   Pass/Fail:

This article is in reasonable shape and is on its way to GA but I'm afraid there are too many things to do at this stage so I'm going to have to fail. I've provided a list of several improvements needed below and would encourage the original nominator to resubmit the article for GA review once these have been dealt with.

1. My main concern is that the article is short and stubby. Consider expanding some of the paragraphs and merging others where appropriate. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums for what should, and what should not, be included.
2. Too much reliance on quotes in the 'Background' section. A lot of these need rewriting in your own words and it would be good to cite more than just the one interview.
3. I'm fine with ReGen Magazine been used as a cite for the interview but what makes it a reliable source for news and reviews?
4. The coverart should be resized to 300 x 300 pixels which is the maximum size allowed to meet fair use.
5. Did the album chart internationally or just in the US? The chart section should also contain details about the album's release
6. The reviews section only contains three sources - surely the album received more reviews?
7. Why does the tracklisting section state "Tracks 1–10 from Allmusic" - what about the other tracks?
8. The infobox should not contain flags and should only have the original date of release in Skinny Puppy's own country

GA review response

1. Still working on expanding and merging.
2. Re-wrote background section. Still looking for another interview.
3. I believe ReGen uses editorial oversight sufficient to be considered WP:RS.
4. Re-sized cover art to smaller than 300x300.
5. I don't think the album charted internationally, still researching that.
6. Added additional reviews.
7. Removed unsourced tracks.
8. Fixed infobox.

1. Did some expansion; not sure about what, if any, sections could be merged.

2. Added second interview to background section.

5. Can't find any international chart information.

6. Added another review.
