Article is Awful

This article reads like an advertisement, or an essay by a diehard fan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.14.98.208 (talk) 06:16, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Songwriters

A lot of the songwriting credits listed here don't match what's written in the the album booklet. John McLaughlin isn't credited for "Safe from Harm"; Billy Cobham and Hawk Wolinski aren't credited for "One Love; and none of Bennett, Brown, Carlton, Geurin, Sample or Scott are credited for "Blue Lines". Probably all of these are sample credits, but is there a reliable source showing that they are now the official credits? Were they changed in later CD releases? — sjorford ++ 15:33, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Williams

Is it worth mentioning that one contributor is serving time for involvement in armed robberies? I think it might be but can't think where to put it.Malick78 (talk) 19:03, 22 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It'd be kind of trivial to mention it on the album's page since the album itself has little to do with Williams's conviction. Better somewhere on Massive Attack. City Of Silver 19:13, 22 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Added archive https://web.archive.org/20050413141054/http://www.bbc.co.uk:80/northernireland/atl/classic/bluelines.shtml to http://www.bbc.co.uk/northernireland/atl/classic/bluelines.shtml

To meet the more rigorous criteria of the revised B class, this article needs improved sourcing. Current styles are inconsistent and not all claims are verified. (For example, there are no sources cited for the first paragraph of "Critical Reception".) Additional improvements may also be necessary. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject_Albums/Assessment for additional information on B class in album articles. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 17:40, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
