[edit] Mastering Info

I've always thought the fact that the record was slightly out of tune was common knowledge among Rush fans, and I've read it in guitar magazines in the past. I no longer own those magazines, and to my surprise, I couldn't find information about it anywhere on the Internet. Anyone with a musical ear can simply listen to a song from the album and then the same song played live, and hear the difference, so it's a true fact, but I can't find a way to verify it using a reputable Internet source. If anyone else can do this, that would definately be good for the article.

This is very hard to believe, as if Geddy doesn't sound enough like a chipmonk without begin speeded up, find the sources before adding it back if you can't find it on the interweb its probably because it didn't happen. Also has anyone else got a problem with the interpertation of Farewell..? How does "the evolution of society from the days of medieval feudalism and autocratic monarchy, hence "a farewell to kings"" make any sense, since autocratic monarchies were ruled by, wait for it, kings? It's written in the present tense so is it not about how ordinary people in western demoracies, since we got rid of monarchies hence "a farewell to kings", are responsible for who governs us, and if we let jerks get into power and allow them to screw everything up, well its really our own fault and we have to do something about it or we will be judged harshly by history?--KaptKos 09:28, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] articles linked using song listing

I disagree with linking articles that are not about the song they are linked to. Therefore, I have removed them. "Cinderella Man" has nothing to do with Cinderella, other than having it in the name. I think that if a song is linked to an album, it should be about the song, such as "Cygnus X-1" and the majority of the Pink Floyd songs on Wikipedia. Spaceboy~ 03:14, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Agreed, sentence clunk abounds. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ff1959 (talk • contribs) 00:57, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
