Review
  • I've copy-edited the page. CrowzRSA 02:32, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Kyuss & Chris Goss (in the infobox) — should be Kyuss and Chris Goss CrowzRSA 17:15, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Done. RG (talk) 06:25, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Stoner rock/metal (in the infobox) — should be 'Stoner rock, heavy metal]] or something. CrowzRSA 17:15, 5 August 2010 (UTC) [reply]
Done. RG (talk) 06:25, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • The intro needs to be expanded. CrowzRSA 18:05, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've expanded the lead slightly. If it requires more expansion feel free to tell me. RG (talk) 06:25, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Kyuss only used half the P.A. system for the other eight concerts. — What is the P.A. system? CrowzRSA 02:32, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
A system used to distribute sound. I've provided a link in the article. RG (talk) 06:25, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • The album was also popular on album-oriented radio and picked up airplay on stations including KNAC, KISW, WYSP, and KIOZ. — This line does not make sense to me, nor does it read well. CrowzRSA 02:32, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
How's this for better wording: "The album also received airplay on such album-oriented radio stations as KNAC, KISW, WYSP, and KIOZ." RG (talk) 06:25, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Daniel Bukszpan has wrote that the album has influenced "countless" bands. — Whoever Daniel Bukszpan is, it should be noted after or before his name (ie MTV's Daniel Bukszpan [or] Daniel Bukszpan of MTV) CrowzRSA 02:32, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The author of The Encyclopedia of Heavy Metal. RG (talk) 06:25, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Many consider Blues for the Red Sun, —This should be specific, and I'm sure they all didn't say that quote. CrowzRSA 02:32, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That's as specific as the source gets. "a record lauded by many as the template for 21st century bands that have followed in the pioneering wake of Kyuss." RG (talk) 06:25, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Some even consider it the best album Kyuss ever made. — More specific CrowzRSA 18:05, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've made it clear that this was Steve Taylor's opinion. RG (talk) 06:25, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • The personnel section should have links to things like vocals, guitar, bass, drums, producing, mixing etc. CrowzRSA 17:15, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Done. RG (talk) 06:26, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • File:KyussBluesfortheRedSun.jpg should be of at least 200 x 200 (it's now 200 x 197) CrowzRSA 17:15, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Truth be told, I'm sort of clueless when it comes to uploading images and things like that. I don't know how to get the image to those measurements. Is there anything I can read to help me with this problem? RG (talk) 06:25, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I fixed it. CrowzRSA 17:47, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ref 8 has incorrect name CrowzRSA 17:15, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Done. RG (talk) 06:25, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
