[edit] Leak information

Since we don't have much information on the album and the details of its being leaked are pertinent and relevant, can people with newly-created accounts stop removing the second paragraph of the article? It's pointless and it's not helping anyone. Cheers --W guice 14:33, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Judging from the previous edits from the anonymous users reverting the info, it seems that they are Pitchfork Media people trying to shift the blame and attempting to cover the fact that they are directly responsible for the leaking. 08:57, 4 September 2006 (UTC)Pinchofhope

[edit] Pronunciation

Article currently reads: "Ys (IPA pronunciation: [i:z]) is an album..." If I understand the IPA article correctly, this means it is pronounced eez, as in "please", whereas I was under the impression that it's pronounced eece, as in "niece". The press release says it's pronounced "ees" – definitely a tad ambiguous, but I'm guessing that my interpretation is correct, meaning the IPA pronunciation would be i:s. Does this sound reasonable? →smably 22:03, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

  • i was wondering the same thing, esp. since IIRC the release also mentions that the album's named after the town, which is also pronounced thus. i changed it. -- W guice 22:12, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Critical Acclaim

If no-one objects, I might add a little bit about the awesome reviews it's been getting....cos it is quite good really. PunkOn 06:39, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Link from Ys page

I feel that it'd be nice to be able to come to the album page directly from the main Ys page, rather than having to go through the disambiguation page. Any thoughts? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.101.199.152 (talk) 08:01, 5 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Harper reference / inspiration

I have been trying to edit the page and insert the called for 'citation', but everytime I do so half the page disappears. Not wanting to totally screw things up completely it would be helpful if someone could add in the reference for me. I haven't had this problem before, it may be the computer here (French Polynesia)? or server issues?

"The album, particularly the length of the songs and orchestral arrangements, was inspired by the 1971 Roy Harper album Stormcock. [1]
