[edit] Organisation, NPOV, Wikification
Something seems to be out of place in the article. After much talk of Warnings/Promises, it starts talking about Remote Part again and touring with Pearl Jam on their Riot Act tour. Something's wrong there, but I don't know exactly how to fix it, so I hope someone else will. Also, calling Idlewild (they're great...don't get me wrong here) one of "Scotland and the world's most cherished bands" is definitely not in keeping with NPOV. I'll give someone else time to tone this down before I take it upon myself to do it. Also, much more wikification is needed. All in all... good article with good balance of thoroughness and brevity.--Hraefen 16:30, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] NPOV concerns
"Idlewild are a truly independent band, in that they do not fit into any specific scene, though their sound has clearly been influenced by bands like Fugazi, early Pixies and more recently R.E.M.." I think that's going a bit far. Idlewild have a very strong punk sound, that's how I've always described them. They do have a certain uniqueness compared to mtv-punk but i would hardly say they don't fit into any scene. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 121.44.130.198 (talk • contribs) 7:16, 1 September 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Idlewild/Outkast mix up
Can we have a mention of the Outkast Idlewild mix up controversy? Magic Pickle 22:47, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
- What was that exactly? If it's notable enough and can be cited... why not?--Hraefen Talk 23:06, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
There was an interview where the band noted their displeasure in Outkast using the title 'Idlewild'. They joked that they should release an album called 'Outkast'. I don't have refs, sadly. Magic Pickle 13:08, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] New Album Announcement
I'm not a regular user of wikipedia and got no user thus, so could anyone please add this?

[edit] If It Takes You Home
This was available as a download and a 7" single [1] so was it ineligible for chart or did it just not chart?
