Infobox and lead

• Synthpop → Synth-pop with the wikilink in the infobox
• I think it would be appropriate to mention the recording process of Smith's vocals that were originally seen as demo vocals, then used
• Follow this sentence with one about the composition of the covers
• To make the lead more expansive, re-arrange the reception so the sentence about critics calling the album version unexciting is followed up by what they praised about the version with Smith and then start a new sentence for the best songs of 2010s rankings, adding names of publications this included
• Remove the Belgium chart mention for the lead because these are Ultratop charts, also mention the certification was in Canada by Music Canada to specify

Background and release

• The reference does not back up the song being originally by Platinum Blonde
• "Another press release mentions" → "Another press release mentioned"
• Re-invoke [3] at the end of the sentence with Ethan Kath's direct quote
• Remove the release year of Crystal Castles from brackets since this needn't be done a second time
• "Robert Smith recorded "raw" → "Smith recorded "raw"
• "was sung; they decided to keep it" → "was sung and decided to keep the song"
• "The Robert Smith version of" → "The Smith version of" although the source says October 25 so shouldn't you use this as the date of announcement?
• "and officially released" → "and officially released as a single"
• Pipe acoustic to Acoustic music
• "A music video directed" → "An accompanying music video directed" to be specific

Composition

• Wikilink Ethan Kath and pipe Robert Smith to Robert Smith (musician) on the audio samples
• "the version with Robert Smith." → "the version with Smith."
• Beats per Minute → Beats Per Minute and pipe to Beats Per Minute (website); the staff member's name is used in the source so mention here please too

Critical reception

Album version

• "was generally considered unexciting." → "was generally considered unexciting by critics." and put the refs into order
• Pipe B-side to A-side and B-side
• Beats per Minute → Beats Per Minute and remove pipe to Beats Per Minute (website); the staff member's name is used in the source so mention here please with the last name this time
• "and that it "sounds the way" → "and sounding "the way"
• "said that this track" → "said that the track"

Robert Smith version

• Mention this was the staff of Fact
• To avoid overquoting, put the last part of Dombal's quote into your own words as something like "one of Crystal Castles' catchiest works"
• "and "Once again, Kath and Glass spun aesthetic" → "as Kath and Glass manage to spin "aesthetic" per above – re-invoke the ref at the end of this sentence too per direct quoting
• "ages" while providing a" → "ages", while providing a"
• Put some of Molly Beauchemin's quote into your own words to avoid overquote
• "described it as the" → "described the song as the"

Accolades

• Regarding the lists, rather than mentioning so many in the first sentence I would only mention any notable rankings like the highest few in prose
• Beats per Minute → Beats Per Minute and pipe to Beats Per Minute (website)

Commercial performance

• Create this section because the positions need to be written out in prose to be in the lead

Track listing

• Good

Personnel

• Use {{spaced ndash}} so there is the right space between credits and personnel

Charts

• See MOS:TABLECAPTION
• ARIA Charts → ARIA in the table as this is how it is supposed to be formatted

Certifications

• See MOS:TABLECAPTION

References

• Copyvio score shows violation possible for the Pitchfork decade ranking so cutting down on the direct quoting should fix this
• UnderTheRadar → Under the Radar and pipe to Under the Radar (magazine) on ref 3
• Beats per Minute → Beats Per Minute and pipe to Beats Per Minute (website) on ref 14

External links

• Good

Final comments and verdict

•  On hold until all of the issues are fixed after knocking this review out! --K. Peake 20:26, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
