This is quite an old GAN, so here is the review much due! --K. Peake 08:53, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox and lead

Infobox looks good!
Move the last two sentences of the first paragraph to coming after the writing credits instead for the most appropriate order

Done

"It is an exotica album about" → "An exotica album, it is about"

Reworded this a little differently; let me know what you think

"which was compiled onto the DVD Gūzen no Kiroku on November 16, 2005." → "which were compiled onto the DVD Gūzen no Kiroku in November 2005." as this is too much info for the lead with the exact date

Done

"in 2010 and also featured" → "in 2010, and also featured"

Done

Background and development

First para looks good!
"Before performing live, the band first" → "Before performing live, Sakerock first"

Done

"based on keyboard" → "based on keyboards"

Done

The zeroth album quote is not sourced

The comment under Yuta says: 一枚目というより０枚目という感じ ("Rather than our first album, its more of our zeroth.")

Writing and production

Audio sample looks good!
"insignificant, interesting livelihood" quote is not sourced

There is a quote by Gen Hoshino in the review of Life Cycle: 生活っていうのは、こんなにくだらなくて、おもしろい ("Livelihood is this insignificantly interesting")

Pipe ad lib to Ad libitum

Not done per WP:NOTBROKEN

Pipe punk to Punk rock

Same as above

Release and reception

"and was reported to have" → "and were reported to have"

Done

"indicating that it sold less than" → "indicating having sold less than"

Done

"described it as" → "described the album as"

Done

"enjoyed sound's focus" → "enjoyed their focus"

Changed to just "the focus"

The reprint is not sourced

Fixed; I linked the wrong CDJournal ref

Credits and personnel

I think it would be better to avoid name all of the members themselves or write the name of the band for the top credit

My apologies, but I'm not sure what you mean here. I've copied the format used on articles like Documentaly

Track listing

Good

Release history

Format → Format(s)

Done

References

Copyvio score looks top notch at 1%!!!!
Fix MOS:CAPS issues with refs 2, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26; to specify, this refers to when full words are capitalised that should not be

This came up during the last review as well, I'll copy the response I gave there: "There are no capitalization rules in Japanese, so altering to title case would be inaccurate to the correct spelling of the titles. Hence, I believe this is not a mere stylistic function."

Shouldn't ref 7 only cite Kakubarhythm?

Kakubarhythm were technically the publisher, but I've removed it since it's probably unneeded

External links

Good

Final comments and verdict

On hold until all of the issues are fixed; a long nomination ticked off for you! --K. Peake 21:18, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Kyle Peake: I believe I've responded to every comment! IanTEB (talk) 21:56, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Pass now and regarding the points where you had questioned what I meant to be implemented, all looks fine there too congratulations! --K. Peake 16:33, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much for the speedy review! It seems less people check the albums nominations section than the songs one, so I really appreciate you taking this on. Sorry I haven't reviewed one of your articles like I've promised. Personally, I find reviewing articles rather tedious, so I'm always impressed by how many you do. Again, thanks for the review, and I'll see to return the favor (hopefully) soon! IanTEB (talk) 20:09, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
