The problem here is that update_all doesn't actually sanitize the
value passed to the 'updates' parameter. Your particular example will
work if you change just surround the #...@album} in single quotes, but
that's obviously not going to address the broader problem. Rather,
you'll need to do something like the following:

records = Find(:all, :conditions => {:artist_name =>
@corrected_artist.artist_name, :album_name =>
@corrected_artist.album_name, :upc => corrected_artist.upc})
records.each {|r| r.update_attributes({:artist => @artist, :album_name
=> @album, :upc => params[:upc], :status => 'corrected'})

The basic idea is to retrieve all the records to be updated first (or
for better performance just the list of IDs to be updated), and *then*
use the ActiveRecord::Base methods that actually know how to sanitize
input.
