ive provided a lot of material —The preceding unsigned comment was added by S.U.H.E.L. (talk • contribs) 06:02, 6 April 2007 (UTC).
- It wasn't written in anything resembling an encyclopedic tone, so unfortunately I had to revert it. Please read the material located at WP:TONE and try again. :) JuJube 08:12, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removed copyvio material
Alerted by the tone, I Googled some of the article. Turns out most of it is copied directly from another website. I removed the material (marking the source in my edit summaries). This is a great band and their article really should have information on them. However, the information shouldn't be cut/pasted from another website. janejellyroll 04:40, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Uh..
" The album, seemingly destined for the cut-out bin, began an unexpected ascent into the US Top 40, and Mazzy Star were suddenly stars in sales as well as name. Make that anti-stars: Roback and Sandoval are notoriously difficult interview subjects, responding to most questions with monosyllables or silence. Their subsequent release, Among My Swan (1996) confirmed them as out-and-out champions of the mournful – their brooding, enigmatic public personas seem less a cultivated pose than a complement to the shadowy, brooding mystery of their simultaneously frustrating and entrancing soundscapes.
Sandoval made her solo debut in 2001 with Bavarian Fruit Bread ostensibly backed by the Warm Inventions, though really this is a pairing with Colm O'Ciosoig (once of My Bloody Valentine) with folk legend Bert Jansch popping up with his six string on the beautiful "Butterfly Mornings" and "Charlotte". Largely written by Sandoval, this plunges further into a languidly erotic, narcoleptic haze than even Mazzy Star could manage, the latter's spacey guitar rejected as possibly too energetic for the collection's country/folk saturated sleepiness. Adorable."
The above isn't encyclopaedic at all, it reads more like it was culled from a fansite or distilled from public releases. I mean come on, "adorable"? "make that anti-stars"? "languidly erotic, narcoleptic haze"? This article needs some serious work. 121.45.58.211 08:13, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

- It's just an endless stream of POV. It should probably be stripped down to bare minimum and rebuilt. MKV 23:37, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
- Definitely. Never noticed this before, embarassingly enough. ^_^ JuJube 00:20, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] There Should
be some sort of mention of the unusual vocal style evident in their work--78.86.18.55 (talk) 13:31, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not sure how you would state that objectively. Besides, it's hardly unique to Mazzy Star. JuJube (talk) 14:49, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
