• "it still revealed more" → "it still reveals more"
• "city called "DEMA."" → "city called "DEMA"."
• "comes in "Morph" with" → "comes in the song with"
• The second para should begin with the genre sentence followed by other comp info, as this stuff belongs before lyrics

• "The duo incorporate" → "They incorporate"
• "life into "Morph."" → "life into the song."
• "on how Tyler Joseph will" → "on how Joseph will"
• "moving forward and continue" → "moving forward, and continue"
• "so he doesn't wallow in" → "to prevent him wallowing in" to avoid repetitive wording

• Pipe hooks to Hook (music)
• Wikilink horn sections
• Wikilink electric piano
• "illustrating both restraint as well as" → "illustrating restraint as well as"
• Pipe percussion to Percussion instrument
• Why no mention of critical reception in the lead?
• ""Morph" managed to achieve" → "The song managed to achieve" but the part about no single release should be removed, as this is a 2018 release and it had already become common for non-singles to chart by then
• "and 67 in" → "and number 67 in"

Background

• Retitle to Background and conception
• "the songs from their fifth studio album, Trench," → "the songs from Trench,"

• "and lacked symbolic origin stories." → "and lacks symbolic origin stories."
• "didn't tell one" → "does not tell one"
• "a city called "DEMA."" → "a city called "DEMA"."
• [3] should be solely at the end of the para due to being used for all of the parts after [2]
• "came early in" → "comes early in"

• "moving forward and continue" → "moving forward, and continue"

Recording

• Retitle to Recording and writing
• "who co-produced it with" → "while co-produced by"
• Introduce Meany's Mutemath here rather than later on, as he is the only one of two producers listed
• "The track was then" → "The track was" unless the liner notes specify the mix being later (I have no access to them)
• Pipe mastered to Mastering (audio)

• "for their fifth studio album at United Recording Studios and chose to" → "for Trench at United Recording Studios, choosing to"

• Wikilink funky
• "R&B on "Morph."" → "R&B on "Morph"." with the pipe
• "production assisted by Paul Meany of Mutemath." → "production, assisted by Meany."

• "scattering things such as Tyler Joseph's" → "scattering content such as Joseph's"
• "The track was equipped with falsetto R&B" → "The track is equipped with R&B" because you shouldn't give the full info here to avoid repetition
• "also deployed accelerated" → "also deploys accelerated" but bare in mind, I have not requested tense change for ones that are from sources detailing the recording specifically (the other info belongs here, but it is still about the song in its existent state)
• "demonstrating how much of a virtuoso percussionist Dun had become." → "demonstrating Dun as a virtuoso percussionist." with the pipe

Composition

• Retitle to Composition and lyrics
• ""Morph" is a" → "Musically, "Morph" is a"
• Are you sure lounge and jazz are separate genres when the source calls it "lounge jazz"?
• The length is not directly mentioned by the source; it only says the song is slightly over four minutes

• Pipe chorus to Refrain
• Pipe double meaning to Double entendre
• "on how Tyler Joseph" → "on how Joseph"
• "moving forward and continue" → "moving forward, and continue" but the problem is that this is full on repeated from earlier; shouldn't you crop the part in the other section to avoid overly repeating things?
• "can truly "hear."" → "can truly "hear"." per MOS:QUOTE

Critical reception

• Retitle to Reception and add the chart listings as the second para since everything in the lead needs to be written out in the body
• Remove pipe on Trench
• "Neil Z. Yeung complimented Tyler Joseph's" → "Neil Z. Yeung complimented Joseph's"
• Fix MOS:QUOTE issues throughout this section but remember, this does not apply to full sentences quoted

Final comments and verdict

•  On hold until all of the issues are fixed; good job with the broadness but you need to fix mostly repetition and the ref layout! --K. Peake 20:16, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

• EthanRossie2000 Nice job working on this so far, but you should have left a comment to notify me since I had no idea until checking the article days after the review – you still need to implement the fixes for charts and refs, however. --K. Peake 10:52, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

• I am sadly going to have to ✗ Fail this article since despite it being onhold for so long and the user having continuous prompts, they have still yet to work on the charts and references issues properly. I know it's only two sections, but it's bigger than it seems in areas like the Plugged In ref that is invoked more than five times. However, if the issues are fixed and this is re-nominated, I will probably take it back up! --K. Peake 06:06, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
