The Microphones discography

 * Nominator(s): — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 19:43, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I am creating a good topic from the Microphones studio albums. The Microphones is a independent band, and has never charted, so the discography is a little different from most bands. They have many miscellaneous albums which I grouped into one category, since their attributes aren't mutually exclusive (e.g. there are some demo albums, and some compilation albums, but 2 compilation albums of demos. How do you split that into sub-sections). — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 19:43, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

 * The allmusic ratings are unnecessary as pretty much all featured lists of discographies don't have them, and a chart position column should be added if any of their albums have charted (even if it wasn't on the main Billboard 100 chart). Other than that, it looks good! The Midnite Wolf (talk) 20:23, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi! The reason I added the AllMusic ratings is because none of their albums have charted. Since AllMusic has rated their releases more than any publication by far, I thought it made sense to show them to the reader, since it provides extra context on how the albums were perceived. I'm willing to remove it, but I sort of want a better rationale than to be consistent with other articles: all subjects are different and so the content they require will naturally vary.
 * I looked to see if the band has charted, and couldn't find anything. If anyone has any resources or advice for places to look that would be great. — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 21:53, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

 * "Mount Eerie is a concept album that portrays a linear storyline." - I'm not sure this is relevant for the discography
 * I think briefly describing each album gives the reader extra context on the artist's career as a whole. I'm not open to removing this, because I wrote short descriptions for the other albums (e.g. "went on to become a cult classic and Elverum's most critically acclaimed album"). It's inconsistent to remove one but keep the others. — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 15:09, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
 * That makes sense then, thanks for explaining. Sebbirrrr (talk) 20:02, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
 * "has implied that the box set signifies the end of the Microphones" - is there a better way to word this? The source says: "implied that the box set marks the end of the Microphones"
 * The note about the labels is somewhat unnecessary; the readers could go to the album articles to find more about the release history
 * I'm assuming you meant the footer in the studio album table; removed. — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 15:09, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah that's what I meant. Sebbirrrr (talk) 20:02, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's worth mentioning that none of their songs charted as it is obvious from the table itself
 * Per MOS:CONFORMTITLE, the album titles should be italicized in the refs

That's all I have! I'd really appreciate it if you could leave some comments on my current FLC, which is also a discography! Sebbirrrr (talk) 21:20, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
 * All above done, except if noted. Thank you for the comments! I can try to get to your FLC if I remember. — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 15:09, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Support - all of my comments have been addressed and thanks! Sebbirrrr (talk) 20:02, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
