""Riding to Work in the Year 2025 (Your Invisible Now)" as featured on Waiting for a Superman EP includes an extra line. The verse before the your invisible now section features this extra line."
What does that mean?
It seems that folks keep "correcting" the references to "Riding To Work In The Year 2025 (Your Invisible Now)" to use the grammatically preferable "You're". The correct spelling in the song's title is "Your". Please refer to this photograph [1] of the booklet in case of confusion. -- G0zer 01:44, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
A line in this article stated that this album only sold 2,800 copies as of 2006, which is obviously inaccurate. This link
[2] indicates sales figures of 18,000 prior to the re-release of the album in 2002. If anyone knows accurate figures up to the present then they could be added back in in place of the previous inaccuracies.
Should we move that to the bottom maybe? Do we want to have that many samples? -- Rajah 03:48, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Basically, I have three fundamental gripes with the article. First, there is a substantial amount of what appears to be OR; for example, see the second lead paragraph. This needs to be cited if it is not in fact OR. Second, the images do not have specific fair use rationale for their use in this article. For an example of what the image pages should look like, see here. Finally, I strongly dislike the excessive samples of the album. Not only does it detract from the overall aesthetics of the article, but it could arguably violate fair use laws. I'd recommend the inclusion of a maximum of one sample per song, and I think the article would be better with even less. Ideally, the samples should be in some kind of sample box to the side instead of their own section.
Overall, however, it's a decent article, and with a few changes, it could definitely achieve GA status. -- Cielomobile talk / contribs 06:13, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Sorry for the late response; I had forgotten to put this article on my watchlist. Anyway, it's not clear if those two sources support all the statements in the "about the songs" section, and which sources support which statements, so if the source of each statement could be clarified, that'd be great, and I'd promote the article to GA status. -- Cielomobile talk / contribs 07:09, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
Alright, I've passed the article; congratulations! -- Cielomobile talk / contribs 16:37, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
If you ever want to take this article to FA status, you might want to add more about the musical elements of the album. There is plenty about speakers and playing the different disks at once, but what about the music itself? Other than "experimental rock," there is not much to give me a very clear picture of the music. Instrumentation, harmony, rhythm, etc.; something about the music would be appreciated. -- Cielomobile talk / contribs 23:00, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
Here are some Featured Articles about albums for us to model: Adore (album), 1987 (What the Fuck Is Going On?), Christ Illusion, Doolittle (album), Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), Freak Out!, Reign in Blood, Surfer Rosa -- Rajah 17:43, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
Recently a DVD disc has leaked that was created by the band for the 10th anniversary of this album. It contains visuals for the album, introductions by Wayne, and, most importantly, TWO MORE CHANNELS OF SOUND FOR EACH SONG- a fifth disc!
Because of it's bootleg status and the lack of official release and official sources of info, it's probably a good idea to leave it out of the article for the time being. - MajorB <talk> <contribs> - 19:49, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
While it's true that the disc has leaked, it is actually a part of the Zaireeka parties that are being thrown for the album's 10th anniversary. I would say that the article should be expanded to include these parties and the disc deserves mention. Zombi3 02:26, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
I will do the GA Reassessment of this article as part of the GA Sweeps project. H1nkles ( talk) 20:47, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
The article maintains a fairly close relation to the GA submission. It is a little outdated, sales figures go up to 2006. I'd like to see more update on how the album has fared since 2006. There are a couple of dead links, namely # [22] is dead and needs to be repaired. There is a dead links template at link 22 in the article. There's also a dead link in the External Links section for the Parking Lot Experiment. Otherwise it is fairly comprehensive, Fair Use rationale exists on the article cover art, there are audio clips available for the songs, formatting of the references is solid. If the article could be updated to 2009 that would be great but at this point I feel it remains at GA standards. H1nkles ( talk) 21:05, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
I don't remember exactly where, but there was a page here that said that almost no source is 100% reliable. And in this case, I think editorial discretion points out at removing a review that spends a large part of its time insulting the bands' fans and where the reviewer admits to never having listened to the record in the correct way. That's not to say that humor immediately barrs a review from inclusion, just that there's a (blurry, but existent) line between using humor to complement a review and a "review" where less than one paragraph is spent talking about the music. Of course, the review itself has garnered enough Internet fame to earn its place in the prose. 201.190.31.64 ( talk) 19:06, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
