[edit] Origin of title

Where did the title come from?

I think it is just non-sense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.44.131.164 (talk) 18:53, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Instrumentals

Someone stated that the record had three instrumentals, Voices Inside My Head, The Other Way of Stopping, and Behind My Camel. The latter two are accurate. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.189.244.137 (talk) 00:28, 5 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Behind My Camel

Rhythmically this bears more than a passing resemblance to Bowie's "Breaking Glass". Anyone concur? Is Copeland a Bowie / Low fan ?

That explains why "Camel" is so awesome... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.146.241.90 (talk) 13:04, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

The beat used in both songs is a standardized beat for rock music with funk influences(both songs also incorporate a slap bass lick). So it could have been more of a case of simplistic standardized music coinciding rather than plagiarism as the rhythm is the only thing common to the two songs. The song won a grammy too, and low was too recent and popular a record for the grammy jury to have overlooked the similarity. So, i think the similarity is pretty normal. And yeah, the song was written by Summers, not Copeland.User: Leif edling 08:40, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What's with the accent?

The title of the album has an accent on the final A on the front cover, but no accent on the CD itself, on the end of the CD box or inside the booklet that came with the CD. Why have we adopted the accent as the official title? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.125.97.107 (talk) 21:19, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Good question. Based on nothing other than looking at the front cover, it doesn't even seem clear that it is an À character. It could just as well be for example an character. Do we know the origin of the name? --PEJL 21:37, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
