I'm sorry, but I have been waiting patiently for someone to talk about the lack of neutrality in this article. I have waited over two weeks, even though the person who put this tag on is a newbie with only fifteen other edits. If someone wants to debate the neutrality, or provide a suggestion to where it could be more neutral, please do so on the talk page. Guyanakoolaid 09:44, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I didn't put up a neutrality tag, but I'll bite. This article needs a good deal of work in order to approach NPOV. Right now it reads like a press release aimed at getting record shop owners to buy Joggers albums, not an encyclopedia entry. Phrases like "songs marked by virtousic playing which still retain a catchy pop sensibility," the quirkiness and playfulness of the Joggers," and "another complex-yet-fun album" just don't match up with an encyclopedic tone.
I do think there's a lot of good information in the article (the bit about scale-jogging was interesting, though it's unsourced), I just think the prose should be rejiggered to be a little less laudatory. thither 07:41, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
