My third review for the GAN backlog of this month! --K. Peake 18:05, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

• The studio is not sourced directly anywhere in the body  Done Kncny11 ^(shoot) 20:54, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

• Target pop metal to Glam metal  Done Kncny11 ^(shoot) 22:08, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
• Remove venue parameter since that is for live recordings only  Done Kncny11 ^(shoot) 22:08, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

• Mention at the end of the above sentence that it is "from their fourth studio album, Vicious (2018)."  Done Kncny11 ^(shoot) 23:50, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
• You should add as the second sentence the full writing credits for the song due to the lead currently being too short, plus mention them in the body since everything here has to be written there  Done Kncny11 ^(shoot) 23:50, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
• "as the lead single for the band's 2018 studio album Vicious." → "as the album's lead single, through Atlantic Records." with the wikilink  Done Kncny11 ^(shoot) 23:50, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

• The studio is not directly mentioned in the body as being Rock Falcon Studios  Done Kncny11 ^(shoot) 19:31, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

• ""Uncomfortable" was a response to lead vocalist Lzzy Hale's fear" → "it was a response to Hale's fear" because you will have already mentioned her full name by adding the songwriters sentence, also introduction should solely be in the body  Done Kncny11 ^(shoot) 19:31, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
• Follow the above with a sentence about the song's genre/elements and the lyrical meaning  Done Kncny11 ^(shoot) 19:31, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

• Remove commas around the album  Done Kncny11 ^(shoot) 23:50, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
• The source says the album was released on April 6, 2015, which is incorrect because it is written as April 10 here and on the main article  Done Kncny11 ^(shoot) 18:50, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
• The production for the EP is unsourced  Done Kncny11 ^(shoot) 18:50, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

• [8] should be solely at the end of the sentence before [9]
  • I'm not sure what you mean by this. Kncny11 ^(shoot) 18:50, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
• "Guitarist Joe Hottinger says that the main riff was written "as a joke,"" → "Hottinger said that the riff was written as "a joke","  Done Kncny11 ^(shoot) 20:54, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
• "Lzzy Hale wrote the melody" → "Hale wrote the melody"
  • I would prefer to keep her full name whenever possible, because the drummer (her brother) also has the last name Hale.

• Yeah that is acceptable, as it avoids confusion. --K. Peake 14:39, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

• Mention the drums per 6

• "received widespread critical acclaim," → "was met with widespread acclaim from music critics." with the target  Done Kncny11 ^(shoot) 23:50, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
• The descriptive words used in the opening sentence can be used as part of reviews that should be written out here, as there are not enough to back up widespread acclaim
  •  Partly done I changed it to positive reception instead, since there isn't actually more than those descriptions. Kncny11 ^(shoot) 19:31, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
• MetalSucks should not be italicised  Done Kncny11 ^(shoot) 23:50, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

• "Internationally, "Uncomfortable" spent one week in October" → "Elsewhere, "Uncomfortable" spent one week in October 2018" but this should be after the Billboard year end position per geographical order  Done Kncny11 ^(shoot) 18:10, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
• "chart, at #47." → "chart, reaching number 47."  Done Kncny11 ^(shoot) 20:54, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

Final comments and verdict

•  On hold until all of the issues are fixed, but don't feel afraid to reach out if you are stuck on anything! --K. Peake 21:51, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

• Kncny11 I appreciate how you have been taking your time to ensure everything is covered; however, the writing credits are listed in the lead but not the body. --K. Peake 14:39, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

• @Kyle Peake: Everything has been addressed except for one comment where I had questions. I do think that the lead looks much more stilted and awkward now, however. Kncny11 ^(shoot) 19:31, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

• @Kncny11: I do see it in that manner too somewhat, but to fix this I would recommend splitting the single release sentence from the recording one (starting release one with "the song"). Also, you could move the last two sentences of the first para to opening the following one and add to the lead what was praised specifically about the song. Regarding the part about a ref being solely at the end of the sentence, that means not invoking the ref mid-sentence when it is already at the end. My last points are that you should include the song featuring drums in the comp because that is notable even though the description belongs in reception and I congratulate you for your plausible amount of progress on this! --K. Peake 20:55, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

• @Kyle Peake: I played around with the intro again, and moved the citation. I added a sentence at the end about the guitars and drums, since most reviews seem to mention both. I guess it didn't seem notable to me, because I actually play lead guitar in a metal/post-hardcore band (with a pop punk side project, because sometimes I don't want to have to shred), and those instrumental elements seemed pretty par for the genre. Kncny11 ^(shoot) 15:49, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

• @Kncny11: ✓ Pass now, but I did some brief copy editing of where there were issues with the flow of the lead and the prose itself in the body, though I wholheartedly commend your hard work on improving this article. It may have been a little later than you would usually aim for, but one week is the standard amount of time it is recommended for an article to be onhold so five days later is quite good. --K. Peake 16:30, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
