Infobox and lead edit

  • The exact release date needs to be sourced in the body as 18th August
  • Same for the recording months
  • Sony Music Studios, Sydney → Sony Music, Sydney
  • The lead is quite disordered at the moment; the first sentence should be followed by the info currently in the second para, then reception and awards followed by commercial performance and legacy
  • "It debuted at number one" → "The album debuted at number one"
  • Mention it was certified platinum in Australia and by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA)
  • "the album won four awards" → "four awards were won by Gang of Youths"
  • "Go Farther in Lightness's lyrics focus" → "its lyrics focus"
  • "bleakness and triumph,"" → "bleakness and triumph"," per MOS:QUOTE
  • Shouldn't the tour be mentioned by name in the lead?
  • "where three tracks from the album placed" → "where three other tracks placed"
  • "was critically acclaimed by reviewers and" → "was acclaimed by music critics and"
  • "It topped the annual" → "A top position was achieved the annual"
  • "and two of its tracks featured" → "and two of the tracks featured"

Background edit

  • Add the "I don't think" part to end the frontman's quote
  • Where is the EP release sourced in relation to his quote?
  • No visa complications are sourced

Composition edit

  • I think swapping these sub-sections would make for the correct order

Lyricism edit

  • "something you love,"" → "something you love"," per MOS:QUOTE – these are throughout when you have punctuation inside quotes at unsuitable points
  • Where are the recurring themes sourced?
  • Pipe soul to Human spirit

Production and recording edit

  • Wikilink Darlinghurst to itself
  • Avoid any usage of claim per WP:CLAIM
  • Audio sample looks good!
  • I have noticed more MOS:QUOTE issues in this sub-section, as I explained for the other one
  • "interludes for the album" → "interludes for Go Farther in Lightness"
  • The interpolation is not sourced

Release edit

  • Retitle to Release and promotion
  • Wikilink David Le'aupepe on the img text
  • The release date is sourced as 9 February with no music video, mention this was the lead single from Go Father in Lightness too
  • "They would later perform" → "Gang of Youths would later perform"
  • The ARIA position needs a source and the link should be to ARIA Charts
  • "was released on 26 July" → "was released on 26 July 2017"
  • The sixth and final single is not sourced
  • Remove wikilink on Australian Albums Chart and this needs to be sourced; if not, change the information
  • Reword the certification sentence to saying the album was certified in Australia by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) with the number of copies

Tour edit

  • "made their United States TV" → "made their US TV" per MOS:US
  • "The band toured" → "Gang of Youths toured"
  • "They performed for" → "The band performed for"

Critical reception edit

  • "received widespread critical acclaim." → "was met with widespread critical acclaim from music critics."
  • "calling it "a remarkable" → "calling the record "a remarkable"
  • MOS:QWQ issues again
  • "called the album "a" → "called Go Farther in Lightness "a"
  • Remove pipe on The Music

Legacy edit

  • "has been featured in" → "has led to rankings in" and end the sentence here, starting a new one for RS
  • "It also topped" → "The album also topped"
  • The Powderfinger, Chet Faker and 200 parts are not sourced
  • "Further, two more songs featured" → "Furthermore, two songs featured"
  • "has become the band's" → "has become Gang of Youth's"
  • Remove the 95 million part since it's not sourced
  • Table looks good!
