[edit] Concept exploration lacking
The discussion of the album's concept is really biased and unimaginative. Surely someone has a more interesting and though-provoking interpretation of the album. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.154.95.133 (talk • contribs).
- That, and it was clearly cut & paste from another website, so I removed it. — RevRagnarok Talk Contrib 10:59, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Dual Disc Video Correction
To whomever manages this page, I wanted to say that all 3 music videos on Dual Disc version are all done in both 5.1 Surround and Stereo, this is a misconception due to the fact that they screwed up on the menu of the disc, it makes it look as though only Closer has both, what they meant was "Play all in 5.1 Surround or Play all in Stereo". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 208.187.169.190 (talk • contribs).
[edit] Trivia Incorrect?
"The looping female voice that appears on "Reptile" is a sample from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre."
I don't seem to remember a looping female voice in "Reptile." Maybe the original editor meant "The Becoming?" That would make more sense, I KNOW there's a looping female voice in that song. But I don't know for sure if it was a typo, so I'm afraid to change it. If anyone knows if this is a typo, please fix it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Drewcifer3000 (talk • contribs).
Listen to "Reptile" at 5:05. Is this the sound that is being referred to? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by NickD (talk • contribs).
It could be, but without a source, we cannot make a claim like that. --Reaper X 20:01, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
The song meant to be referenced here is actually "Reptile", "The Becoming" is actually a typo. (there are a bunch of voices in the "crowd" being looped throughout THAT song, lol.) But on "Reptile" at about 5:05, the sample is from a scene in "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" with one of the girls in the movie whispering "Kirk, help!". That sound is looped a few times before closing the song. Also the rest of this section is correct. A sample from an Iggy Pop record (The Idiot) is used in "Closer" and "Mr. Self Destruct" blatantly opens with a loop from THX-1138. I doubt I would have to make an Ogg Theora video of comparisons here. I am just as adamant about accuracy as everyone here and appreciate all efforts to meet that goal. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Technolust (talk • contribs).
