Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

Drum and Bass is one of my favorite electronic music genres. Electronic music is fascinating in that it is open to so many creative twists to the genre and that countless sub-genres can emerge relatively easily. It is important to make sure that each sub-genres are well-documented so that people who might be interested in the sub-genre can become knowledgeable enough to be thoughtful consumers of the genre and help to develop the genre as well. My preliminary impression of it was that it might be related to Samba.

Evaluate the article
The lead section is very clear in that it gives us a good idea of what Sambass is. It lets us know what the name of the genre refers to. The content, while being short, discusses the origin of the genre, the meaning of its name, and the artists that produce the genre. However, it is too short and doesn't dive deeper into each section. The tone and balance is neutral, but the amount of content is too small (2 sentences) to contain a certain tone.

There are two sources: One is a news article, and another is a discography website. Since the only source with an actual content to cite is an article, it feels like there should be more content that describes the background of the emergence of genre, including those who influenced the development of the genre.

The article is too short to determine its writing quality.

At the moment, there hasn't been any discussions in the 'Talk' section.

Overall, the article is too short to even evaluate, but I believe that this article is open to more description and can be developed in an interesting way. It can be improved by describing which elements of each music were implemented in this genre and possibly including interviews from the artists or labels.
