Description of album cover

[edit]

"The album cover, depicting cut-out figures falling from buildings as if they were committing suicide." To me they represent one figure jumping across (success) and one figure falling (failure). To say they represent suicide is too much in my opinion. I will edit the text to remove the reference to suicide. I will also add a source that explains that the art is actually a photo of a sculpture. I think too many commentators seek to find references to suicide in Smith's work, given the tragic and mysterious way in which he passed away.--14.8.68.2 (talk) 00:57, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Outtakes section

[edit]

I've returned the outtakes section to this article, it was deleted by User:Jlpspinto, without citing any reason for doing so, or commenting on this talk page- it seems like it was just vandalism.

Does anyone have any objection to its return?

Not citable but...

[edit]

I just came across an uncommonly intelligent forum discussion of "The Biggest Lie". Nothing citable at the level of a reliable source, but quite a bit that may be suggestive if anyone plans to write about the song. Do people think this might merit an external link? - Jmabel | Talk 18:53, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Background

[edit]

Why does the background heading exist when it only has one sentence that seemingly has no relevance to the album. 2001:569:72CB:A400:BC09:9AE5:F31C:48A5 (talk) 04:37, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
