Untitled[edit]

I have removed the reference to the album selling 500,000 copies as this is a. not true and b. unsourced. 80.56.35.62 11:47, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if [1] is a reliable source?
"which Van Winkle described" --> "which he described"?
Some Professional reviews dudes in infobox need italics (eg. NY Times).
"An example of the sound of Hard to Swallow." - this needs more info... describe what it sounds like, what reception of it was, how it relates to the article text...
"In the early stages of the album's development, Hard to Swallow was initially" - redundancies

"Van Winkle stated of working with Ross Robinson, "The vibe was totally so cool. We had the album finished in a month and a half because we kept the vibe."" - what's that got to do with the rest of this paragraph?

Reception section needs plenty of expansion.

And please leave me a note when done. Cheers, giggy _(:O) 02:38, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Commercial reaction also needs including, did it sell 3 copies or 3 million? Since I imagine there isnt much to write on this, it would be nice to compare it to his previous records. — Realist² (Come Speak To Me) 04:14, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The only website I could find with an exact sales figure is this fansite, which claims that it sold 100,000 copies. I couldn't find any verifiable sources discussing the album's sales. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 07:45, 23 June 2008 (UTC))[reply]
- Could you give a table of chart positions then, if it didnt sell many copies. Im sure it landed somewhere within the Billboard 200. — Realist² (Who's Bad?) 05:15, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Neither Billboard's website nor All Music Guide have any chart information for the album. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 06:10, 25 June 2008 (UTC))[reply]

"who had worked with bands such as Deftones, Korn, and Sepultura." why is this so important to warrant inclusion in the lead? Can we get a slightly bigger (since 300 x 300 is the max allowed) album cover without the parental advisory label? indopug (talk) 12:54, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that it's really necessary to upload a larger version of the cover. In any case, I've been unable to find a version without the PA. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 07:34, 23 June 2008 (UTC))[reply]
