[edit] Propaghanda

I have removed the sentences saying "This is a clear example of propaganda". This is obviously a biased statement. If someone thinks this was unjust, I would suggest they find reputable sources referring to the CD as propaganda, and quote those. And under a separate "criticism" section, rather than in the summary. Crito2161 03:56, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] UK Release date and alternative tracklisting?

Amazon.co.uk and eil.com say that the UK version will be released on 25th June. I've added this. Also according to eil.com, there will be a different track listing (more music!) on the UK version (eil.com Instant Karma) --Theverydarkhorse 21:24, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

   I've added the UK track listings. Not sure about linking, though. I'm a noob --Theverydarkhorse 18:46, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] PR

This article reads like a press release. Probably most if not all of the quotes should be removed and some of the positive statments.

It should only state what the album is, not how great it is or how worthy the cause is. Those are not neutral statements.

How about adding a section, putting it into context or some such. The whole point of the album is to raise awareness for Darfur so it seems relevant to have some background in there.--Theverydarkhorse 18:01, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Just to add: a better place for detailed background info might be Make Some Noise. --kingboyk 19:30, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
