[edit] Tago Mago
Hey there,
First of all let me say thank you for the work you've put into this article: thank you. I've made some fixes that I believe you would have had to make after the Good Article review (and I'd be happy to explain any of them if you have questions), although it's still not going to pass in its current state. A couple issues I didn't fix:
- "'Mushroom' is the follow-up to 'Paperhouse' which has a darker sound than the previous song." Firstly, I've never heard the term "follow-up" used to describe the following album track, but that's a minor issue. More importantly, you've presented the statement as a fact, but you should say it's the opinion of Leone.
- You use the term "signature sound" in the Music section. That's original research, and like the previous issue, you can't use terms like that unless someone else has written it, and even then you can only present it as the critic's opinion.
- More POV statements: "After a relatively conventional first LP", "some of Can's most avant-garde music". The rest of the paragraph is fine.
- "Tago Mago has been critically well-recieved and is credited with pioneering various modern musical styles." You need to expand on this a lot more. More examples of critical praise, examples of styles the album pioneered, examples of bands citing the album as an influence, etc. (Also, 'received' is spelled wrong.)
Take care of those issues and it'll be much closer to Good Article status. I'll dive in if the article fails the review. —Zeagler (talk) 16:54, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks, those issues are now fixed. Dadaesque (talk) 05:07, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- Nice work. Let me just explain the one change you reverted, which was the previous album in the infobox. I'm well aware that WP:ALBUM guidelines suggest that "only studio albums, usually not live albums, etc." be included in the chronology, but the purpose is to show albums that are important to the artistic development/trajectory of an artist. That's why live albums have been included in the Allman Brothers Band chronology, for example, or the mostly-B-sides compilation Retro Active in the Def Leppard chronology. So I'd say Soundtracks is worthy of inclusion here because it's representative of where the band was artistically after Monster Movie, since the tracks were contemporary and both vocalists appear. (On the other hand, I would not include Delay 1968 in the chronology since it was an archival release.) I'm not going to get into an edit war over this, though. If you have a better reason to leave it out, then leave it out. —Zeagler (talk) 10:37, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
