Talk:Mount Eerie (album)

GA preperation
As requested by, I'm going to issue some comments on the article. DMT biscuit (talk) 16:41, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Lead

 * The mentions of Mount Eerie (artist) and Pt. 6 & Pt. 7, although having articles, still need citations in this article.
 * ✅ Mcguy15  (talk, contribs)
 * "Described by Elverum as being about "[mountains, earth and space]" - Needs citation
 * ✅ Mcguy15  (talk, contribs)
 * "eventually dying in the second-last track." - Needs citation.
 * ✅ Mcguy15  (talk, contribs)
 * Mention of drones needs citation.
 * ✅ Mcguy15  (talk, contribs)
 * All rest  Mcguy15  (talk, contribs)
 * ✅ all Mcguy15  (talk, contribs) 17:08, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

Recording

 * "Elverum attempted to write down all of his ideas for the album prior to recording the album. He ended up creating a chart of elements which created an outline for what later became "I. The Sun" and the start of "II. Solar System". This chart included lyrics, instruments, and moods." - Needs citation.

M&L

 * "For the purposes of this section, "Elverum" refers to Phil Elverum, the musician; while "Phil" refers to the character Phil from the album, who attempts to climb Mount Eerie." - Needs citation.
 * This isn't a fact—I added it as a note for clarity to distinguish from the character and the artist. I could source the media notes, because that's how he distinguishes himself and the character there. Mcguy15 (talk, contribs) 18:29, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * "Move the reception table to the reception section.
 * ✅ Mcguy15  (talk, contribs)
 * "Terrifyingly" - It's subjective and written in a non-encyclopedic manner.
 * ✅ Mcguy15  (talk, contribs)
 * "In the loneliness, the music becomes bare. With the vulture's cawing and the hissing of the wind slowly subsiding, the track ends." - Needs citation.
 * ✅ Mcguy15  (talk, contribs)
 * "A "ghostly chorus" – similar to the one used on "III. Universe" – is present, along with a "titanic bass drum". With that, Phil's journey ends." - needs citation.
 * ✅ Mcguy15  (talk, contribs)

Reception

 * Metacritic needs a citation.
 * ✅ Mcguy15  (talk, contribs)
 * RateYourMusic is not permitted due to being user-generated. AnyDecentMusic? is another music aggrate source that is permitted.
 * ✅ Adding that was a bit of WP:IAR but in retrospect a bad idea. I can't find the album at AnyDecentMusic so I've removed the phrase. Mcguy15  (talk, contribs) 18:29, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Dlugacz's spelling of Elverum isn't false; that version is his birthname, adding the e around this time.
 * ✅ Mcguy15  (talk, contribs)
 * This section can be expanded.

 * Genuinely can't find anything! Mcguy15  (talk, contribs) 19:30, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ After a bunch of digging, the credits are listed on the vinyl. Someone took was able to take a picture which is amazing! I'll source this similar to Headwaters Mcguy15  (talk, contribs) 19:54, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Sourcing
Sources are all fine, per GA standards.

Conclusion
The article has been improved rather well, but is short of GA status. Some more time and it should be there - hope these general comments helped. DMT biscuit (talk) 17:12, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much! These comments are thorough and extremely useful. I'll continue fixing the rest soon! Mcguy15  (talk, contribs) 18:29, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Suggestion
Hey! Happy to see this article at GA. Just a suggestion I had: A picture of Mount Erie with a caption along the lines of: "The album's narrative centres around the album's namesake, pictured above." DMT biscuit (talk) 18:13, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Hey! I was just thinking that the lead could be expanded. In particular, I think a summarization of R&B, Release and Reception would be beneficial. DMT biscuit (talk) 09:48, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

ATT
Just to note, all quotes need to be attributed, ie say who said/wrote them...eg removed "cinematically" here as was not clear who was describing the opening song in that way. Nice work otherwise. Ceoil (talk) 00:36, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
