- Remove Anthony Fantano/The Needle Drop per WP:NOTRSMUSIC.
  - Not done I believe my use of Fantano as a source conforms to WP:FANTANO… "There is currently rough consensus that Fantano is considered to be an established subject-matter expert as it pertains to music reviews and that these reviews may be used in an article as attributed opinion." there is no use of him in this article other than attributed opinion, and his opinion in this case constitutes WP:DUE weight.
    - Understandable.
The writer Meaghan Garvey lauded its mix of instruments, and called it the best of the singles Remover released in 2024. She also mentioned how it "transcends past niches […] and simply gives us a hit". → Author Meaghan Garvey lauded its mix of instruments, and called it the best of the singles Remover released in 2024; she also mentioned how it "transcends past niches and simply gives us a hit".

[6]: Reliable per WP:RSMUSIC. Source does not label "How to Teleport" as a B-side.

I'm not sure if a source has to explicitly state it; it just is by nature. But also, the record label referred to it as such, and that is valid per Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Sources#Other sources "As long as the information being contributed is not overly promotional, unduly self-serving or biased, the artist or record label's website may be acceptable sources."
- Cite the label then. Your use of these sources is OR.
