This is a quickfail. At this time, I think the organization of background information is not where it should be for this type of article. The reception section also requires significant work to bring it to standard; it is overly quote-based.

Suggestions for the nominator:

Increase the detail on the background and development of the album. Add some context about past releases. Look at other album GAs to see how this is done.
A Reception section should not be a string light of quotes. Right now, there is a quote in every sentence beyond the summary of this section! Keep a handful of quotes whose wording is particularly useful or noteworthy and paraphrase the rest.
