[edit] Other albums
There was no mention of the mewithoutYou split and also the Deluxe version of O God. Does anyone want to add the Deluxe O God?
[edit] Two drummers?
- I don't know. Seems odd. they only had one playing the Toronto Ozzfest show. --Pookythegreat 20:10, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- maybe it was matt putman?
I heard someone say something about a fan playing drums as well. Dunno.
- one was an auxillary set, to provide sounds and effects that may be present on an album, but are impossible to duplicate with a single drummer live. They had an aux. drummer at a show I was at on October 7th in Detroit.
[edit] New Picture?
- This one is kinda old and does not have the newest lineup depicted.
- Yeah, maybe the Redeemer promo picture (where they're all grubby) would be more suited? 82.12.151.178 19:04, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Southern Rock
I don't flippin think so. Name one song by them that is southern rock.
MAN Their Entire new album is southern listen and see if you still disagree
I know its southern. I was speaking of how it's southern METAL. MAKE A PAGE FOR IT!
Redeemer might be considered southern for some of you guys, but if you think about it for a bit, is it actually that important?

[edit] Hatebreed Comparison?
That has to be the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Hatebreed? Bless the Martyr? BtM was the album that had the most comparisons to Botch and even to Isis to some extent. I'm gonna remove that Hatebreed comment.

That whole section was unsourced, anyway. Someone could redo the comparisons, but have actual proof for the consensus view on the sound of the record. I don't think anyone who whas half a mind would have ever said they sound like Hatebreed.

[edit] Emo
Some bastard put their genre as emo. Theyre not even close to emo so whoevers doing this should stop. Its probably some loser vandal who doesnt like this band and thinks itd be funny to put emo as their genre. I changed it back to metalcore. --Burger king 02:16, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
Good job for paying attention to that. Just like southern rock before that, they are not emo.
AKnot 03:49, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
Norma Jean Is Frickin Southern Metal not Metalcore. Metalcore is bands like Zao and Winter Solstice.
Maybe so but primarily they are metalcore/mathcore. Also Southern metal segment in Southern rock isn't enough. One more thing, your statement doesn't really prove anything.
AKnot 23:33, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
If they were southern metal they would be listed in www.metal-archives.com they are a Hardcore band with little metal influence.
[edit] Tooth & Nail
Some whack-job put their record company as Tooth & Nail. They were never on it, but they were on their division, Solid State Records, which supports HEAVIER Christian music that T&N. I deleted T&N.--HappyBoy 18:29, 8 November 2006 (UTC)HappyBoy
Well I put it in there. Calling a whack-job is a bit too much. I put it there since they are part of Tooth & Nail (not exactly but noneoftheless part of it) since they manufacture the records.
AKnot 00:31, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Well They aren't really metalcore eitherMaylene777 15:17, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Wrong topic. Also since they are mathcore, they are metalcore.

[edit] Heartcore genre.
The genre[1] edited recently has been removed for not having enough information about itself.
Also Norma Jean is Metalcore/Mathcore; if they were Hardcore or Post-Hardcore, heartcore would be considered.

[edit] The Name
The band was originally named "Luti-Kriss". To avoid confusion with the rapper "Ludacris", who happened to be from the same area, a name change was in order. In addition, a name change was a good opportunity to progress from the music of "Luti-Kriss". Marilyn Monroe did spark the idea, but they had a whole list of names they were trying to pick from. The word "pattern" happened to be in a couple of those names, so the word "pattern" had a special meaning that the band wanted to incorporate into a new name. In spite of Norma Jean being on a list of potential names among other names that used the word "pattern", the initial vocalist for the band, Josh Scogin, looked up the meaning of the word Norma and discovered that it means "patterns". The band agreed it was a strange coincidence, because Norma Jean was among their favorite names, but it had little to no meaning. They then looked up the meaning for the word "Jean", and found that it means "God’s grace and mercy". Together then, the name means "patterns of God’s grace and mercy".
I removed this text because 1) it was unsourced 2) it is poorly written & 3) "Norma" does not mean "patterns" and "Jean" does not mean "God's grace and mercy". --Awesome 04:47, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hardcore
Well they can fall under the Metalcore genre but their music is more on the side of Toughguy hardcore and has little to no metal elements.
