Melancholia Hymns, Landslide and break-up (2016–2018)

Musical style and influences
The first paragraph of this section is over referenced, and needs rewriting for easy reading. Once something is referenced once, it does not need referencing again. ✅

Genres such as alternative rock, math rock, post-hardcore,  progressive rock,  indie rock  and progressive metal. This sentence is crude grammar. Whom or what is it addressing? Consider dropping this sentence or rewriting. (sentence removed) ✅

During the song-writing process the band change their own conventions to create a new sound  What does this sentence mean? (sentence rewritten) ✅

Timeline
The text on the left side of the timeline image (and legend below) blurs on the page. The original does not come up on a right click. Consider the image and how it is placed. Width is 1000px ✅



Final

 * GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):  d (copyvio and plagiarism):

 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * 1) It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * 1) Overall:
 * Blood & Chemistry and Heaven & Earth (2011–2014) is a much sharper section of this article, in comparison to Early years, which looks like it has a lot of original research and does not read well. Melancholia Hymns, Landslide and break-up (2016–2018) does not emphasise the reception of their music sufficiently.
 * From 2011 to 2014, they were a solid and noteworthy group. Musical Style and Influences section needs cleanup. I am not enamoured of this opinion, that opinion, there needs to be clear steady delivery of their musical style. I do not see any material relating in influence. Consider.
 * 2749 page views in the last 3 months; 95 editors making 181 edits.
 * The issues with links will have be addressed or the article will go to fail.
