I will be doing this. — Yash! ^(Y) 21:15, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

Lead

• self-produced - produced
• Unlink Rock (music) in the second mention
• Shinoda as simply "a rock record", serves a statement by the band against contemporary mainstream and active rock bands, accused by Shinoda - try not to repeat Shinoda in one sentence.
• based off - based on
• There is no mention of critical reception, commercial performance, charts or accolades.
• Lead says there were two producers and infobox says four.
• Include year in brackets after Meteora.
• Unlink the common link studio album
• material being improvisationally written in the studio by the band. - material being improvisationally written by the band.
• There should be a "other uses" template at the top of the lead.
• Machine Shop should be mentioned in the lead.
• Use Los Angeles instead of LA.
  • All these have been fixed. Kokoro20 (talk) 07:55, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
• Another thing I just noticed, quotes should not be in the lead if possible per WP:QUOTE#Formatting so try to phrase them
  • I'm not sure how to go about fixing these.

Background

• electronic and experimental sound - they did release two studio albums with electronic sound so I believe it was no more experimental. It is just a suggestion and I wouldn't mind if you differ.
  • Since "experimental" is sourced, I think it would be best to keep that term in there.
• link Living Things Tour
• You need to include year in brackets after every time you mention the album.
  • Every time? I can understand the first time you mention a particularly, but every other time seems unnecessary.
    • My apologies. I was under a wrong impression. — Yash! ^(Y) 05:31, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
• Unlink the common link Demo (music)
• were still commercially - were commercially
• Right now we talk too much about the previous two albums that it goes off topic. Trim the last part of the first paragraph
• produced and recorded demos - recorded and produced
• continued the sound of A Thousand Suns and Living Things, for the band's sixth studio album during - continued the sound of A Thousand Suns and Living Things during... - Add the years as well
• which received a positive reception - which received positive reception
• although - though
• The big quote in the last part of the first paragraph is in German. Is the current part translated? If yes, you will need to include the original German quote (and trim the German and English quotes down) or find the English version of it.
  • The video in the source is in English, and contains that quote.
• remove "itself"
• composed and recorded the album in vein of the album - text could be clearer
• Try not to repeat "composed and recorded"
• Same goes for "in context"
• inspired by artists members of the band listened to before the band started their musical career. - Make it clearer
• remove "music magazine"
• Period should be inside the quotes in the last quote.

Composition

• Period should be inside the quote if the person who quotes the quote ends the sentence. Check that throughout please
• rock record "It's - rock record; "it's
• stated - described
• 90s - 1990s
• Unlink the common link Guitar solo
• Reference for the media file?
• The sample is of 168 kbps. That is too much. It should be 128 at most,.
• The sample is of 30s. It should not be more than 10% of the original song.
  • I honestly have no idea how to work samples. Someone else uploaded it. Would it be better if I just removed it altogether?
    • Let it be for now. I will fix that once I get back to my home on 5th. — Yash! ^(Y) 05:31, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, probably not so much, me thinks it be over. Also, why did someone find it necessary to include a picture of THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS on a page dealing with LINKIN PARK? if you want to see what 30S2M looks like, use the links embedded in the text.

Accolades

• where it lost to "Three Days Grace"'s Painkiller. - Italics and "" are wrongly used.

I will go through References tonight. It looks good to go. BTW, on a side note, I loved their electronic work ("Iridescent" and "Waiting For The End" are my favourites by them). I am not really a metal fan but I enjoyed "In The End", "Numb" and few others. Didn't really like this album, what about you? — Yash! ^(Y) 10:02, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

• I've always been a fan of their first two albums (Hybrid Theory and Meteora). This one is my favorite album by them since Meteora. I also like some songs from their other three albums though. In fact, "Lost in the Echo" from Living Things is one of my favorite songs by the band overall. Also, everything from above should be fixed now. I'll get to the references later.
