Hi, I'm Kingsif, and I'll be doing this review. This is an automated message that helps keep the bot updating the nominated article's talkpage working and allows me to say hi. Feel free to reach out and, if you think the review has gone well, I have some open GA nominations that you could (but are under no obligation to) look at. Kingsif (talk) 22:13, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

Good Article review progress box

Criteria: 1a. prose () 1b. MoS () 2a. ref layout () 2b. cites WP:RS () 2c. no WP:OR () 2d. no WP:CV () 3a. broadness () 3b. focus () 4. neutral () 5. stable () 6a. free or tagged images () 6b. pics relevant () Note: this represents where the article stands relative to the Good Article criteria. Criteria marked are unassessed

• Sources look fine
• One image, fair use cover in infobox
• Infobox, ratings box, and tables all good
• Article history is stable enough
• Lead is good
• At The album's release was preceded by a tour of Europe the preceding May and June, 'preceding' is repeated in close proximity, a different word and/or some rewriting would improve this
• while "Rosemary's Baby" was previewed on the Ipecac Recordings website should probably explain what Rosemary's Baby is (a single from it?)
• Is it horror or horror and thriller films, the lead and body seem to disagree
• Also, two live shows might not account for the lead's description of "several"
• Is there no possibility of a music/style section, which could expand on how the tracks were adapted? This seems like it's important to the subject
• Drowned in Sound and Pitchfork should be in italics

Overall

• Main issue is the lack of a section on the musical style; placing on hold Kingsif (talk) 18:27, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

• Thank you for taking the time on this. I've addressed most of these in the article (and in looking, found that a separate article on one of the compositions had been created so that's provided a better link to use); the issue is that this article already essentially uses any available reliable sources and there isn't a lot of in-depth discussion on its musical style—as a Fantomas album it largely jumps around stylistically and veers into noise territory a lot. I could add some information from the Drowned in Sound review to the tune of The album, described as "genre breaking", blends together multiple genres, sometimes within a single song; it has been noted as demonstrating elements of thrash metal, abstract electronica, grunge, and jazz music to the "Background" section if you feel that would cover the necessary bases?

• @Grapple X: Rename it Background and development, add that in, and it should be good? Kingsif (talk) 20:05, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

• Added now. Gʀᴀᴘᴘʟᴇ ^ˣ 20:16, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
