I can take a look at this! Because I am now teaching full-time, it may take a few days to complete this review in its entirety. — Ghost River 23:06, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pre-production and initial tracking

Franceschi said if the band members lived within a small, sparsely populated area, they would "probably end up killing each other" because they were social people." → "Their label initially suggested a secluded forest location, a proposal that the extroverted band rejected, with Franceschi saying that they would "probably end up killing each other" if they could not interact with other people."

Replace the paraphrasing on the first sentence of the second paragraph with the direct quote from the Rock Sound interview

Songs

Link "football" to association football, to distinguish it from gridiron football
It is reminiscent of some of the songs on Hold Me Down. How so?
"Franceschi called "No One Does It Better" and "Crash" ~~are~~ "pretty chilled-out" and ~~are~~ in similar style"

Did a quick google and couldn't find anything about it. Yeepsi (talk) 13:33, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reception

Most of this section revolves around reviewers' reactions to the change in genre; this should be mentioned somewhere directly in prose, outside of the quotes

Chart performance

Sinners Never Sleep reached number one on the UK midweek album chart, before falling to number three after selling 27,000 copies. Unclear sentence; I'm not sure when the selling 27,000 copies happened
The last sentence has little to do with charts and should be in a separate section called "Accolades"; you should also mention what the end result was of these nominations

Track listing

Good

Personnel

Pipe "producer" to Record producer, "engineer" to Audio engineer, "mixing" to Audio mixing (recorded music), and "mastering" to Mastering (audio)

Charts and certifications

The three-column look appears squashed; I'd prefer seeing the weekly and year-end charts as a two-column chart, and certifications down below in a space to itself

References

Good

General comments

Two photos, both of which are properly licensed and are relevant
Per MOS:CAPTION, there should not be a period in the caption of the second photo, as it is only a sentence fragment.
No stability concerns in the revision history
Earwig score looks good at 20.0%, all due to proper nouns and attributed direct quotes

Putting on hold to allow nominator to address comments. Ping me if there are any questions. — Ghost River 13:04, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
