Reviews

What should be done about the reviews down the bottom of the page? I am tempted just to delete them as there are reviews in the infobox, but im looking for a second opinion on this one.Grover 10:08, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Language Ambiguity

There is some ambiguity at the end of the the first paragraph:

"...sales quickly waned and it failed to match the popularity of predecessor Superunknown. Likewise, in 1996 fellow Seattle grunge rockers Alice in Chains released their last studio album with no major tour, and Pearl Jam's popularity suffered from the release of the idiosyncratic No Code."

It is ambiguous whether Soundgarden did a major tour either (which I am pretty sure they did). Also, the last bit about "No Code" also seems a bit vague.

Furthermore, AIC's self titled album came out in 95, not 96.65.43.214.58 12:32, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"End of grunge" section re-added

I don't know why that was removed, it shows that this was one of the last significant albums released during that era. It is widely agreed upon that 1996 was the last major year for the "grunge" craze, by 1998 the whole thing fizzled out in the mainstream, and I think the section should stay there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.229.172.234 (talk) 14:37, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Personnel section

As the personnel section is so cluttered, I feel that columns are necessary for clarity purposes. Darwin's Bulldog (talk) 03:56, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would rather go by Wikipedia policy for this. I'm awaiting clarification for what that is.-5- (talk) 04:11, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deadlinks

There are two deadlinks that I found that I couldn't find an archived copy on web.archive.org or that don't go to where they should go:
