'''OVERALL REVIEW'''</br>
After reviewing this article, I have decided to fail the article at this time. There are numerous issues that standout that keep this article from reaching good article status. First of all, the layout of the article needs some work. There are sections that need to be subsections and there are details that need to organized in a better fashion. Second, there are several details that aren't specific enough. When dealing with names of music reviewers, you need to be specific with who they are (i.e. Alex Lai of Contactmusic.com). Third, a lot of the references have either inactive links or do not properly source the information in the article.

You are welcome to renominate this article when the problems addressed here have been fixed. Good luck next time. - <font face="Comic Sans MS"><span style="color:#0f0">]</span></font><font color="CCCCCC">]</font> 04:46, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
