  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
  • Resolution of cover art images should be lowered if possible, they're a bit big.
    • Just so I'm clear on this, what is an acceptable resolution? REZTER TALK ø 10:59, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • This image had a 240x240 version uploaded. I haven't checked if it's the same thing, but something that size would be good (and for the other image, obviously). giggy (:O) 01:09, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Check italics for ref publishers like Metal Hammer (sometimes it is; sometimes it isn't) (and there are others, check all).
  • Ref 21 ([1]) publisher is Allmusic.
  • Ref 25 publisher is charts.org.nz (note the nz)
  • In Professional reviews, AMG shouldn't have italics. And Stylus mag should?
  • 'Also lead vocalist Corey Taylor drank heavily throughout their time in The Mansion, "I would drink from the moment I got up until the moment I passed out."' - don't start sentences with "also"... needs reword.
  • "Jordison explained that they had wrote more than enough" - wrote --> written?
  • "Though many songs, such as "Pulse of the Maggots" and "Before I Forget",[12] use the band's usual "pounding metal" style." - should this have been merged with the previous sentence?
  • The Musical and lyrical themes section is a lot of quoting. Use your own words, based on the reviews, rather than quoting - that's why there's a reception section.
  • "ohnny Loftus of Allmusic, wrote the album" - why the comma? (This is common throughout.)
  • "with "Before I Forget" from the album" - I don't think you need the last three words.

Please leave me a note when done. Cheers, giggy (:O) 10:34, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • "Similar to their previous albums the lyrics include strong use of metaphors and touches upon themes including anger, disaffection and psychosis." - doesn't sound good starting a sentence with "similar"... just talk about what's on this album, then perhaps mention that it's similar to something else.
  • "being labelled as including "stately vocal harmonies"" - by who?
