 * Lead
 * Between the Times and the Tides is the ninth studio album by American alternative rock musician Lee Ranaldo, released on March 20, 2012 on Matador Records. — Remove.
 * His first release on Matador Records and since Sonic Youth's indefinite hiatus, features a more straightforward songwriting approach to his prior material and includes guest musicians such as Nels Cline, John Medeski and Leah Singer. — Change  to something else, such as "the recording" or something similar as you just mentioned the album's title in the first sentence and twice in the second paragraph.
 * The album was originally intended to be a minimalist acoustic album but its sound was developed by Ranaldo during its recording at Echo Canyon West in Hoboken, New Jersey during a seven-month period in early 2011. — Link acoustic music acoustic
 * The title of the album comes from a lyric in the song "Xtina as I Knew Her." — I don't see this information within the article, as per WP:LEAD, try to include this information somewhere within it. Then you could remove the reference from the lead.
 * Its two singles—"Off the Wall" and "Shouts"—were moderate successes but failed to chart. — How were they "moderate successes" but failed to chart?
 * Changed to "critical successes" to avoid confusion. Idiotchalk (t@lk)

 * Background
 * I see no mention of his previous studio album Maelstorm from Drift. Information about this album could be included to give the section some body.
 * Most of the material he began arranging had been written throughout when the songs "just kept flowing out behind that one ["Lost"]." — Seasons are opposite in the southern and northern hemispheres, so "use neutral wording (between June and August 2010, in the second quarter of 2010)" per WP:SEASON.

 * Recording
 * OK here.


 * Composition
 * Could an image of one of these artist not be included here?
 * "Waiting on a Dream", the album's opening track, contains a guitar riff that resembles The Rolling Stones' song "Paint It, Black" — According to whom?
 * ✅ Idiotchalk (t@lk)


 * Packaging
 * Three months after the album's release, Ranaldo began a blog—"tidesandtimes–walkingmen99"[10]—on the social media web site Tumblr in which he encouraged users to submit pictures of themselves at the Walking Men 99.[11] — Is this relevant?
 * ✅ Not particularly, removed. Idiotchalk (t@lk)

 * Both are self-published publications.

 * FN12 — No italics to iTunes Store. Not a printed source per WP:CITEHOW.
 * ✅ Fixed.
