Just created this page

[edit]

Just created this page. It's my first article, and there isn't much information available anyway, so bear with me. As you can see, I plan to move the gray-boxed section on Tago Mago from the Can article itself to this page (also the image). --Demflan

Opinions on an opinion?

[edit]

Regarding the following sentence in the article:

"Tago Mago is generally considered the band's greatest album: it is groundbreaking, influential and deeply unconventional, based on intensely rhythmic jazz-inspired drumming, improvised guitar and keyboard soloing (frequently intertwining each other), tape edits, and Suzuki's idiosyncratic vocalisms."

Generally considered by whom? I thought Ege Bamyasi was generally held to be their best album. The description could easily be about either album. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 18:40, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure Tago Mago is the most widely recognized as their "best album" (though the other two featuring Damo Suzuki, Ege Bamyasi and Future Days, are widely considered masterpieces in their own right). However, that sentence is a bit POV in tone, and there needs to be explainations as to why it was groundbreaking, who it influenced, etc. if the article is going to make such claims. —jiy (talk) 18:33, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
generally considered by pretty much everyone. 67.172.61.222 22:19, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review

[edit]

Looks pretty good! I have a few suggestions:

  • SACD links to a disambiguation page.

Fair enough, never mind that point. Drewcifer (talk) 01:28, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The music section is good, but I think it could be improved. Some comments should be included concerning the album's overall sound, not just select tracks. Also I'm sure the band themselves have described their music, so a few quotes from them would be illuminating as well. Lastly, a music sample would be a great addition, provided it's covered by fair-use.

  • The lead is a little bit problematic. My main complaint is that in summarizing the reception section, it singles out one (very positive) quote. I would argue that the lead is a bad place to provide quotes of any kind, especially one that is so glowing. The reception should still be summarized briefly in the lead (per WP:Lead), but should do so in more general, less specific terms.

And that's it! I've put the article on hold, which gives you 7 days. Let me know when you think you've addressed my concerns. Drewcifer (talk) 23:59, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good. Very nice work. Drewcifer (talk) 04:25, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Title

[edit]

For a long time I've searched for a more specific account of the Crowley legend, but now think it may just be made up. If anyone is interested in learning the real reason behind why this album is called Tago Mago, Holger discusses it in this interview:http://www.terrascope.co.uk/MyBackPages/Can.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.193.157.96 (talk) 23:41, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, this album is not called Tago Mago, but Tago-Mago. Look at the cover, the hyphen is perfectly legible.

Third vs. second album

[edit]

Someone keeps changing the heading to say that this is Can's second studio album. However it is most definitely not, coutning Monster Movie and Soundtracks it's their third. 68.167.71.151 (talk) 21:41, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lede compliance

[edit]

The lede is not currently compliant with WP:LEDE (needs to be expanded as an actual summary of the full article), which is required for GA status. Any pagewatchers want to give it a go? I am no longer watching this page—whisperback if you'd like a response czar ♔ 04:39, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
