1) MOS
 * Chart placements need to be in following format, No., per WP:NUMERO.

2) Refs
 * The dates on references need to be in a consistent format.
 * Gold Cobra sold 27,500 copies... needs a source.
 * ref 18 no longer works, see WP:GOODCHARTS for a list of suitable replacement sources.
 * Allmusic as the publisher is sometimes italicised and sometimes not, be consistent. Again the same with Artistdirect. Sometimes it Blabbermouth.net and other times it is just Blabbermouth. Check all publisher/work/newspaper options on refs are consistently formatted and named.
 * ref 26 has the same date twice, it seems to incorrectly using |author=
 * Deccan Chronicle needs to be italicised and again in the Pro ratings box


 * A couple of other things
 * Was the album certified anywhere?
 * The size of the text on the music sample looks small.
 * Could do with a link to Billboard 200 within the prose.

All done for now. The main problem here is the references, I'll leave this on hold so that the issues can be fixed, thanks. Mattg82 (talk) 01:03, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
 * It appears that some but not all of the issues were fixed. This should be either passed or failed in the next day or two. Wizardman  Operation Big Bear 03:00, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually, after comparing the review comments to the changes, I see almost nothing has been fixed. As a result, I'm failing this. Wizardman  Operation Big Bear 05:05, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
