Infobox

• Please provide an appropriate alternative description for the album cover images
  • Added editorEهեইдအ😎 02:36, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
• Remove the "single 2" parameter as it is currently unused and given the release date of the album, very unlikely to ever been used
  • Don't know why that was there, removed editorEهեইдအ😎 02:36, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Lead

• Add the release year for the album Galactic Melt please
  • Done editorEهեইдအ😎 02:36, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
• The last sentence is way too long; it can easily be broken apart into (at least) two more convincing statements
  • Done editorEهեইдအ😎 02:36, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Background and composition

Paragraph 1

• "tweet"? You could instead add "on Twitter" to the end of the sentence, or you can find a place to snugly fit it into
  • Clarified editorEهեইдအ😎 02:36, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
• You could state where that long quote comes from; you could also paraphrase it or summarize it as it is quite long
  • Done editorEهեইдအ😎 02:36, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Paragraph 2

• Again, add the release year for the album Galactic Melt please
  • It's there, read the first sentence again: "Maintaining the bright and danceable feel from Com Truise's 2011 debut studio album Galactic Melt"
• Rest looks great! :)

Tracks

• I think a better title for this section would be "Composition" or "Songs"; but I guess this is just personal preference

Paragraph 1

• "by a critic" please elaborate
  • Added editorEهեইдအ😎 02:36, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
• Nothing else to add

Paragraph 2

• No source for the first sentence/statement which uses quotes; please add a reliable one
  • Added editorEهեইдအ😎 23:40, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
• Rest looks good as well!

Promotion and release

• Nada :)

Critical reception

Paragraph 1

• Reword first sentence to "Wave 1 received positive reviews from music critics, with the EP..."
  • Done editorEهեইдအ😎 03:19, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
• State what Metacritic's score means; elaborate further
  • Done editorEهեইдအ😎 02:36, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
• "Pitchfork Media's Paul Thompson noted that the producer's attention to perfecting every detail instead of inventing new ideas on Wave 1 caused the album to lack any sort of feeling, but he concluded that "by burrowing down into a few key sounds rather than stiffly approximating a dozen-plus, the intermittently funky, unshakably finicky Wave 1 is a mostly welcome return."[6]" --> I'm not exactly sure what the middle of the sentence is trying to convey; could you reword this as well? It's rather as long as well; you could likely get the same message across without including the entirety of the quote
  • Fixed editorEهեইдအ😎 03:19, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Paragraph 2

• These reviews include quotes that are also quite long
  • Paraphrased and sometimes shorten editorEهեইдအ😎 02:36, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Tracklist

• I think you should retitle this section as "Track listing"
  • Done editorEهեইдအ😎 23:42, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
• Add a source after "All songs written and composed by Seth Haley."
  • Done editorEهեইдအ😎 23:42, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Charts

• Looks good

Other notes

• You need to add a "Release history" section giving the release date, format, and record label distributing the album
  • Added editorEهեইдအ😎 12:54, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
• You also need to include a "Credits and personnel" section which includes people involved in the making of the record
  • I'll be happy to do this, but there are no credits that list anybody else but "Artwork by Com Truise" on the album notes. Its quite obvious he wrote and produced the entire album, so in this case, the section would probably be pointless. But that's just my own preference and not Wikipedia's rule. editorEهեইдအ😎 02:36, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
