AZD (Album)
AZD (pronounced "Azid") is the fifth studio album by British electronic musician Actress (whose real name is Darren Cunningham). It was released on 14 April 2017 on Ninja Tune Records. Upon its announcement, the video for the lead single "X22RME" was released on Ninja Tune's YouTube channel. '''The album AZD is Actress' fifth album. The album before that, Ghettoville, was suspected to be his last album.'''

'''As an artist, Actress has always been considered a vague artist in regards to the intentions behind his actions and albums. There is also a common nature in the type of sound that is used between his albums as written by "The Quietus". That nature has been described as "hazy" and "techno". A common theme that was experienced by listeners was death and a downbeat vibe with his last albums.'''

Yet the album AZD shows Actress in a more humorous and open light.

'''Cunningham also give vague titles to his music works to give his audience only a glimpse of what the concept of the pieces really are instead of truly revealing his thoughts on his songs. The album has a central concept of the sound associated with 'chrome'. 'Chrome' can represent futuristic ideals while also conveying coldness which in turn could mean human dissociation. Even with this, AZD is a big change in terms of energy regarding every past album of Actress'. The energy is described and felt as higher and not as gloomy and dark as the others.'''

Article Evaluation
The article List of Red Hot Chili Peppers band members on Wikipedia has several problems. First the title should be "List of Red Hot Chili Peppers Band Members" to make it a formally grammatically correct title. Second, the lead section is too large and should be more concise with essential information that will give the reader the basics of the topic at hand. A lot of it will have to be moved into the body so that the reader can easily access the basic information in the lead section. If the author wanted to keep all of that information, the title should also be changed. The information in the author's lead section is very much story-based and background oriented; it is not just a list of the members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers Band. It could be something like "The Formation of the Red Hot Chili Peppers Band". Yet, I think that it is possible to leave out a lot of the background information provided based on the title the author originally gave it. The author's hyperlink to Anthony Kiedis itself in the author's article, has a whole section on the formation of the band, therefore making much of the information in the lead section unnecessary and repetitive.

Under the section, "Former Members" in this article, there could and should be pictures for everyone of the past members uploaded. There should also be sources for each one of the "Release contributions". The "Timeline" section should be explained more instead of just a graph alone because it is unclear of how to decipher exactly what all of it means.

It might be an issue that a good chunk of his researched content is based on a book by Anthony Kiedis himself which might be a biased primary source. Information should come from independent resources. Some of the other sources are from the Rolling Stones website which might not be the best source to use either.
