Talk:Joan of Arc (band)

The Gap

The description of the band's most controversial album, The Gap, could use some improvement. On 24 February 2022 it was changed from this:

Completely eschewing past convention, JOA created one long ebbing piece of music, with only occasionally recognizable songs. This increasingly progressive studio-heavy approach — mostly of clattering, incidental percussion and background noise — found some favor among band loyalists, but baffled the music press.

to this new version by Noemienours:

Reminiscent of the most dancing accents of "Live in Chicago", JOA created some of its poppiest and most danceable songs, with only rare occasionally recognizable instrumentals. This increasingly progressive studio-heavy masterpiece was neither listened to seriously by the music press nor by Jade Tree themselves.

I'm a big fan of The Gap, and although I agree that the first description is quite inaccurate (seems like it was written without listening to the music but after having read a negative review), I don't consider it to be the band's most "danceable" work, either. The "wasn't listened to seriously by Jade Tree" part would also require a citation. I'm going to rewrite this description unless someone objects. Lorenjan (talk) 23:32, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

Rewritten April 14, 2023. Hopefully the new version is an improvement. Lorenjan (talk) 19:40, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

Discography

Can someone fix the discography of this band per Wikipedia:Lists? Also, please don't create a gallery of album covers in the article. I know that this appears in many articles, but it violates Wikipedia:Fair use criteria and we're trying to clean them up. Jkelly 21:05, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

I've replaced it. Jkelly 21:24, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Merger from the Tim Kinsella article

The article on Tim Kinsella includes an extensive list of the bands he's been in, plus short bios of the bands. The section on Joan of Arc on that page, though, is several paragraphs long and includes a discography as well as a lot of other redundant material covered in the Joan of Arc article. I think this section should be shortened, with its unique content merged into the Joan of Arc article, along with a "Main Article" link. -- 128.148.20.123 (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 19:24, 19 November 2008 (UTC).

I agree but I think Tim Kinsella does deserve his own page. I have truncated the JOA section on Kinsella's page and included a link to this page. I have also linked the discography to this page. I see no reason to have the information in two places. Since this discussion hasn't had any activity for several months (and no apparent opposition), I have also removed the tags.
