United Abominations


This peer review discussion has been closed. I've listed this article for peer review because I have worked on it the last couple of days and plan to take it to FAC. This is the first album article I have rewritten.

Hiya - found a number of issues of style, spelling and grammar in the article: I have tried to fix all of them. If there's anything obvious I've missed, fix it yourself - if there's anything you disagree with, revert and take it up with me.--Vox Humana 8' 00:08, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I would generally agree with J Milburn's comments on the matter. This is a long way off GA, never mind FA. Still, what are we here for? We're here to get it there...--Vox Humana 8' 14:19, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

J Milburn
Not a fan of Megadeth, at all, but happy to go ahead and give a read and a review. Also, I found myself being really picky about phrasing, so I'll just go ahead and change that myself. Article has also been edited by User:Vox Humana 8', who I was talking to while writing this review.


 * I'd remove that banner- it's ugly, and honestly don't think it would help improve the article.
 * If we can't have a link for the Kerrang! review, can we have a ref?
 * "at the time" At what time?
 * "When Mustaine was asked in an interview why the lyrics" Interview with who, from where?
 * "When Lomenzo was asked" Who's Lomenzo?
 * "Big Fish Encinitas, California and Backstage Productions" Where or what is Backstage Productions?
 * "The recording line up comprised" Repetition of 'line up' sounds poor.
 * "Appearing at track 11, "A Tout le Monde (Set Me Free)" is a remake of "A Tout le Monde" originally appearing on the 1994 album Youthanasia." Sorry, why are we suddenly talking about that?
 * Not sure the "Gears of War" stuff belongs in that section...
 * "Mustaine stated "We're putting" Where did he state that?
 * "The completed album was leaked on to the internet in April 2007" Ref?
 * "received its official release on May 14, 2007. The first pressing of the album, released exclusively in Japan on May 8, contained a cover of the Led Zeppelin song "Out on the Tiles".[11] The album was released internationally on May 15 and a day later in the United States." Wow, what? Slow down. Chronological order. It was released in Japan on the 8th, then [where?] on the 14th, then somewhere on 15th ('internationally' isn't fair- you're writing too much from a US perspective- 'internationally', to me, generally means 'in Germany'...) and finally, the US on the 16th. Right?
 * "Finland, five in Canada" Can we have links to those countries, please?
 * "which will last until March 2008." Is due to- let's not say things are guaranteed to happen.
 * "Lacuna Coil, and" Link?
 * "prog-worthy chops" Link to progressive metal? I assume that is what is meant? It's late...
 * I am really not sure about that Mydenrocks interview- as long as we can be certain that it is genuine, we can reference the comments of Mustaine, but who's this Dave Myden character? Just some dude with a Blogspot account?

This really isn't your best, FA is a long, long way off. It really is lacking something, and I'm not sure what. Or maybe it's just me. Or maybe it's just because it's Megadeth. :) Seriously though, I wouldn't nominate for GA quite yet, nevermind FAC. Have a look around for some more sources, see what else you can find. There must be loads of good sources for something like this. J Milburn (talk) 00:09, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
 * This is my first album article, so I don't quite have the hang of it yet. I am not nominating it for anything yet. I will work on this in a little while. &mdash; Burningclean &#91; Speak the truth! &#93; 18:09, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
