My first review for you in a long time; will take this on soon! --K. Peake 10:37, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
Infobox and lead
[edit]- Separate studios in the infobox by using flatlist instead
- Pipe Astoria to Astoria (recording studio)
- Add a comma after debut studio album
- Only introduce Charlotte Hatherley as being a guitarist since the Nightnurse part is too much detail for the lead
- "joined the band." → "became a member."

- "With sessions also held at" → "With additional sessions held at" to be more specific
- Pipe Astoria to Astoria (recording studio)
- "the band co-produced the proceedings with" → "Ash produced the proceedings alongside"
- "Described as a garage rock album," → "A garage rock record," since "described" is not appropriate lead language

- "inspired Nu-Clear Sounds." → "inspired the album."

- "at number 7 in the UK and charted in Australia, Germany, and Norway." → "at number seven in the UK, alongside reaching the top 50 in Australia, Norway and Scotland." per MOS:NUM and since the German position is too low to be notable for the lead
- "Nu-Clear Sounds was certified" → "It was certified"
- Mention the certification was by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) at the end of the sentence

Final comments and verdict
[edit]On hold until everything is fixed; this did not take too long! --K. Peake 16:34, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
- @Kyle Peake: Made the changes; added two comments above. Yeepsi (talk) 17:16, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
- Yeepsi ✓ Pass now, after I did very brief copy editing! --K. Peake 20:23, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
Garage Rock?
[edit]This is objectively not a garage rock record. Just because some reviewer used the term in connection with it I don't think it should dictate the genre listing for the page. 2603:301F:1B5D:2940:820:BDB:CD90:BC45 (talk) 16:14, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
