I can take a look at this! Because I am now teaching full-time, it may take a few days to complete this review in its entirety. — GhostRiver 23:06, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

Did a quick google and couldn't find anything about it. Yeepsi (talk) 13:33, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

Reception

• Most of this section revolves around reviewers' reactions to the change in genre; this should be mentioned somewhere directly in prose, outside of the quotes

Chart performance

• Sinners Never Sleep reached number one on the UK midweek album chart, before falling to number three after selling 27,000 copies. Unclear sentence; I'm not sure when the selling 27,000 copies happened
• The last sentence has little to do with charts and should be in a separate section called "Accolades"; you should also mention what the end result was of these nominations

Track listing

• Good

Personnel

• Pipe "producer" to Record producer, "engineer" to Audio engineer, "mixing" to Audio mixing (recorded music), and "mastering" to Mastering (audio)

Charts and certifications

• The three-column look appears squashed; I'd prefer seeing the weekly and year-end charts as a two-column chart, and certifications down below in a space to itself

References

• Good

General comments

• Two photos, both of which are properly licensed and are relevant
• Per MOS:CAPTION, there should not be a period in the caption of the second photo, as it is only a sentence fragment.
• No stability concerns in the revision history
• Earwig score looks good at 20.0%, all due to proper nouns and attributed direct quotes

Putting on hold to allow nominator to address comments. Ping me if there are any questions. — GhostRiver 13:04, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
