Hi there, I'll be taking a look at this article. I figured I'd review this article since I'm also involved with music related articles. Should get a review out by the weekend. Famous Hobo (talk) 19:08, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lead Not much to report on here, looks good.

Production and composition

"The game's score accompanies the gameplay, alerting players at specific times." What does the game alert the player about? I do remember that a sound cue plays when you get close to a clue, but it should be described in more detail. This should also be referenced.

L.A. Noire Official Soundtrack

There is some redundancy in the first paragraph, such as Jackson's work with Red Dead Redemption. A lot of the wikilinks in the paragraph should also be removed, as they're already mentioned in the first section.
Change iTunes to iTunes Store. iTunes simply plays the songs, while iTunes Store is the marketplace.
London Evening Standard link is broken and needs to be replaced.

L.A. Noire Remixed EP

Louis Armstrong is mentioned as one of the artists, but he isn't on the track listing. Include Lionel Hampton instead, as that is what the ref mentions.
The wikilinks for Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald should be removed as they were already wikilinked in the first section. Once again, change iTunes to iTunes Store and remove the wikilink.
Since Jen Bosier and David Smyth were already mentioned in the L.A. Noire Official Soundtrack section, They should simply be referred to as Bosier and Smyth to avoid redundancy, and without their respective websites.
This isn't an issue, but it is a shame their are so few reviews for either album. I was going to ask for more reviews, but after a quick look through of Google, I can't even find the reviews already listed in the article.
Out of curiosity, why is there no album cover for the remix?

References Everything looks good, with archived links, yay! Well, except for number 2, but since it asks for a birth date, you can't archive it. I had to deal with that in another article I worked on. I hated seeing a link that couldn't be archived, but oh well.

Alright, that's about it. Short and simple article, but well written and verifiable. Once all the minors nitpicks have been addressed, I'll be happy to promote it. I'm putting the article on for 7 days, but seeing how there's no major problems, it really shouldn't take more than 10 or so minutes. Famous Hobo (talk) 06:22, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review, Famous Hobo! I've gone through and fixed your concerns. It sucks that I can't find more reviews for the albums, but I guess what we've got isn't terrible. It also bugs me that I can't archive reference #2, but I have an offline back-up in case the website goes down (which is very unlikely). As for the lack of an album cover for the remix EP: it was originally a part of the article, but was subsequently removed due to its similarity to the existing album cover (relevant discussion can be found here).

Let me know if you have any remaining issues with the article. Thanks! – Rhain1999 ^{(talk to me)} 07:31, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rhain1999, so I'm going to be unavailable for like the next 7 or so hours (long story, have to edit on my phone), so I won't be able to do a final check through until tonight. But don't worry, I'll pass it tonight. Famous Hobo (talk) 16:55, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, looked over everything else, and I'm now happy to pass this article. Good job. Famous Hobo (talk) 02:04, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
