Im sorry but i am failing this article.

WP:MOSQUOTE. This entire article is a giant quote farm. Maybe 10% is not quotations, about 90% of it is all quoted when most of it could easily be explained in prose. Wikipedia is not a quotation farm and this is borderline copyright infringement.
WP:NFCC. Why are 3 music samples needed for an article this small?
(Not a GA issue but need to be addressed). Referencing issues; WP:MOS#Date. Use YYYY-MM-DD or the written form, not both. WP:MOS#Italics, only online magazines and newspaper are to be in italics, places like Allmusic and MusicOHM (just two examples) should not be.
Prose and structure issues, Reception, why is there eight paragraphs? There should be 2, 3 at most. One review doesnt get its own paragraph, they should be merged and structured like Hard_Candy_(Madonna_album)#Critical_reception.
WP:OR; Genres are not sourced in the infobox of under Style (where they should be).
OR under Track listing, it needs a source to the digital booklet, producers and writers should also be listed.
No personnel section?

I see you have never written a GA music article before, although your FA's are impressive this article is not, thus i am failing it. If you would like to see it at GA status, please see Animal (Kesha album), The Fame Monster, or Hard Candy (Madonna album) for proper Good articles. Thank you. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 06:24, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks for the review and comments. I'll do some work on converting some of the quotes to prose, and on the other points you raise. Cheers, --J N 466 15:38, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
