Main - Before I delve into the article and prose, I'm going to list things that stand out.

• A nice audio sample with a good description would be nice, to give the reader a sense of the album's sound and direction.

I am not familiar with audio sample uploading, rules, etc. Will examine Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Music samples. --Another Believer _(Talk) 19:44, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Having read the link, I'm afraid I am not comfortable with or capable of uploading audio samples (Audacity?, .ogg?). I wish I could address your concern, but audio uploads will need to be left for someone else. --Another Believer _(Talk) 01:32, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Also, just asking, do you think there is possibly any more content/information that you can add for the first two sections? Or have you added all you found?

I have added all free content I can find online; I'd be happy to incorporate any more content possible if it were provided to me. Google News Archive contains a few pay-per-view sources, but I'd be broke if I had to pay $2.95 each time I wanted to read a restricted article! I wouldn't nominate an article for GA status unless I felt I found as many free sources as possible via Google, Google News/Archives, Books, etc. More detail can always be added about songs appearing on the album (original composers, years, etc.) but this can take away from information about the album itself. --Another Believer _(Talk) 01:32, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Metacritic should be 69/100

Done. --Another Believer _(Talk) 19:42, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• As it is only one nomination (that is or could easily be mentioned in the prose) I don't find the little box necessary

Done. --Another Believer _(Talk) 19:42, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• As for the track-listing. Are those all the main writers and producers? Look at The Emancipation of Mimi to see what I mean. It looks like you've only listed writers. Maybe a change in structure for the listings would be useful.

I'd display the producers if I knew the identities for individual tracks. Otherwise, the producers (James' two sons) are listed in the infobox, the lead and the composition section of the article. --Another Believer _(Talk) 01:32, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• A few issues with references: For #1 & 4, 13, 16 publishers? #5 should be Wenner Media.

Done. --Another Believer _(Talk) 19:42, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Start with those and then we'll get to prose.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 16:30, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please let me know which concerns still need to be addressed and if you found others. Again, I'd be happy to incorporate any other references into the article if you happen to find any not included. --Another Believer _(Talk) 01:32, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
