I mostly agree, but am now going to ask one question that I've been 
wondering for the time I've been in MusicBrainz(I'm pretty new, but I 
think I have the basic knowledge): Almost everything by 
Foetus(Performance name for J. G. Thirlwell, 
http://musicbrainz.org/artist/934c6bbc-3fc4-4d4a-9280-f02856da0e12.html) 
is listed - Surprise surprise - under Foetus. Now, before the 
mid-nineties, he didn't settle for just 'Foetus', but usually used an 
alias that included 'Foetus', such as 'Foetus Under Glass', 'You've Got 
Foetus On Your Breath' or 'Scraping Foetus Off the Wheel'. All these 
releases are, however, listed under Foetus. I've actually refrained from 
tagging my most of my Foetus with Picard and keeping the original names. 
Should the Foetus entry be divided into a bunch of different Foetuses, 
or is there a specific reason why they're all under Foetus?
