Discussion

Instrumentation

While it is technically accurate to describe BT's instrumentation as including "bass trombone" it is not accurate insofar as performance is concerned. Except for occasional licks and select songs the performance is primarily in the tenor range. A trifling distinction, but a distinction nonetheless. Chabuhi 08:02, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sound Comparison

"Their sound is better compared to the song-based pop-rock sound of They Might Be Giants, Fountains of Wayne, The Saw Doctors, Barenaked Ladies, Cracker, Cake, and The Beatles."

This is opinion (rather bold at that) and, while probably appropriate for this type of article, ought maybe to have sources to support that claim. Perhaps a link to a review or something similar. Chabuhi 17:26, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Indie Band Guide

"One of the most notable parts of The Indie Band Survival Guide is the section called File Sharing: An Independent Band's Perspective ..."

This should probably be rewritten to be less "pitchy" (pun-intended). Again, there's a hint of opinion at the beginning of the paragraph. Wikipedia articles should be informational and while an article chronicling a little-known band is arguably acceptable, care should be taken not to use Wikipedia as a promotional tool. That said, this article, in my opinion, is fine, but it would be even better if some of the opinion was removed. Chabuhi 17:40, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Discography

Removed "Pizza: The Rock Opera". It is not an album-length CD.Chabuhi (talk) 14:32, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Airplay

I suggest removal of the "Airplay" section unless each instance can be backed up with source material (such as publicly accessible play lists from the radio/media outlets in question). I imagine that will be hard to come by, but I think that in the spirit of trying to make WP more reliable those mentions should be removed. Otherwise one could claim they played anywhere. "Must be verfiable" is the rule. I'll leave them be for now in case anyone can come up with credible references.Chabuhi (talk) 14:39, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
