[edit] Article needs cleanup (inappropriate tone)

Don't know anything about this band, but the article needs to be redone to meet Wiki standards.J.R. Hercules 16:03, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Could you specify a little more please? You don't actually need to have knowledge of the band to improve its tone. If you think there are inappropriate phrases, etc., then you could correct them yourself? The JPStalk to me 16:43, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
I don't have the time to do a rewrite for this article. It's standard for editors to tag articles, but not to do the revisions themself. You did know that, right?J.R. Hercules
Yeah, but it's also standard to explain your objections. The JPStalk to me 08:50, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
I can do this if need be. Just assign it if nobody else is working on it. John Pouliot 00:16, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Faux-New Age

Could someone link in and cite a review about how snarky and teasing their lyrics and attitudes are? That's how their appeal sets its hooks; they simultaneously play with and laugh at the "happy happy joy joy" attitude of cults. For example, "Together we're Heavy" combines the 1960s keyword "heavy" with both the communal spirit of consciousness, and the obvious technical detail that 20~40 musicians' cummulative body weights are, in fact, heavy.

Has anyone noticed this? Or is it just me? --Phlip

  Nope, just you.

[edit] Saw this on Pitchfork

[1] ....should we mention this on the page? Doc Strange 20:11, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Robes

At a show tonight, they were in their "combat suits" for the first part, then changed into the blue w/red "heartbeat" robes for the encore. Is this normal? If so, I think it should be in the article. – ɜɿøɾɪɹℲ ( тɐʟк • ¢ʘи†ʀ¡βs ) 04:43, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

To the best of my knowledge, this was done for the whole of the The Fragile Army tour, although when I saw them the robes were plain white [excepting the pianist, who reappeared much after everyone else with a red robe - Tim said something to him and they both laughed] Scanna (talk) 03:46, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Quest the Rest

I've found this game featuring The Polyphonic Spree. It's called "Quest the Rest." It's a very nice game. The songs are brilliant. The link for the game is here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Roxy2k7 (talk • contribs) 09:04, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Scrubs

We should definately add that they were featured in one episode of scrubs. Boydannie (talk) 12:14, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
