Talk:Super Collider (album)

Vic Rattlehead?
What proof is there that Vic Rattlehead is present on the album cover? He is barely visible! 117.195.60.29 (talk) 11:52, 11 May 2013 (UTC)


 * He is actually on there, but it is not easy to see on anything less than a high-resolution version of the cover. "Proof" is in seeing it, I don't know that you're going to find an article on Blabbermouth or some place confirming that Vic is on there. Personally, I don't see why they even bothered to put him on there at all, but, I didn't design or approve the cover. Also, just my opinion, but I don't think that this album is going to be very Vic-worthy, anyway (maybe he's hiding his face out of frustration?).--L1A1 FAL (talk) 13:23, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Genre
I started the genres for the album as heavy metal, thrash metal, and hard rock, based on what I have heard from the album so far. Obviously, the title track has a very strong hard rock sound to it, but Kingmaker and several previews of other tracks i have heard were reminiscent of mid tempo pieces on the last album (read: heavy metal) One or 2 other tracks sounded a bit thrashier. Any other suggestions/rationales for changing genres? please post below.--L1A1 FAL (talk) 13:57, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

I agree with the fact that this album is not a hard rock album. The title track, Super Collider, obviously has a very radio friendly hard rock sound to it, but based off of the other released song, Kingmaker, and other previews it does not not follow the "hard rock" sound. -Intensity254 14:34, 29 May 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.128.250.175 (talk)


 * I only added hard rock to be all inclusive. I see several editors have already started removing and re-adding it, as well. I reverted to the last version before the genre warring. With that said, if you would like to remove it, do you think it might be a good idea until some of the reviewers comment on it and whatnot? Since they often comment on the makeup of tracks and all, maybe see what they refer to the album as? Additionally, what's your threshold for adding a genre to an album page? Personally, I do think that the inclusion of the genre is warranted, if for no other reason than the title track is the album's lead single, and is thus, for better or worse (or right or wrong), representative of the album.--L1A1 FAL (talk) 20:34, 30 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh wait, I see you were one of those who changed the genres around. I just saw the username, and not the signature.--L1A1 FAL (talk) 20:36, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Hard rock is a completely valid entry. It should have a list precedence over thrash metal since the thrash style appears very sparingly on the album. It is a heavy metal, hard rock album... similar to much of the band's 1990s-early 00s output. But keep thrash metal somewhere in there to, hopefully, prevent the genre trolls from swarming the article. Mr Pyles (talk) 00:48, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Seconded--L1A1 FAL (talk) 05:37, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

All music described it as hard Rock and metal but denied it as thrash. Read it Since it isn't thrash and all music agrees and it's sourced. Removing thrash 70.192.201.223 (talk) 20:59, 2 June 2013 (UTC)


 * There are signs of thrash here and there. it should be retained, but listed third in importance. Besides, some other editor will probably re-add it at some point, anyway. By the way, I don't need to go read it, I put the review there, and put the quote in the article, so i know what it says.--L1A1 FAL (talk) 23:35, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Good edit and cite L1A1 FAL. As mentioned, these articles attract genre trolls who are diehard fanboys who don't want to admit their favourite thrash band has been more hard rock for 20+ years than anything else. (have already reverted an IP G-troll on several other band related pages this evening with that same agenda) The reviews clearly support hard rock... and keeping thrash "as a courtesy" will only hold back a tiny few of the long list of IPs who will edit war to get their POV included into these articles.
