• Hi, @Skyshifter! I don't have a QPQ, but I do have it in my heart, so I'll be reviewing this hook. Once and for all, wow, this is interesting! Santi (talk) 23:48, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

  However, before reviewing this, I noticed that you have a QPQ. Have you already done it? Santi (talk) 23:52, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

  OMG. Sorry 2 much. You have already done it with the mentioned article. I apologize, so I'll start with the basic. Santi (talk) 23:55, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Overall: My preference is the original setence, not the ALT1 (By the way, why did you put it in?) However, is Bandcamp a reliable source? Santi (talk) 23:55, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

@Pollosito: ALT1 was my attempt at a "quirky" hook, but I also prefer ALT0. Regarding Bandcamp, it is a valid use of a WP:PRIMARY source. Skyshiftertalk 01:19, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

@Skyshifter: Ok. Then it's approved. Excellent hook! I never had contact with this type of topics and, honestly, it is super interesting. I thought it was going to be difficult to review but it turned out to be easier LOL. Santi (talk) 01:23, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
