My 300th GA review now!! --K. Peake 09:17, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

• Infobox looks good!
• "It was released on" → "The song was released on"
• "while Healy wrote the lyrics about" → "while Healy explained the lyrics are about"
• The drug-fuelled conversations and social interactions are not directly sourced as inspiration in the body

• Reworded. Giacobbe ^talk 13:39, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

• Remove "upbeat", as that language is not needed for the lead
• "wanting to quit" → "attempting to quit"
• "The track explores themes such as" → "Themes explored on the song include"
• Pipe neon-lit to Neon lighting

Background and development

• Wikilink Cheshire on the quote box
• The word chart is not needed after Billboard 200
• "number 7 on the US Billboard Top Alternative Albums chart and US Billboard Top Rock Albums chart." → "number 7 on the Billboard Top Alternative Albums chart and number 8 on the Billboard Top Rock Albums chart." with the pipe
• Don't think the release year of the single is needed in brackets when you are already writing about 2013
• "deleted their social media accounts and posted cryptic cartoons," → "posted cryptic cartoons and deleted their social media accounts," because the other order reads somewhat confusingly
• "later to announce a" → "later to announce their absence was for a"
• "saying the song was driven by" → "saying it was driven by"
• "he has to younger fans," → "he has towards younger fans," per the source
• "despite behind a former addict," → "despite being a former addict,"
• "towards cocaine remained nonchalant:" → "towards cocaine has since become nonchalant:"
• Maybe you should reword the drug-fuelled conversation and social interactions to make it clearer that they inspired the song?
• Wikilink Zane Lowe
• Pipe Beats 1 to Apple Music 1
• Pipe single to Single (music)

Music and lyrics

• Audio sample text needs a full-stop at the end, plus remove the second pipe to synthesizer
• "and has a length of" → "which has a length of"
• [25] should be after [23][24] instead due to backing up the synth-pop ballad part
• Wikilink tempo
• Are you sure the synth squeaks part isn't just repeating the synths info from someone else's POV?
• [33][20] should be put in numerical order
• "self-obsession and" → "as well as self-obsession and" to avoid confusion
• ""Ugh!" is about Healy's" → "It is about Healy's"
• "and his attempt" → "and his unsuccessful attempts" per the source
• "he cannot give it up." → "he cannot give his lifestyle up." to be specific
• Pipe chorus to Refrain
• "funky 1980s art-pop" → "funky 1980s art pop"
• "to Scritti Politti." → "to the former."
• "could make it dreary" → "could make the song dreary"
• "compared it to the band's" → "compared the song to the 1975's"

Reception

Critical response

• Remove or replace the img, as only two critics make the comparison mentioned
• "declared it the" → "declared the former the"
• "with its glowy synth." → "with the glowy synth."
• "called "Ugh!" delightful, while" → "called "Ugh!" delightful while"
• Digital Spy should not be italicised
• "calling it a" → "observing there is a"
• "the band presented a clear agenda by releasing it" → "the 1975 presented a clear agenda by releasing the song"
• Shouldn't you start [the track] with capitalisation if you are using the quote as a full sentence?
• "Healy's vocals, while calling" → "Healy's vocals while calling"
• Remove pipe on Billboard
• "commended its "glorious" → "commended the song's "glorious"
• "move it away from" → "move the song away from"

Commercial performance

• "and was later ranked at" → "before later being ranked at"

Music video

• Pipe neon lights to Neon lighting
• Even though the video continuing the theme of "Love Me" is sourced, the neon being the continuation is not

• [58]: "While the very soft neon color theme from the "Love Me" video continues". Giacobbe ^talk 16:59, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

• "As the band perform," → "As the 1975 perform,"
• Remove the word retro as the description does not state or imply this

• [60]: "... new song, 'UGH!' - which continues to perpetuate the band's new retro vibrantly coloured aesthetic". Giacobbe ^talk 16:59, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

• "of their debut album." → "of The 1975.

Final comments and verdict

•  On hold until all of the issues are fixed; nice to review a GAN of yours from a different album this time around! --K. Peake 16:23, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

• @Kyle Peake: I believe I've addressed/corrected all of your comments, let me know if there's anything I've missed! Also, glad you enjoyed it, this is actually my favourite album of theirs. Giacobbe ^talk 17:04, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

• @(CA)Giacobbe: Most of this looks good, but I would like to ask are you sure "muted" is appropriate language for the description of the video continuation? --K. Peake 17:45, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

• @Kyle Peake: Yes. In colour theory, muted refers to a colour that lacks saturation, and is a widely recognized descriptor. It wouldn't be considered slang (some more info here and here). Giacobbe ^talk 18:09, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

• @(CA)Giacobbe: ✓ Pass time, do not see any further issues and thanks for clarifying! --K. Peake 18:53, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
