Infobox and lead

• Only 2018 should be listed as the recording date in the infobox since mastering/mixing was 2019 work
• Use bullet points instead for genres per Template:Infobox album, also why are they ordered differently from in the body?

Background and recording

Music and lyrics

• "and screaming synths."" → "and screaming synths"." per MOS:QUOTE on full sentences and add the pipe
• Pipe to alternative hip hop should be on experimental hip hop, as this is the alternate name for the genre
• What is the point of [17] when it does not mention the above genre?
• [19][20] should be at the end of the sentence since only the word record follows that genre here
• [21] and [22] should only be after noise, as refs shouldn't be invoked twice in a sentence and that's the later comma

• [20] should be solely at the end of the sentence before [24]

• "of guitar" which" → "of guitar", which"

• [‡ 3] should be after the next comma instead because it is used for the title too

• "the second single," → "the second single" with the pipe, but this date is not sourced
