I'll take this, as a massive fan of this album. – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 16:22, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have already made various edits regarding missing info, such as placements on best of lists, as well as removing sources out of the lead section. – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 16:36, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Overall the article is looking good, but it needs some work before it can pass. Here are my main concerns:

• The lead section does not convey how important this album is to the electronic genre. It needs to convey its importance on a wider scale (i.e. what it was praised for, why it's important, etc.)

• Most of the composition and reception sections consist of: "X person said this." "Y person said that", etc. While it's not that big a deal for GAs, it's still noticeable. Maybe try summarizing or being more general.

  If you decide to do that I'll have to fail this as you can't request copy edits with open articles that have open PRs, GANs, or FACs. Plus, you'll likely be waiting at least a few months before someone grabs it. It shouldn't be that big of a task. I just think a general summary of the article's contents would be best rather than "X person said this." "Y person said that"... But it's up to you. – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 23:07, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• This section still needs some rewording before passing. In composition alone there are five instances of the word "noted", which itself is a word to watch per
  WP:EDITORIAL. Then there are two "stated that" and two "wrote that". Again, I recommend trying to summarize more. – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 16:02, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply

• Copyvio detector is at 35.9%. Seems to be because of duplicate quotes between two sources. Shouldn't be a problem. – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 17:46, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
