| Submission declined on 26 April 2018 by IVORK (talk). Per the other decline. An individual album needs to be notable per WP:NALBUM, not just be a work from a popular band. Please add references that prove it's notability / ratings on national level charts / coverage by multiple independant reliable sources etc

| Submission declined on 25 April 2018. This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. The reviewer(s) who declined this submission will be listed in the page history. | |
Comment: You have sources from NME, Spin, etc..., Add the information! Adding information about the reviews will show coverage in independent reliable sources, and will satisfy WP:NALBUM (or at the very least WP:GNG) for me. Bkissin (talk) 21:16, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

It features original songs written for the album, songs previously written for the musical These Paper Bullets and the film Ordinary World, and one cover song.[3] It was preceded by the release of a 3-song preview, entitled The Longshot EP, on April 12th[4], and several audio teases posted to Instagram in the weeks leading up to the album announcment.[5]
A music video was released for the album's title track on April 20th. While Armstrong performs all instruments on the album, during live performances billed under The Longshot, he is joined by Kevin Preston and David S.
