Going through the criteria here:

2 - Verifiable with no original research (I like doing this first)

All paragraphs and claims reasonably could be challenged are cited, which is good. Fantano source is correctly cited for a video in SFNs with timestamps (I always like seeing that); all the other citations are consistently formatted. I see no evidence of copyvio. As for that spot check:
- 1a: Yup, they say that.
- 1b, 2c, 6b, 7a: Oops, your refs are out of order in that footnote. But yes, all of these check out with the background info.
- 1e and 2e: Both check out.
- 4d: Quote checks out.
- 4h: Ditto.
- 4o: Checks out, but this quote is completely unnecessarily; you can paraphrase it.
  - I think you got the wrong number, or the wrong letter. Skyshiftertalk 17:50, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    - Ah, well you fixed it anyhow. - G
- 6i and 6j: Both check out.
- 6o: This one is a lil misleading; you need to paraphrase, or else it looks like a quote from Ecco2k.

- 11d: Well no, he said Fusion aus Hip Hop und futuristischer Elektronik. You can paraphrase!
  - Done Skyshiftertalk 17:50, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- 15a, 15b, 15c: Same deal here, emphasize paraphrasing when translating. If absolutely necessary to quote, give the original statement as an EFN. Do this with the German and Swedish sources plz

1 - Well-written

Near the beginning of Composition, you have Nadine Smith and a writer from Dazed described it as contemporary pop, with Smith adding that. This is phrased weirdly, and technically we can't say the Dazed bit was written by one author. I would make the sentence something like Dazed and Pitchfork writer Nadine Smith described it as contemporary pop, with the latter adding that

As I reitterated in the source review, paraphrase! There are a lot of quotes here that can be paraphrased, and it makes sentences (esp. in Composition) difficult to read.

Try to incorporate less lyrics and more describe what the lyrics are about in Songs if possible.

Background section well-written, as is Critical reception for the most part, although one or two quotes can still prob be paraphrased there.
- Done Skyshiftertalk 17:50, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Periods go inside the quotation mark if they end a full sentence; so Sobolik's quote at the beginning of Critical reception needs it, though I feel there's more examples i've missed.

Wasn't able to find any other grammar mistakes or glaring MoS violations.

3 - Broad in its coverage - For a surprise album by a mysterious artist, yeah, this covers all the beats. It seems like everything critics talked about in relation to the album was brought up here, and it's certainly lengthier than many a music GA.

4 - Neutral - The reception is uniformly positive, are there any criticisms from notable critics? If not, understandable; a lot of music appears to not really have reliable source criticism, but important to ask.

No more reviews exist for the album as far as I'm aware. Skyshiftertalk 17:50, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

5 - Stable - Yep, no stability issues.

6 - Images - There's pretty limited amounts of imagery we can have, as we don't h÷ave pictures of all the artists together or something like that. The album art is correct licensed (yay simple geometry) and has good alt-text. I can't think of any other images that could be added here.

In summary: @Skyshifter: There's a lot of overquoting, that you can resolve by paraphrasing a lot more stuff. Everything else is pretty minor, and I don't see any issues that'd take too long to fix. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 15:13, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Generalissima: done! Skyshiftertalk 17:50, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yay! It looks a lot better now. I'm good to support on here. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 22:12, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
