Reference[edit]

Great article. Looks like a potential GA nomination, but one reference seems questionable. In the sentence, "Yeasayer started work on a second studio album in February 2009.^[5]", this citation doesnt seem to verify anything about the album, and it is a blogspot. While blogs should generally be avoided (WP:SPS), if this is a primary source, like the blog or account of the artist with first-hand knowledge, then an exception may be made, but the source doesnt seem to verify the sentence.

Reads a little bit like PR[edit]

I think overall the article is pretty good, but the second paragraph reads a little bit like some band PR. Almost every indie/pop album in the past 30 years has claimed to combine experimental approaches with pop structures. The same could be said of "merging genres" (a phrase that's used so often to describe bands that it's largely become meaningless). Now I'm a fan of this album and Yeasayer do indeed combine experimental approaches with pop structures, but this is still the kind of record label fluff that should be converted into more objective language in my opinion.

Merge O.N.E. (song)[edit]

Cannot see how this song passes notability. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:38, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Do we have to have a standalone article for every song which gets covered on Pitchfork's website? In ictu oculi (talk) 13:38, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If this is article is your definition of standalone, then the answer for your question is yes, we do, and we must do. Also, I cited other 5 sources, including Rolling Stone, and those links are just the first 3 pages of a Google search. Plus, it charted in two national charts, so it satisfies WP:GNG. © Tbhotch^™ (en-2.5). 19:15, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
