It's the same information, but in different style and wording. I cannot change the inforamtion, can't I? The inforamtion is what it is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JEPAAB (talk • contribs) 08:22, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

No, this article is in part a verbatim transfer from the above-noted site to this one.

To wit:

"An album with american-rock tilted guitars, sweet harmonies..."

"Daniel had a lot of material up his sleeve and Kenneth, Jesmond and Alan..."

Aside from such word-for-word copy, there is a serious issue of POV with this article. It's not an encyclopedia's place to issue personal opinion. Terms like "catchy songs", "powerful choruses", "sweet harmonies...packed with groovy melodies," etc... offer a personal point of view. Avoiding that is perhaps the single most difficult task many writers face, but it is of paramount importance to maintaining credibility. --Mud4t 09:33, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
