Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:The Altar and the Door/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

Article needs major expansion, clean-up, and formatting. If possible, sources should be found detailing the making of the album, even in vague detail. Also, some sources regarding marketing and promotion of the album would be nice, if at all possible. Bottom line, this article just needs to be substantiated as of late. Let's add some content, then work out the little kinks afterward. --The Guy _complain ^edits 09:57, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
