Talk:In Rainbows

Pitchfork (again...)

I don't know if anybody noticed it previously but... in a somewhat unusual move, they gave a separate review and rating to the bonus disc... on December 14. --200.118.203.21 (talk) 21:49, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Good Article Review - Failed

This article fails to meet criterion #5 as it was physically released two days ago. Therefore, information regarding this article will change erratically, such as chart positions and sales figures. NSR77 ^T_C 22:46, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Although in every other respect it seems as though it should be able to pass GA. I just got the album today and am listening to it for the first time... this should be renominated in a month or so.--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 11:21, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Record label in infobox

Let's talk about the record label in the infobox. I think it should be 'Self-released' but others think it should be 'XL Recordings, TBD Records'. According to {{Infobox Album#Label}} only the record label that the album was originally released on should be specified which would mean 'Self-released' since it was first released as the digital download. Even if you were to ignore that, listing XL and TBD does not represent a worldwide perspective. Why list the US and UK labels and not Australia, Canada and Japan's labels? They weren't even the first countries to release the album on CD. - kollision (talk) 01:57, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

I agree. It currently contradicts the second sentence of the intro. Or, for a compromise, get rid of the field as there's clearly a whole section on it for people who want to find out. –Pomte 11:27, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I see four options here:

1. Blank record label field
2. Self-released
3. (See 'Release history' section)
4. Self-released (Details below)

- kollision (talk) 09:41, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm definitely for option 4. It's the earliest known release and probably the one that's made the bigger impact, thus, more notable than a couple labels that a large majority of people don't know about or have an interest in. —Vanishdoom (talk) 10:27, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

MK1

Just a suggestion, but it's perhaps worthy of a mention that "MK1" samples "Videotape" from disc 1. Orangekubrick (talk) 20:10, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

GA on hold comments

These are essentially just copy editing suggestions.

• When you first mention OK Computer, give it a wikilink. Same with Hail to the Thief.
• "…suddenly everyone is being spontaneous and no one's self-conscious because you're not in the studio... it felt like being 16 again" Use a more standard ellipsis (…) for this and the other times when you use them.
• "The lyrics are quite caustic – the idea of 'before you're comatose' or whatever," Use an unspaced em dash (—) instead of a spaced en dash ( – ).
• "…it's very colourful - I've finally embraced colour!" Use an unspaced em dash instead of a hyphen.
• "every record for the last four — including my solo record — has been leaked." Use em dashes rather than en dashes.
• "45 RPM"—"rpm" need not be capitalized.
• "The box includes a second enhanced CD which contains 8 additional tracks," since the number (eight) is below ten, it should be written out rather than using a symbol, per the MoS.
• "The album was released on CD and vinyl in Japan by BMG on 26 December 2007," You mention the CD format before in the article, but link it here. Find the first occurrence, link that one, and then remove this.
• "Mediabase noted that "Jigsaw Falling into Place," You wikilink "Jigsaw Falling into Place" earlier in the article, so this one should be removed."
• The links titled "Mix Of Art And Morality", "It's Up To You", and "Discbox: Details" are dead. Please fix or remove them.
• When you write things such as ""15 Step" – 3:57", em dashes, not en dashes, should be used.

Just curious -- why are you making a list of extremely straightforward fixes to the article, that requires no knowledge of the subject, rather than improving the encyclopedia by just doing the work yourself? -/- Warren 16:39, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Because it's a review and these are for the article's nominator to fix, not me. Kakofonous (talk) 16:40, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

We're all here to improve the encyclopedia, not to run around writing to-do lists for other people to act on. It isn't your position to give other people tasks. Fucking hell, man, it takes less time to add wikilinks to an article than it takes to write a to-do item that says "add wikilinks here and here". Think about it! -/- Warren 17:22, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

As you can see from my contribs, I generally do correct mistakes that I find in articles, but, when reviewing a GA nom, I review the article, leaving the corrections to the article's nominator. Kakofonous (talk) 18:32, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

I've fixed these issues, but I think that en dashes are more suitable for tracklistings; at least that's my understanding of the MOS. Atlantik (talk) 18:17, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Passed

I passed the article, as I had no issues besides the mechanical ones I mentioned. Kakofonous (talk) 18:32, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Bonus Track

In Rainbows has been out ages and I am wondering if anyone could shed some light on whether this is true... http://covertarget.com/si.php?cat=1&id=201358&sid=6675

Seems there's a bonus track on some version of the In Rainbows album. I only have 10 tracks and I'm in England. Any US In Rainbows owners care to elaborate? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.107.3.6 (talk) 17:05, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

also another thing... isn't 'Last Flowers' called 'Last Flowers To The Hospital' ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.107.3.6 (talk) 17:12, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Maybe as a bootleg it was "Last flowers to the hospital" as a work in progress, but the official release is just "Last flowers" full stop. 67.5.157.118 (talk) 06:35, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
