Talk:The Polyphonic Spree/Archive 1

Article needs cleanup (inappropriate tone)
I agree that the tone is inappropriate in regards to Wiki standards. It reads like personal essay. I can work on it if nobody has objections. Ongaku72 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 18:06, 10 August 2010 (UTC).

Don't know anything about this band, but the article needs to be redone to meet Wiki standards.J.R. Hercules 16:03, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Could you specify a little more please? You don't actually need to have knowledge of the band to improve its tone. If you think there are inappropriate phrases, etc., then you could correct them yourself? The JPS talk to me  16:43, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't have the time to do a rewrite for this article. It's standard for editors to tag articles, but not to do the revisions themself. You did know that, right?J.R. Hercules
 * Yeah, but it's also standard to explain your objections. The JPS talk to me  08:50, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I can do this if need be. Just assign it if nobody else is working on it. John Pouliot 00:16, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
 * It's frowned upon to insult people here, so the basics have to be patiently explained, again and again. I find this frustrating, and wish I could easily vent by insulting someone.
 * "Consensus" is a sought-after item on the wiki. "Just assign it" -- Assign what? No suggestions have been made, other than to "improve the article." There are plenty of articles that need improving, and on many of these there is an actual consensus regarding what needs to be done; therefore improvements in those areas are much less likely to be wasted efforts. If you seek an impeovement for this article, you need to either do it yourself, or contribute some ideas regarding what, exactly, makes an improvement in this instance.

Faux-New Age
Could someone link in and cite a review about how snarky and teasing their lyrics and attitudes are? That's how their appeal sets its hooks; they simultaneously play with and laugh at the "happy happy joy joy" attitude of cults. For example, "Together we're Heavy" combines the 1960s keyword "heavy" with both the communal spirit of consciousness, and the obvious technical detail that 20~40 musicians' cummulative body weights are, in fact, heavy.

Has anyone noticed this? Or is it just me? --Phlip
 * Nope, just you.

Robes
At a show tonight, they were in their "combat suits" for the first part, then changed into the blue w/red "heartbeat" robes for the encore. Is this normal? If so, I think it should be in the article. – ɜɿøɾɪɹℲ ( тɐʟк • ¢ ʘ и†ʀ¡ β s ) 04:43, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * To the best of my knowledge, this was done for the whole of the The Fragile Army tour, although when I saw them the robes were plain white [excepting the pianist, who reappeared much after everyone else with a red robe - Tim said something to him and they both laughed] Scanna (talk) 03:46, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

If costume changes during a performance are encyclopedic, we all better get crackin' on the Madonna article. Bustter (talk) 05:06, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Quest the Rest
I've found this game featuring The Polyphonic Spree. It's called "Quest the Rest." It's a very nice game. The songs are brilliant. The link for the game is here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Roxy2k7 (talk • contribs) 09:04, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

This article needs serious attention (2010)
This entry has not been touched in quite some time. I am trying to rework it in order to get the tone and style inline with Wiki standards. Factual claims must be cited from reliable sources and documented appropriately, and the tone must be professional and impartial. Please help me get this entry 'up to code', so to speak, by contributing typographical edits as well as major input, which should be discussed here on the discussion page (it seems like it's been a ghost town for a long time). Thank you. Ongaku72 (talk) 14:19, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

I cleaned up and reorganized the discography section to include studio albums, EPs, singles, film soundtracks, tv appearances etc ... to make it more complete. We might consider creating a separate page for this if we'd like to get further into details regarding these releases. Ongaku72 (talk) 17:30, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Idiot vandalism
