Lead and infobox

Please add ALT text for the infobox image.
I am not sure if this part (, a somewhat disappointing showing for the band.) is necessary. Unless you have a source to support this, it reads more like an opinion. I think that the previous part on the chart placement by itself conveys that it was a rather disappointing showing without this.
I would use Smith’s full name on the first mention (i.e. Ross “Clancy” Smith).
You can refer to Springfield by his last name after you first introduce him. I notice in the lead that you say his full name a few times.

Background and recording

Could you add a more descriptive phrase in front of John Einarson other than “author” as it is a little vague?
For this part (his apartment in New York), do you mean New York City?

Release and reception

For this part (while AllMusic declared), include the name of the person writing for AllMusic.

Other renditions

For this part (Highly orchestrated, Unterberger), the beginning phrase is connected with the subject, so it literally means that Unterberger is “highly orchestrated”. Revise the sentence to avoid this.
Include the year in which Forever Changes was released.

References

Please revise the title of Reference 17 as it should not be in all caps.

Final thoughts

Great work with this article. I will pass this after my comments are addressed. Aoba47 (talk) 19:29, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Aoba47 thank you for reviewing this. Before I get started, are you referring to Buffalo Springfield here: "You can refer to Springfield by his last name after you first introduce him"? Buffalo Springfield is the name of the band; I don't believe I can go by just "Springfield" because that isn't a commonly-used abbreviation of the group. Anyways, I'll get to work shortly. Thanks again!TheGracefulSlick (talk) 19:51, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for addressing this. I honestly have never heard of Buffalo Springfield before reading this article (I forget that they were band actually when writing that comment ><), so I agree with your point so you can refer to them by the full band name for the reasons stated above.

Sometimes, what it is ain't exactly clear so no problem. Aoba47 I think I addressed everything but let me know if there is more I should do.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 11:12, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Verdict

Thank you for addressing everything. I will ✓ Pass this. Aoba47 (talk) 16:17, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
