GA review
(see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose, spelling, and grammar): Top quality prose. No issues.
    b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): Everything you need for GA.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): No issues.
    b (citations to reliable sources): Consistently reliable sources, presented appropriately.
    c (OR): No issues.
    d (copyvio and plagiarism): No issues.
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): Oh hell yes. You could probably bring this to FAC.
    b (focused): A Berlin Trilogy article will always need to cover more ground than most albums, but this hasn't impeded the focus here.
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias: This article has serious NPOV issues, because it omits the objective and reliably sourced fact "Heroes" is the second greatest album of all time. Therefore, it must immediately fail I'm kidding, it's great.
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.: No issues.
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): All checks out (and a particularly in-depth fair use rationale for the cover art).
    b (appropriate use with suitable captions): No issues.

Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Are you supposed to pass a GA in the first round, rather than hold it for a perfunctory week to copyedit one ref splice? Well, that's someone else's problem. I've read this article many times before, and I genuinely assumed it was a GA or even FA before I saw it on WP:GAN. I combed through the article and found one case where some references were in the wrong order. I could have easily fixed that myself, so I did. Fantastic work, so I won't make you wait any longer.
