History

I've been working on cleaning up the history and expanding it. So far I've gotten up to God Loves Ugly (and I made a small section for Lemons since it's new). If anyone else wants to take a hand, please please remember to take a neutral tone and to cite your sources. I'd like to have this article looking as clean and polished as possible.

Lyrical Content

This section really needs to be worked on. It reads like a laundry list of songs.
Intrinsical (talk) 19:31, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can we confirm the statement: "Slug maintains the allegorical stance from previous records in songs such as "Your Glasshouse" which deals with his emotions towards the war in Iraq using the guise of a person waking up from a hangover." There is no reference and I've done my research and can't find anything on this. Speculation of lyrical content should not in this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.95.41.81 (talk) 19:02, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Guys, I found a source, which seems to be an article based on a direct interview: https://www.xlr8r.com/features/2008/04/atmosphere-more-than-a-feeling/. Do you think we can remove the flag about needing citations? --Astrophyzz (talk) 01:45, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

History

I would love to see Seven's Travels in the history area, if some one doesn't write it, I will. Let me know..76.183.120.148 (talk)Brian R.

I will take care of it at some point, just haven't gotten to it yet. I will also update the YCIHMFWH section to be better, somebody just threw that in there.

Where are all the Sad Clown Mixtapes? And what about Strickly Leakage and Leak At Will? This article is lacking so much information it's ridiculous.

uhh.... click on "Atmosphere Discography" and it's all there on a seperate page Febodyed (talk) 06:30, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why does the history skip "You Can't Imagine..."??? 97.116.23.136 (talk) 22:22, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

More images of the band available

Please see Commons:Category:Atmosphere (band) for a number of new and good quality images of the band. I know nothing about the band so I am not adding these myself, but rather request someone else do this. Cheers, Quibik (talk) 19:09, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

HOLY CRAP, biased

I mean, it is impossible to find an article on Wikipedia nowadays for music groups and artists that is written with no bias, but holy balls, this is ridiculous. Stuff like,

"Atmosphere hit the road harder than ever in 2001 with three separate tours straddling North America and Europe (Ford Two Tour, Who Killed The Robots Tour and Fill In The Blanks Tour; the latter being Mr. Dibbs's first outing as their tour DJ).[4] With Lucy Ford, Atmosphere finally achieved national distribution through independent distributor Fat Beats."

sounds like it is written by an Atmosphere fan boy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.147.251.22 (talk) 18:56, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Where's the bias? I see emotive descriptions eg. "hit the road harder than ever in 2001" - But this is a feature common of Music journalism. Now you might say that Wikipedia isn't a music journal, it's an encyclopedia. That is, it is meant to be a public synthesis of facts and so it's objective is to exclude subjectivity and opinion and to this point I do not disagree, but the author(s) of the article has obviously made an honest attempt at presenting information and facts on 'Atmosphere.' Naturally there is something wanting, they're obviously not perfect (like you?).

Is it written by a "fan-boy"? Absolutely, who were you expecting to write a page on Atmosphere - A disinterested PhD candidate? Furthermore, the only people likely to read this page are those who have an interest in Atmosphere. Yes the article needs improving, but I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill. I'm sorry for the ad hominem argument, but you need to cool off, it's just a wikipedia entry for a fairly unknown music group, and if we examine the surrounding country side, it's not a bad article by any stretch of the imagination. 60.234.251.185 (talk) 03:28, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Awful, awful writing

WHOA, it looks like somebody just added a ton of material to this article, but most of it has atrocious grammar and spelling. I'll see if I can edit it down later on, but if anyone else wants to feel free.Shnakepup (talk) 22:02, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

More info in the first Paragraph

This article is bare-bones, It could be improved with more intimation especially in the first paragraph witch at the moment is three sentences. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.17.55.141 (talk) 01:10, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
