GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

---

This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

1. Is it well written?

   A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:

   In the lead, "The album generally was positive" ---> "The album received generally positive reviews from music critics". In the Background section, in the first mention, you might want to say who Kerry King is. Do the same with Jeff Hanneman, Dave Lombardo, and Tom Araya. In the Reception section, "Greg Moffitt from BBC said" add "the" after "from". Same section, Leonard Pierce writes for The A.V. Club so you might want to add that.

   Done

   Check.

   B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:

   In the lead, you have "Greg Fidelman" linked twice, you just need it linked once. Same section, and throughout the article, "Billboard 200" ---> "Billboard 200". In the Lyrics section, the second sentence, I believe you don't need that quotation mark in front of Tom Araya. Same section, "the guitars are simply further down in the mix and sometimes it becomes difficult to discern Araya's bass..." ---> "[T]he guitars are simply further down in the mix and sometimes it becomes difficult to discern Araya's bass..." In the Singles section, "The song premiered on October 29, 2008 on a Youtube stream" ---> "The song premiered on October 29, 2008, on a Youtube stream", commas after dates, if using MDY. Same section, "'Hate Worldwide' was released as a limited-edition single on October 20, 2009 through Columbia records as a compact disc" ---> "'Hate Worldwide' was released as a limited-edition single on October 20, 2009, through Columbia records as a compact disc". Same section, you have "Hot Topic" linked three times, it needs to be linked just once.

   Done

   Check.

2. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?

   A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:

   The link titles in References 2, 4, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, and 38 are not supposed to be in all capitals, per here. You need to have a consistency with the dates, either use MDY or 2010-07-28. Refs. 6, 17, 20, 24, 28, and 31 are missing Publisher info. In Ref. 26, "Chicagotribune" ---> "Chicago Tribune". In Ref. 32, "Billboard charts" ---> "Billboard charts". The link to Ref. 32 doesn't link to anything but the home page. In addition, you need to have consistency with "Blabbermouth.net" being italicized or not being italicized.

   Done

   Check.

   B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):

   C. It contains no original research:

   Is "Shock Hound" a reliable source?

   ShockHound is a division of Hot Topic, Inc., as you can verify here

   Alright, just needed to know.

   D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:

   B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):

4. Is it neutral?

   It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:

5. Is it stable?

   It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:

6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?

   A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:

   File:SlayerWORLDPAINTEDBLOOD.jpg and File:PsychopathyRed.jpg need lower resolutions.

   Done

   Check.

   B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   If the statements above can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article!
