This is pretty decent article! I'd say it's well on it's way to GA status, and I only have a few suggestions to get it over the hump:
The lead needs to be expanded quite a bit. Per WP:Lead, it should summarize the major points of the entire article.
The first image needs a Fair-Use rationale. The second image (of the music video should be of a lower resolution (ideally under 300x300 px).
The citations also need a bit of work. Namely, the publisher values shouldn't have external links. Instead, the proper name of the publisher should be used, wikilinked wherever possible. So citation #1 should use "NME" not "http://www.nme.com".
The cover art section seem unneccessary, mainly since it's so small. I'd recommend moving it to the Critical reception section, since it's pretty much the same thing.
Speaking of the Critical reception section, it breaks up into a bunch of fragmented one-sentence paragraphs. Overall the section needs a bit of a polish language-wise. Combining all the one-sentence paragraphs would be a good start.
All of the reviews are positive, so it would be good to add at least one negative review, to balance things out and avoid being POV.
The one-sentence paragraph in the Music video section also needs to be fixed.
An External links section of some sort would be good.
And that's it! So, I've put the article's nomination on hold, a process which lasts 7 days, at which point I'll have to either pass or fail the article. Feel free to drop me a line when you feel you've addressed my concerns. Drewcifer (talk) 23:08, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Cool, looks good. I unstruck all of my comments, for posterity's sake. Excellent work! Drewcifer (talk) 20:32, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
