the articles. This place does not need your contribution. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.252.39.253 (talk) 06:35, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Re-issue?
So, I recently downloaded this album (I bought it, I was just wanted smaller files). However, the downloaded version sounds really different from the MP3s I bought. Was the re-issued version rerecorded or remixed in any way, or did I just get some odd files?

 * No, the only difference is the way "To End The Rapture" is played. The original version of the album had a piano version, and the re-release had a heavy metal version. Bramblestar (ShadowClan Leader) (talk) 03:29, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * there is also a different version of "Lips Of Deceit". On One version, not sure which, the intro is more synthed and the vocals too, on the other the intro is totally guitars and the vocals are harsher. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Immersivepreview (talk • contribs) 13:00, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Kerrang! rating edit.
Stop changing the rating from 1 star to 3.5. I have the magazine, it has CLEARLY one star on the review. Obvious bias here to boost ratings. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tordah16 (talk • contribs) 14:36, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Reception
I need some help dealing with the reception section of this article page. The backstory is that I deleted the reception section under the pretenses that it was original research with unencyclopedic information and unconstructive comparisons. "The album sold well for a debut album" is comparing this album's sales to unknown, unidentified, unspecified other debut albums and is thus unconstructive. The section goes on to unverified comparisons to AFI and gives it a genre that is clearly not backed up by any proof. Then, the reception section continues to cite possible influences of the album's music. There is something wrong with that because it is not confirmed that this album is influenced by those select bands; the sound could almost just as easily be influenced by other bands. And there is that "touch of goth" stuff", which simply never belongs on wikipedia. What is just as bad, if not worse, is that talking about the music's influences should never be in the "reception" section, considering how information about the music itself (including its inspiration[s]) and the reception of the album's music are two separathe aspects of the album. Whenever I have taken away this seciont, my taking away gets reverted by an anonymous editor who is vehemently behind keeping it. In the most recent (as of this post) adding of the reception section, there were six sources added which would "refute" it being original research. The sources did not follow the wikipedia guidelines, because of the following reasoning stated in one of my edit summaries:

1. A myspace group (forum) isn't reliable. 2. It has this article on its site. 3. It is a compilative review site. 4. It is a REVIEW not even about this album. 5 and 6. They're broken links.

By the way, I have reason to believe that the anonymous editor supporting the reception section has been editing this page under 12 different briefly-lasting anonymous names (maybe not intentionally, but it's still worth posting). The anonymous names are all of the 216.12 calibre and the edit summaries are all very similar and all starting with "a correction of the ______________" The earliest edit (s)he has done was on 15 April 2009 at 05:02. This anonymous editor is adamant, and I am asking for some help dealing with this conflict. Thanks.

By, the way, I will add that I am welcome to hearing the input from 216.12 to see why he supports the keeping of the reception section, and hopefully this conflict of interests can be resolved soon.

Page Protection
Glancing through these Avenged Sevenfold album pages, it appears that there are consistent edit wars regarding spurious information, particularly with regards to songwriting contributions. It might be an idea for a regular Wikipedian who knows how to put protection on these pages to do so, as there is a lack of uniformity and a lack of citations with regards to this so-called “information”, both of which are a concern on this website. 109.150.162.237 (talk) 18:55, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
