Shouldn't there be SOME mention of this being considered part of the indie canon and is widely considered one of the greatest albums ever in some circles? I'm not sure this point is emphesized enough in this article.

Well if there should be SOME mention, why dont you make one?

What is the "indie canon?" The fact that some folks consider it the greatest is unimportant, anything you can think of has its people who consider it "the greatest." It's just your opinion. POV. Omit. Positive reviews are an acceptable way of suggesting what you want to say, without outright saying it. Love, 67.170.176.203 16:19, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Making of the Album

Would there be any problem with me adding a section like "Production History" or "Making of..." that delves deeper into who was involved, and what went in to the production of the album? I've read Kim Kooper's installment in the 33⅓ book series, and I'd be glad to go through it again, taking note of any pertinent information. --Ottovonguericke 17:39, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Do it. --Awesomosity 14:31, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes please! Liam Markham 18:10, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Available formats

Is it worth mentioning the formats this album is available on? Cd / Vinyl / Download?. Might be of interest especially considering the rather odd vinyl lyric sheet, and the fact the vinyl edition is still pressed 9 years after release? --born against 08:19, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Making major additions

I'm reading through the 33⅓ book right now and plan to write new sections of the article as I read (and re-read) the book. I recently did something similar with the article for The Velvet Underground and Nico and managed to elevate it to "good article" status. Hopefully, with some help, the same can be done for this. Just as a heads up, I'll be making a lot of major edits to the article in the next few days. Pele Merengue 02:33, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Someone brought up to me that I might want to consider merging the song pages with the album article, mostly for reasons of length (at the moment, nearly all of the song pages are stubs and this article is also fairly short). I'm not nearly done with this article yet, and I'm hoping others will flesh out the song pages in the future. I'm just about to really start work on both this article and the song articles, so I do hope people bare with me while they get developed. Another issue was with citations - if anyone sees any information at all that you think needs to be cited, please don't hesitate to add a {{fact}} tag. I'm doing my best to cite any information that might be challenged. Pele Merengue 01:18, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Alright, it's been a couple of months and I've yet to even touch the article. I intended to build upon the "Recording" section, as well as add a "Reception" section, but it doesn't look like I'll be getting to it anytime soon. Sorry for leaving the article unfinished for now, if anyone would like to add to these sections, please do. Pele Merengue 19:16, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "You" and "She"

I've been reading through the lyrics a number of times and I've noticed that all the references that could be directed to Anne Frank seem to be paired with the pronoun "she", whereas the songs as a whole are directed at the ambiguous "you". If this can be verified, maybe it can be used to in reference to the overall album lyrics. Smc117tcc07 05:51, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

I don't know much about the album, but there was an article in Slate last week that stated this was "a concept album about Anne Frank", so your observation seems credible. Here's the link if anyone who knows were the info should go can integrate it into the article: http://www.slate.com/id/2185219/ |Godofbiscuits 15:50, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
