I will take this on soon, after your great review of "Welcome to Heartbreak"! --K. Peake 16:42, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox and lead

  • Replace hlist with bullet points per Template:Infobox album
  • Remove the plural of studio from any in the parameter since that is not supposed to be added in infobox
  • Remove wikilink on Favorite Gentlemen
  • Remove wikilink on studio album because it's too obvious
  • "released on July 27, 2017," → "released on July 21, 2017,"
  • "beginning in the summer of 2016" → "from the summer of 2016 onwards"
  • "The lead-off single," → "The lead single," with the wikilink
  • Target singles to Single (music)
  • "and "The Moth," were released ahead..." → "and "The Moth", were released later in the summer." because the commercial info doesn't belong here
  • Remove the introductions to who Andy Hull and Robert McDowell are because you've done that in the body
  • "that was far different from previous releases" → "that was a reset from the band's previous studio albums," plus mention the two were from 2014
  • "The resulting album is" → "A Black Mile to the Surface is" because the link is not directly sourced
  • Remove the term "influenced", as those are directly sourced as genres
  • Add a sentence about the album's critical reception, followed by one about the commercial side
    •  Done all of the above.

MOS:QUOTE issues; to be specific, this refers to when a full sentence is not quoted and the punctuation is inside the speech marks, so examples where the end of the sentence is a quote like PopMatters need to be fixed. --K. Peake 19:04, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply

Kncny11: There are still a number of points where you have placed commas inside speech marks. --K. Peake 19:50, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply
