Has anyoen got a reference for the song name 'Destructable Times'? It is listed on the CD as '(?) Times', and on Frankklepacki.com as 'Times'. Infact even the wiki article for it calls it '(?) Times'. Ragzouken16:31, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
"Destructable Times" is emblazoned upon an I AM t-shirt at Klepacki's website. I've also e-mailed him about it to confirm (that was about a year ago when I bought the album). --Zeality19:57, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of August 30, 2006, compares against the six good article criteria:
1. Well written?: Very sketchy. Not much information, and what is here is thrown together rather randomly, without being grouped well. For example the lead paragraph includes detailed information about hidden tracks on albums and other miscellanea. A lead paragraph should be brief and summarize the entire article. Also, band history, chart performance, instrumentation, albums...all these should be in different sections with a lot of information related to each topic.
2. Factually accurate?: Appears accurate, since the article is well referenced.
3. Broad in coverage?: Absolutely not. This article needs massive expansion. To see some good articles that thoroughly cover a band's history, discography, tours and legacy, see The White Stripes, Dru Hill, and Garbage. The musical clips are nice though.
4. Neutral point of view?: Good here. No biases statements, and everything is well referenced from sources.
5. Article stability? An extremely young article, so stability can't really be commented on.
6. Images?:Image:Iamband.png is not properly tagged - that is not an album cover, unless the album cover is a rectangle. You would be much better off using the front album cover.
