[edit] Sun O)))

Could some parts of Sunn O)))'s "My Wall" be partly based on it? It resembles very much, really. Ciacchi 22:36, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't know the band, but I looked up the lyrics. I don't see how it relates to "The Bells," really. It makes some slight repetition, but nothing to the extent of Poe's poem, and it's not onomatopeic as far as I can tell. This is a stretch, but you may find an interview with the band or liner notes or something that says otherwise. Midnightdreary 23:55, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] links

is it this one, right? shouldn't they be linked?

btw, why isn't there a link to the poem?!?

Those links aren't at all related to Poe's "The Bells." And, yes, there is a link to the full text of the poem. It's the "Wikisource" box at the top right corner. I hope that helps. -Midnightdreary 03:47, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

lol i searched for the link to the poem at bottom not at top :D about these links, if i understood correctly they use the music by Rachmaninoff written for the Poe's poem, don't they? --Lo'oris 13:56, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

No, definitely not. One is "Carol of the Bells," the other is a fairly useless parody of "Carol of the Bells." Neither is Poe-related. -Midnightdreary 19:31, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

thanks! --Lo'oris 15:11, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Critical Reception

I was disappointed to see that there isn't a "critical reception" section in this article. That's all. Deepfryer99 (talk) 14:28, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

It's definitely an in-progress article. Jump in when you find some good sourced material on critical reception! :) --Midnightdreary (talk) 14:32, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
