Background

This section seems fine; needs "Record and getting signed" and "Artwork" as subsections

Record and getting signed

The "Record and getting signed" section should be a subsection in the "Background" section

Singles

The released date of the singles should be stated separately for each individual single
Discuss each single and everything about it (music video, release date, chart history) in separate, individual paragraphs
Difficult to follow at times because of disorganization of details
"Four of the album's singles appeared on the UK Singles Chart..." - Specify which singles
"...where it peaked inside the Top 80." - Specify what number it was on the chart
"The video for "Blessed Night" was shot from inside a 1976 Buick LeSabre Custom Coupe." - No reference

Artwork

Should be a subsection in "Background" section

Promotion, release and reception

"They played Camden Crawl and the NME New Music Tour." - Doesn't make sense
"Niall O'Keeffe noted its depth and range..." - Specify who Niall O' Keeffe is
"Chris Waugh admired Joel's guitar playing..." - Specify who Chris Waugh is
"Richard Hughes drew comparisons..." - Specify who Richard Hughes is
"Less favourable reviews came from David Renshaw..." - Specify who David Renshaw is
"Tim DiGravina wrote that..." - Specify who Tim DiGravina is
"Emily Mackay compared the band..." - Specify who Emily Mackay is

Track listing

You need to write whoever writes each song in the track list. Here is a basis to guide off of:

- Write the full name of the person on the first song. If they have written another song, just put their last name on each song they write.

There is no reference to source ALL of the information in this section

Personnel

There is no working reference to support the information in this section; please find another source

Release history, charts, accolades

Each section should be a subsection, not bold-faced
No references for singles chart information

References

Most of the references seem OK, but others are either inactive or do not cite the information given in the sections
