Review

• I've copy-edited the page. CrowzRSA 02:32, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
• Kyuss & Chris Goss (in the infobox) — should be Kyuss and Chris Goss CrowzRSA 17:15, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Done. RG (talk) 06:25, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

• Stoner rock/metal (in the infobox) — should be 'Stoner rock, heavy metal]] or something. CrowzRSA 17:15, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Done. RG (talk) 06:25, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

• The intro needs to be expanded. CrowzRSA 18:05, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

I've expanded the lead slightly. If it requires more expansion feel free to tell me. RG (talk) 06:25, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

• Kyuss only used half the P.A. system for the other eight concerts. — What is the P.A. system? CrowzRSA 02:32, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

A system used to distribute sound. I've provided a link in the article. RG (talk) 06:25, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

• The album was also popular on album-oriented radio and picked up airplay on stations including KNAC, KISW, WYSP, and KIOZ. — This line does not make sense to me, nor does it read well. CrowzRSA 02:32, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

How's this for better wording: "The album also received airplay on such album-oriented radio stations as KNAC, KISW, WYSP, and KIOZ." RG (talk) 06:25, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

• Daniel Bukszpan has wrote that the album has influenced "countless" bands. — Whoever Daniel Bukszpan is, it should be noted after or before his name (ie MTV's Daniel Bukszpan [or] Daniel Bukszpan of MTV) CrowzRSA 02:32, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

The author of The Encyclopedia of Heavy Metal. RG (talk) 06:25, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

• Many consider Blues for the Red Sun, —This should be specific, and I'm sure they all didn't say that quote. CrowzRSA 02:32, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

That's as specific as the source gets. "a record lauded by many as the template for 21st century bands that have followed in the pioneering wake of Kyuss." RG (talk) 06:25, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

• Some even consider it the best album Kyuss ever made. — More specific CrowzRSA 18:05, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

I've made it clear that this was Steve Taylor's opinion. RG (talk) 06:25, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

• The personnel section should have links to things like vocals, guitar, bass, drums, producing, mixing etc. CrowzRSA 17:15, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Done. RG (talk) 06:26, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

• File:KyussBluesfortheRedSun.jpg should be of at least 200 x 200 (it's now 200 x 197) CrowzRSA 17:15, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Truth be told, I'm sort of clueless when it comes to uploading images and things like that. I don't know how to get the image to those measurements. Is there anything I can read to help me with this problem? RG (talk) 06:25, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

I fixed it. CrowzRSA 17:47, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

• Ref 8 has incorrect name CrowzRSA 17:15, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Done. RG (talk) 06:25, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
