• @DannyMusicEditor: As a huge fan of Evanescence, I will definitely have to review this article. It already looks great. I will post my comments as soon as possible. Aoba47 (talk) 19:37, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
• Since a majority of the article is already on the level of a GA, I will be giving more general comments about the article as a whole rather than separating my comments into sections as I typically do. Most of my comments will be smaller changes. If you have any questions or comments about my review, feel free to put them below.

Comments

• The image in the infobox needs an alt.
• In the third paragraph of the Lead, clarify “was released internationally” as “was released internationally as its third single…” While it should be obvious, I feel that is always better to be as direct as possible.
• Add a comma after the phrase “During her hiatus” in the first paragraph of the “Background and writing” section.
• The image of Steve Lillywhite needs an alt.
• Add a comma after the phrase “when the band returned to the studio” in the third paragraph of the “Recording and development” section
• Add a comma after “During the Steve Lillywhite sessions” in the first sentence of the “Musical style and inspiration” subsection
• Add a comma after the phrase “In the chorus” in the first paragraph of “Music and lyrics”
• Add a comma after “on August 8” in the second paragraph of “Release and promotion”. Same thing for “On December 12” and “On February 1, 2012”
• I would include the total lengths with the bonus tracks and deluxe edition
• While not required for the GAN, I would highly encourage you to archive all the applicable references to avoid broken/dead links in the future.

Final comments

• @DannyMusicEditor:Again, since this article is already on the level of a GA, I have offered more minor areas that can be fixed. Once you address my comments, I will pass this article.

@Aoba47: All done, except for the archiving (which I'll get to after my other GAN.) I appreciate the review! Now there's finally an album that's certified for Evanescence. dannymusiceditor ^{what'd I do now?} 21:45, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

@DannyMusicEditor: Great job with the article; I really enjoy reading it as it was very informative about the recording and release of the album and it was already very well-written. Honestly, it was one of the best articles for an album that I have read on here. This is a definite ✓ Pass and it was pleasure to work with you. Good luck in getting the other albums/pages for Evanescence certified and I look forward to possibly reviewing them in the future if you do so.
