Never heard, but worth a listening

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
"Written and produced entirely by Hunt," - Randy Jackson was executive producer, so Hunt basically did not entirely write and produce

""runs the gamut from Everly Brothers harmonies, to smoothed-out soul with spacey edges to lots and lots of Prince homages.[17]" - you forgot one quotation mark

"white barbage bags set against a concrete wall.[11]" - garbage bags

"Excluded from the album," - do you know why?
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Just this.
Pass/Fail:

I don't see any reasons why this article won't be a good one.That's me! ^{Have doubt?} Track me! 14:57, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Response I corrected the spelling/punctuation errors, but I don't know why the song was excluded. I assume it's because it has a different style than most of the album. As for the production credit, there isn't anything about Jackson's involvement in recording the album, so his exec. credit seems to be on the business side, like financing it. Does the "produced" in "Written and produced entirely by Hunt" need to be distinguished then? Dan56 (talk) 21:03, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, just remove "entirely", because he is still a producer.♫GoP♫_T ^C _N 15:39, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
