Background

• This section seems fine; needs "Record and getting signed" and "Artwork" as subsections

Record and getting signed

• The "Record and getting signed" section should be a subsection in the "Background" section

Singles

• The released date of the singles should be stated separately for each individual single
• Discuss each single and everything about it (music video, release date, chart history) in separate, individual paragraphs
• Difficult to follow at times because of disorganization of details
• "Four of the album's singles appeared on the UK Singles Chart..." - Specify which singles
• "...where it peaked inside the Top 80." - Specify what number it was on the chart
• "The video for "Blessed Night" was shot from inside a 1976 Buick LeSabre Custom Coupe." - No reference

Artwork

• Should be a subsection in "Background" section

Promotion, release and reception

• "They played Camden Crawl and the NME New Music Tour." - Doesn't make sense
• "Niall O'Keeffe noted its depth and range..." - Specify who Niall O' Keeffe is
• "Chris Waugh admired Joel's guitar playing..." - Specify who Chris Waugh is
• "Richard Hughes drew comparisons..." - Specify who Richard Hughes is
• "Less favourable reviews came from David Renshaw..." - Specify who David Renshaw is
• "Tim DiGravina wrote that..." - Specify who Tim DiGravina is
• "Emily Mackay compared the band..." - Specify who Emily Mackay is

Track listing

• You need to write whoever writes each song in the track list. Here is a basis to guide off of:

- Write the full name of the person on the first song. If they have written another song, just put their last name on each song they write.

• There is no reference to source ALL of the information in this section

Personnel

• There is no working reference to support the information in this section; please find another source

Release history, charts, accolades

• Each section should be a subsection, not bold-faced
• No references for singles chart information

References

• Most of the references seem OK, but others are either inactive or do not cite the information given in the sections
