 * Resolution of cover art images should be lowered if possible, they're a bit big.
 * Just so I'm clear on this, what is an acceptable resolution?  REZTER  TALK   &oslash;  10:59, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * This image had a 240x240 version uploaded. I haven't checked if it's the same thing, but something that size would be good (and for the other image, obviously). giggy (O) 01:09, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Done.  REZTER  TALK   &oslash;  01:45, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Check italics for ref publishers like Metal Hammer (sometimes it is; sometimes it isn't) (and there are others, check all).
 * Done.  REZTER  TALK   &oslash;  11:20, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Ref 21 publisher is Allmusic.
 * Done.  REZTER  TALK   &oslash;  11:20, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Ref 25 publisher is charts.org.nz (note the nz)
 * Done.  REZTER  TALK   &oslash;  11:20, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * In Professional reviews, AMG shouldn't have italics. And Stylus mag should?
 * Done.  REZTER  TALK   &oslash;  11:20, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 'Also lead vocalist Corey Taylor drank heavily throughout their time in The Mansion, "I would drink from the moment I got up until the moment I passed out."' - don't start sentences with "also"... needs reword.
 * Reworded, check it out.  REZTER  TALK   &oslash;  11:20, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * "Jordison explained that they had wrote more than enough" - wrote --> written?
 * Done.  REZTER  TALK   &oslash;  11:20, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * "Though many songs, such as "Pulse of the Maggots" and "Before I Forget",[12] use the band's usual "pounding metal" style." - should this have been merged with the previous sentence?
 * Done  REZTER  TALK   &oslash;  12:53, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The Musical and lyrical themes section is a lot of quoting. Use your own words, based on the reviews, rather than quoting - that's why there's a reception section.
 * OK man, I rewrote it, check it out.  REZTER  TALK   &oslash;  14:18, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * "ohnny Loftus of Allmusic, wrote the album" - why the comma? (This is common throughout.)
 * I tidied up some of the prose.  REZTER  TALK   &oslash;  14:39, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * "with "Before I Forget" from the album" - I don't think you need the last three words.
 * Done.  REZTER  TALK   &oslash;  11:26, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

 * "Similar to their previous albums the lyrics include strong use of metaphors and touches upon themes including anger, disaffection and psychosis." - doesn't sound good starting a sentence with "similar"... just talk about what's on this album, then perhaps mention that it's similar to something else.
 * Removed.  Black  ngold29   01:32, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * "being labelled as including "stately vocal harmonies"" - by who?
 * Accredited.  Black  ngold29   01:32, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
