NPOV Violation:

I figured this paragraph was a huge violation of NPOV, not to mention improper grammar (so I removed it):

Aqua is an album consisting mainly of arena rock numbers, which avoid to sound like the ones on Alpha and Astra. Downes, who continues to write most of the material, keeps the music at a professional level very well. The "Aqua" instrumentals, the first one opening the album and the second one closing it, are the showplaces for the changes that Downes has gone through since the release of Astra. The rest of the tracks, some written with other collaborators, include ballads and numbers about love and war. "Who Will Stop the Rain?" is the single on the album, although it didn't chart (neither did the album), but it's a good track you can listen on the album. Other good tracks include "Heaven on Earth", a track that shifts from a ballad to a rocker number. "Someday" and "The Voice of Reason" also represent the album well. This album is a suitable follow-up to the band's debut, so those who prefer this 10-year delayed encore, should get it and skip the albums between the debut and this one.

Grant Hart as co-writer? Probably not.

The article had Grant Hart listed as a co-writer on one songs and his surname listed on another. I looked this up in the ASCAP and BMI databases. Grant Vernon Hart is represented by BMI. The song "Lay down your arms" is represented by ASCAP, and the songwriter with the surname Hart listed is Gregory Nigel Hart. The other song, "A Far Cry" does not come up in either database. No other songwriting credits are listed for Gregory Nigel Hart. This leads me to believe that the song is not written by Grant Hart.--Larrybob (talk) 19:25, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
