Talk:It Was Hot, We Stayed in the Water

Comments from DMT

 * "It Was Hot received positive reviews from Pitchfork, AllMusic and Sputnikmusic. Pitchfork included the album at number seven on their list of the "Top 20 Albums of 2000". The album received more reviews following its 2013 reissue, including positive reviews from PopMatters, Consequence of Sound, and Treblezine." - I think it better if the lede summarised why critics liked the album rather than merely document the reception.
 * To-do


 * As Mirah isn't mentioned significantly again, "he encouraged and helped fellow K Records musician Mirah record her debut album, You Think It's Like This but Really It's Like This (2000)" seems irrelevant.


 * "but the album's title does not refer to a specific body of water" - feels irrelevant.


 * "Blau is German for blue, which is the reason for the song's lyric "blue moon"' - irrelevant.


 * "is Drum solos" - ?


 * ""The Pull"'s lyrics" to 'The song's lyrics'


 * What is the reliablity of Treblezine and Sputnikmusic? In the case of the latter, is the reviewer an amateur or staff member?
 * Sputnikmusic is reliable per WP:A/S; the review is a EMERITUS review. For Treblezine, they have editorial oversight, although they are a small site. I'm not too sure about the reliability: I can probably start a discussion at WT:ALBUM if it comes up in the review. — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 19:21, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Removal of treblezine would not be difficult: Just would need to remove the "The album makes little use of reverb effects" statement and attributed opinions. — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 19:31, 3 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Feeling like summary would do wonders for the reception - less quotes, better readability: Copyediting reception sections
 * To-do


 * Could we get some more specifications on the personnel?
 * I don't own any physical copies, so the best I can go off of is the liner notes that people uploaded to Discogs (all the images I saw didn't have specific personnel listings). I realized that AllMusic has credits listings, but I'm unsure, since they have Elverum just down as "Engineer" when he clearly did more than that. — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 19:21, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Update, found someone in RYM's release history saying they got the personnel information from the CD booklet. I'll look around for that online; when I was doing Mount Eerie (album), I asked someone who owned the copy for an image, and that was really helpful, so might try it. — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 19:21, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

That's really all, without getting pedantic. Of this undertaking, I think this is your best work so far. DMT Biscuit (talk) 20:38, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
