No longer GA[edit]
It's been a long time since the article was assessed (2008), but in my opinion it no longer meets the GA criteria. The sections are a bit of a mess. One section (Release and Reception) repeats the content of other sections and does not cover critical reception at all. The sub-section entitled Songs reads more like Singles and should be part of a larger section titled Release and Promotion. Any suggestions / ideas? Leoseliv (talk) 14:39, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
